About Buck Ridge Soap Company

Tammie McClure, better known as Tam, is a professional graphic artist who fell in love with the craft of soap making and then turned her hobby into a business. Tam first started making soaps for her late husband, Scott, with Camper's Friend being her first soap blend to help keep the bugs off him at his job near the Arkansas river. Scott, her husband of 27 years (at only age 46) passed in November of 2018 and she has dedicated herself to grow Buck Ridge Soap in his memory. Buck Ridge Mountain which the company got its name from is located located in the tiny community of Springfield, Arkansas. Tam grew up on this land and moved back to it after college. Most people in the area are farmers or drive long distance to work. Tam herself drove to work in Little Rock over an hour away for more than 20 years until building the Buck Ridge workshop. Every one of Tam's soaps are made in the USA, they are made by hand, hand poured and hand cut. No factories, no machinery, just old fashioned soap making. Because of this, each soap might be slightly different in size and shape. Other products like beard oils and balms are made at the time of order so they are fresh and have a longer shelf life since they were not sitting around for months on a warehouse shelf. Buck Ridge has no employees, Tam is the sole maker and shipper so lead times are between 1 to 2 months. Read their story
