My journey into soapmaking started in 2008 when my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Chemotherapy and radiation took a toll on her skin, and I was driven to create something natural and soothing to help.  That search led me down the rabbit hole of cold process soapmaking, where I discovered the artistry and calming nature of blending simple, quality ingredients into something so essential and beautiful.

What began as a way to help my sister blossomed into a passion.  I became fascinated by the chemistry behind soapmaking, experimenting with new ingredients and designs.  Today, I'm blessed to share my handcrafted soaps full-time.

Inspired by the vibrant soapmaking community and a lifelong connection to the Pacific Northwest, I'm committed to sustainability.  I source organic ingredients locally, avoid palm oil, and use recyclable or reused packaging.  From solid dish soap to shampoo and conditioner bars, Lora's Beauty offers plastic-free alternatives for everyday needs.

Handmade soap is simply better – for your skin, your health, and the environment.  Curious about the science?  My blog post on the chemistry of soapmaking (it's more interesting than it sounds!) explains it all.
