About Amaro Soaps & Co.

Hello! We are the Amaro Siblings! We started this business as young teenagers Cristina 16yrs old, Carolina 15yrs old, and Ruben 13yrs old. And based our business off of faith, family, liberty, and hope. It all started with our family in Cuba with the scarcity of products in due to the Communism in Cuba. Our great grandmother would make soap with our dad, since he was 5yrs old from scratch based off what she learned from her mom and grandparents. Because back then there wasn't personal hygiene products in stores, and they had to make handmade artisan goat milk soaps. They would make soap in a tin can with goat’s milk and mix it with a wooden stick. Which they would take turns stirring as it would take hours to combine and thicken. They would pour into a wooden mold. And would unmold the next day. Our great grandmother would always emphasize the importance to add the goat’s milk. Our dad would work on the farm since he was a kid with his dad and grandfather. And at the age of 12 he would run the whole farm of 29 acres all on his own and make the soap since his grandparents were ill and dad was working. With no technological advancement or with tools other than their bulls, horses, and hands. He would use his hand to milk the goats, bulls to break the dirt down and plant for the season. He had the responsibility of planting, and raising, and making everything his family would consume or use. Read our full story at www.AmaroSoaps.comRead their story
