About the owners: I (Kathryn) am originally from Maryland (near Washington D.C), and my husband Richard is originally from Upstate New York; We currently reside in lower Alabama, enjoying the gorgeous weather and slower Southern pace of life. We have 5 children, 3 of them with high-functioning Autism, that keep us busy and on our toes! I was introduced to the wonders of African Black Soap when I was a teenager, by a Ghanian woman that I worked with. My passion bloomed from there! I started my small business journey in 2010, selling and marketing locally. We absolutely love the products we sell, and we use them ourselves daily. African Black Soap (ABS) has been the only soap my household has used for years, and shea butter and whipped body butters save my skin, especially during the winter months! We love sharing awareness of the benefits of ABS and shea butter, and we especially love being able to help people with their skin concerns. We truly love what we do! We also love that our purchases of soap and shea butter, helps to support the women and their families who tirelessly make these amazing products. Without them, the beauty and skincare industry would fall apart!
