About Us
Violet Crown Soap Company is a family owned business. We hand-craft our products in our home in Austin, Texas.
I love figuring out which ingredients blend to make a batch of soap. Sometimes the idea for a soap will come full blown; other times I spend hours deliberating over a detail. When that happens, I consult the research staff - my sisters, my sons, or (if I can't find anybody else) my husband. One of them always has the answer.
It is such a kick to take a big pot of oils and butters, stir in lye and water and watch as it begins its transformation into soap. No matter how many times we do it, I'm like a kid at Christmas when it's time to unmold and cut each batch - I can hardly wait!
Our soaps and lotions are made with vegetable oils - no animal fat or petroleum products. Many of our soaps use only essential oils. We do use fragrance oils in some soaps, because they just plain smell good. We label each product with the ingredients so you'll know what went into it before you put it on your skin.

If there's a particular blend or fragrance you're interested in, please let us know. We love to experiment, and we're always stirring up something new.
Thanks for trying our products. We hope you enjoy using them as much as we enjoy making them for you.
