2015
Our story
In early 2015, my 14-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Trichotillomania, an anxiety disorder which had been causing her to pull out her eyebrows and eyelashes. In February, while on vacation in Florida, we had attended an Arts and Crafts festival in Delray Beach, and she was fascinated with the handcrafted soap booths at the fair. Since I was a former elementary school teacher and had a crafts background, I thought soapmaking could be a fun and therapeutic activity for us to do together. We did some research, purchased the necessary supplies and a few weeks later made our first batch of soap … needless to say, we were hooked! What began as a fun mommy/daughter project turned into a full-fledged business. We named our small company “PeaceLoveSoap” and immediately began selling our handcrafted products at local farmers markets, street fairs and holiday boutiques. We are now entering our ninth year in the soap business!
2018-2023
New beginnings
In 2018, as our business continued to expand regionally and nationally, we rebranded the company as The Copper Faucet Soap Company®. In addition to selling at multiple local farmers markets, street fairs, holiday boutiques and fundraisers, we also provide custom orders for birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers and weddings. We have also expanded our product line to include a line of home scents including hand poured soy candles, reed diffusers and room & linen mists and bath bombs, bath salts, shower steamers, shave soap, beard balm, beard oil, body butters, lotion bars and sugar scrubs. All items are handcrafted in small batches. We pride ourselves on offering all natural soap bars as well as a few fun and whimsical ones for the entire family to enjoy!
Following a very successful 2019 and 2020, we were excited to move into a new production studio in Larchmont, NY to meet with the burgeoning demand on the wholesale side and in our local farmers markets. In August of 2023, as we continued our rapid growth, we moved to a larger production space in White Plains, NY.
Today
Ten years and counting ...
As we enter our tenth year in business, we are excited to launch our updated website. If you are local, please visit us at one of the market or pop-up events in our area. We are also happy to provide our wholesale customers with expanded white labeling and private labeling opportunities.
This past year saw the launch of multiple new products and we have even bigger plans this year!
Bathe Blissfully Knowing What's Not On Your Skin
Our cold process soap bars are palm free, detergent free, paraben free and preservative free.
Our soaps also contain glycerin (which is created during the natural soapmaking process). Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture from the air and creates a moisturizing, protective layer on your skin.
Most commercial soap companies actually remove glycerin from their products, which is why many people find commercial soaps so drying.
