About Us

Between the two of us, we bring about a century of work experience to Rushbrook Soap โ€” from printing plants and newspapers to construction sites, banks, hospitals, law firms, and chicken barns. One of us spent time in the US Navy. We’ve roofed houses and typeset books. In early 2023 we decided to put all of that accumulated practicality to work making soap.

We make soap and wax melts, and hope to soon add candles and handmade journals to our offering. We hope you like what we make.

A note on soap bar weight: After a minimum six-week curing period, we label each bar at the lowest weight in its batch โ€” your bar may weigh slightly more due to the nature of handcrafting. Over time, as water continues to evaporate, the bar will lose weight but none of its cleansing power. Many handmade soap users prefer bars aged at least a year, finding them gentler and more pleasant. Scent will also mellow as essential and fragrance oils evaporate; storing your soap in a sealed container helps retain the fragrance longer.

Shipping: We offer free local delivery to certain ZIP codes around center city Charlotte, south Charlotte, and northern Lancaster and York counties in South Carolina โ€” delivered by motorcycle on the next fair-weather day. Orders of $80 or more ship free to the contiguous United States; orders of $100 or more ship free to Hawaii and Alaska.
