The People’s Soap Company started after founder Rachel Potucek’s friends and family fell in love with a batch of handcrafted homemade soap she made them as gifts for Christmas. As most name-brand, mass-manufactured soap are wrought with chemicals, Potucek knew the simpler handmade soaps she made were cleaner, simpler and free of chemicals.
While researching handcrafted soap recipes, Potucek found a lot of handmade soaps are made from palm oil, which is responsible for the degradation of the rainforest. With that in mind, People’s Soap was created to shower the people with natural, handcrafted soap made with ethically-sourced whole oils and butters, being mindful of the responsibility we have to the planet and its future.
Since its founding in 2014, Potucek has been featured in the Los Angeles Times and profiled by Etsy in its “Meet the Maker” series, and has produced soaps for film studios, clothing lines, and sells her soaps around the world to museum gift shops, boutiques and even an olive ranch.
She is proudly partnering with local farmers and producers across California to raise responsible ingredients and she is working with at-risk youth to train them in career pathways at her Santa Ana, CA soap shop.

Love artisanal soaps! Would be especially interested in trying the charcoal and the chef’s soap. Thanks for posting!
These look amazing, I love small businesses doing good things!
I love trying new skincare products like this, especially when they are using natural ingredients. I have diabetic skin issues (weird dry patches) so I’m always looking for good products. Charcoal soaps work well & the charcoal/mint soap would probably smell great.
These soaps make great gifts. I like the products are eco-friendly since I strive to be mindful of this.
Her soaps look amazing, they’d be great for someone on my list, though it’d be difficult not to keep them myself 🙂
I’d love to win this so that I can give the soaps and beard oil away to friends and family who would truly appreciate the quality of Rachel’s handiwork.
Ohh, I’m really curious about these soups, Anita. I’ve never seen a charcoal soap, can’t even imagine the smell 🙂 so yeah, I’d love to win these <3
congratulations, you are the winner!
Yay! Thank you very much!!
Looks like a really cute gift set! I would love to get my kids’ teachers a gift set like this 🙂
My family loves handmade soaps, and these look like they are excellent quality. If I won this package I would have all my holiday shopping done in one fell swoop, including beard oil for my BIL!
