Handcrafted soaps from Mountain Trail Soap Co<\/p><\/div>\n

By Natasha Anderson<\/p>\n

Though Mountain Trail Soap Company is a couple months shy of its first anniversary, owner Robert Mangum has been making soaps by hand for more than 20 years. He began crafting them when his sons were young and experiencing dry, irritated skin.<\/p>\n

Mangum\u2019s research led him to develop a formulation using oatmeal, honey and goat\u2019s milk that put an end to most of their skin issues. Now, his formula is the basis for a variety of soaps that may also include olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil and essential oils to create bar soaps, body butters, sugar and salt scrubs, face scrubs and other items.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers tell me that once they\u2019ve used my products, they\u2019re hooked,\u201d says Mangum. \u201cThey absolutely love how their skin feels and looks and they also love the assortment of scents and fragrances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mangum uses the cold-process method, a very old soap-making technique. Once mixed, the soaps are poured into handmade molds, insulated for two days, removed from the molds, cut into bars and cured for four weeks. Best-selling soaps include unscented oatmeal, goat\u2019s milk and honey, lemongrass with oatmeal, bourbon tobacco and pinecone lime. New items coming soon include iced pineapple with tangerine soap and peppermint lip balm.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to beautiful soaps and scrubs, visitors can expect a warm welcome and a great sense of humor from Robert Mangum,\u201d says loyal customer Matt Devlin. \u201cThe past two years have challenged our way of living, but his shop is just the place for a friendly reminder of the value of community and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n
