My search for simple, natural products led to the creation of
Summit Soapworks Herbal Soaps in my Vermont kitchen in
the spring of 2000. Finding myself allergic to commercial
soap products that caused me to break out I began making
soap. Armed with an old soapmaking book, pot, wooden
spoon and my very first soap mold - a recycled milk jug, I was
on my way to making the first of thousands of beautiful,
creamy, moisturizing soaps! Thank goodness that my father
took pity on me and built some real wooden molds.

Since then, thousands of Summit Soapworks soaps and other bath
products have been made by hand. And hundreds of craft shows in
the Northeast have been participated in, with two new members of our
family added along the way. Our Main Street storefront opened in
September of 2008. And still, today and everyday, I am honored and
thrilled that other folks have enjoyed our soaps and found relief for
their own sensitive skin.

I always welcome suggestions for new soap scents - some of our
favorites were suggestions from clients and friends. And, if you ask my
husband he'll tell you, I love to visit with folks so please feel free to
stop by and say "hey".

Our soaps are very special to us because they connect and bridge us
to nature and a more simple lifestyle. I hope that you feel this same
connection and enjoy our soaps!

Warm regards,

Christine Balch

A very big "thank you" to my family and friends for all of their love and
support and willingness to try all new products. And a special "thank
you" to my husband for his patience and his photography of all the
pics on this website!
