“Wait, What IS That Fluffy Stuff?”
Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me tell you about one of the most confusing—and most loved—products we sell.
The scenario: We’re at a craft show (Williams Grove, East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest, Central Dauphin). Someone stops at our table. They see jars of fluffy, cloud-like product. They pick one up, look confused, and ask:
“What IS this? Frosting?”
I laugh every single time. Because honestly? It DOES look like frosting. Fluffy, whipped, colorful, sitting in a jar like fancy cupcake icing.
But nope—it’s whipped soap. And once I explain what it does, people usually buy 2-3 jars.
Why? Because whipped soap is that rare product that makes you feel pampered without requiring extra time or effort. It’s practical luxury—the kind that busy Central PA families actually use, not just display on a shelf.
Let me tell you how this became one of our bestsellers.
Whipped Soap Explained (Without the Technical Jargon)
Think of it like this: Take regular soap. Add nourishing oils and butters (shea, coconut, etc.). Whip it like frosting until it’s fluffy and cloud-like.
The result: Creamy, gentle cleanser that lathers beautifully, cleans effectively, and leaves your skin feeling soft (not stripped or tight).
How it started for us: Maddi and I were experimenting in our Enola kitchen one weekend, trying to create something that felt luxurious but was still practical for everyday use. We’d seen whipped soap at a maker’s market and thought, “We can make that!” After several batches (and some hilarious failures), we landed on the perfect fluffy texture. Now it’s one of the first things people ask about at craft shows.
What’s in it:
- Oils and butters - Hydrate and nourish your skin
- Gentle cleansers - Create that rich lather without harsh chemicals
- Natural scents - We rotate scents often, so follow us on social media to see what’s fresh!
Why it’s fluffy: Because we literally whip it! The air incorporated into the soap makes it light, fun to use, and super spreadable.
Why People Love It (Real Reactions from Our Craft Shows)
“It’s so gentle!” Customers with sensitive skin tell us this all the time. Unlike harsh body washes that strip your skin, whipped soap cleans gently without that tight, dry feeling afterward.
“My skin feels SO soft!” The oils and butters in whipped soap don’t just clean—they moisturize while you wash. You might not even need lotion after! (Though our body butter is still amazing if you want extra pampering.)
“I can use it for EVERYTHING?” This is my favorite part. One jar, multiple uses. More on this below!
How to Use Whipped Soap (5+ Ways!)
Here’s what makes whipped soap my secret multi-tasker. One jar can replace like three different products:
1. Body Wash (The Obvious One)
Scoop a small amount (seriously, a little goes a LONG way). Massage it onto wet skin in the shower. Watch it lather into rich, creamy bubbles. Rinse. Feel how soft your skin is.
Pro tip: Want even more lather? Use a loofah or washcloth. The whipped soap spreads easily and creates mountains of bubbles.
2. Shaving Cream (Customer Favorite!)
This is the use that surprises people most.
Why it works: The creamy consistency lets your razor glide smoothly. No nicks, no irritation, and your skin feels moisturized (not stripped) after shaving.
How: Apply a thin layer to legs, underarms, wherever you’re shaving. Shave as normal. Rinse. Done.
Real feedback: “I bought whipped soap for my shower and discovered it’s the BEST shaving cream I’ve ever used!” - Customer at Williams Grove
3. Bubble Bath
Want a luxurious bubble bath without buying separate bubble bath products?
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of whipped soap under running bathwater. Watch the fluffy bubbles pile up. Soak. Enjoy the scent. Feel pampered.
4. Foot Soak
Mix a scoop of whipped soap in a basin of warm water. Soak tired feet. The soap gently cleanses while the oils moisturize. Your feet come out soft and refreshed.
When I use this: After a long day at craft shows standing on my feet for 8 hours. Game-changer.
5. Hand Soap (Travel-Friendly!)
Keep a small jar by your sink as fancy hand soap. The fluffy texture makes washing hands feel like a mini spa moment.
Bonus: Great for travel! TSA-friendly jar, no spills, works for body wash + shaving + hand soap all in one.
Why I Love Telling People About Whipped Soap
Every time someone discovers whipped soap at our craft show booth, I see the lightbulb moment. “Wait, I can use this for shaving AND as body wash AND for bubble baths?”
Yep. One jar. Multiple uses. Gentle on skin. Smells amazing. Made in small batches right here in Enola.
That’s why whipped soap is one of our bestsellers. Once people try it, they come back for more (and usually different scents to try).
