Hello!

I'm Emily, the creator of Up in Suds🧼 I’ve been making handcrafted soap for over ten years, and as a redhead with sensitive skin, I'm very picky about my soap.

It is important to me that my products are natural, made in small batches, and give back to the community in Pittsburgh, my hometown. I strive to make soaps that stand out for their quality, wholesomeness, and creativity.

Behind the Suds

My soaps are made with olive, coconut, castor, and sustainable palm oils and are enriched with shea and cocoa butters. They are scented only with plant-based essential oils, don't include harsh detergents that a lot of commercial soaps contain, and are truly art you can bathe with!

Choosing the oils that go into my soap first hand ensures the great quality of ingredients. The oil base for my recipe is a custom blend that I formulated with my oils of choice for their specific beneficial properties (i.e. moisture, lather, and hardness for a long-lasting bar.)

Why did I start Up in Suds?

My inspiration to create Up in Suds began at Pittsburgh farmers’ markets. The sense of community, wholesomeness and healthiness there was something I wanted to remain a part of. My mom sold her soap at the Citiparks markets in 2013, and I have been hooked on soapmaking ever since. I fell in love with how soapmaking is not only a creative outlet, but the result is a practical and quality product that everyone can use!

About Me

I’ve always been a creative type who feels the most content when making something. I was raised by my mom and aunt who are definite hippies- with their influence, I grew up playing guitar, drawing, doing crafts, and learning soapmaking. The hippie theme is something I wanted to incorporate into Up in Suds because I’ve definitely got some hippie instilled in me. "Up in Suds" might have been coined by my mom who miiiight be a Cheech and Chong fan, and you may notice that some of my soap names use this theme.

Whether or not we agree on everything hippie- patchouli, tye dye, fringed vests, lava lamps, incense etc. I think at the very least, we can all agree on the mantra of peace and love✌🏻☮️💕
