Grand Opening: Enjoy automatic $10 off your first order of $50+
When Pete first started making soap in our kitchen, it was simple: a desire to create something gentle, honest, and truly good for skin. What began as a hobby has grown into Sweet & Simple Soap—a collection of cold-process soaps made with care right here in Maine.
Every bar begins with the same foundation: olive oil for moisture, coconut oil for lather, and distilled water. Through the cold-process method, we preserve the natural glycerin created during saponification—meaning your skin gets cleansed without that tight, dry feeling. We avoid harsh detergents, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates in all our formulations.
From this clean base, we thoughtfully layer in scents and colors. Some bars belong to our All-Natural Line, featuring only essential oils and botanical colorants. Others in our Signature Collection use skin-safe fragrance oxides and pigments to achieve specific scents or hues that nature alone can't provide consistently (like certain vibrant colors or complex fragrance profiles). All ingredients are cosmetic-grade and rigorously tested for skin safety.
Today, we're thrilled to officially open our virtual doors. After weeks of curing (good soap, like good things, takes time!), our inventory is ready, our Shopify store is live, and we can't wait to share these bars with you.
Our Launch Collections
We began with signature bars that showcase our range:
- The Husband (Signature): Citrus, green, and woodsy notes—our playful Father's Day hero
- Velvet Matcha (All-Natural): Lavender essential oil with natural botanical coloring
- Northwoods (Signature): Balsam fir fragrance for forest lovers
- Pure Castile (All-Natural): Unscented purity for sensitive skin
- Sunny Squeeze (Signature): Bright citrus energizer
- Zen Meadow (All-Natural): Petite lavender bars with lavender seeds
Since opening, we've expanded to 38+ unique soaps across both lines—all made in small batches to ensure freshness and quality.

To celebrate, we're offering automatic $10 off any order of $50 or more—no code needed, the discount applies at checkout!
