Our Ingredients
At Glenn Avenue Soap Company, we carefully select our ingredients with both our customers and the environment in mind. Each ingredient is chosen not only for its effectiveness and contribution to a superior customer experience but also for its origin and sustainability.
We are committed to using simple, plant-based ingredients and essential oils that are beneficial for your skin and kind to the planet. Our products feature natural and organic components, ensuring they are free from synthetic fragrances, phthalates, sulfates, and parabens. We also uphold a cruelty-free stance, never testing on animals.
Feel confident in choosing our products, knowing that they are crafted with respect for both your well-being and the environment.
How They Work
Our products focus on moisture and skin health. The skin, the body's largest organ, has a natural lipid barrier that retains moisture and keeps environmental toxins out. When the skin dries out, this barrier breaks down, resulting in dryness, irritation, and more noticeable wrinkles.
Natural soaps and skin care products benefit all skin layers. They gently cleanse and hydrate the surface, support elasticity and firmness in the middle layer, and boost overall resilience and repair in the deeper layers. This comprehensive approach ensures balanced, healthy skin from the outermost layer to the deepest. Our formulations use highly moisturizing oils that repair the skin barrier and maintain its integrity and appearance.
Our Scents
sophisticated essential oil blends
Our Essential Oil blends are expertly crafted from the highest quality essential oils and botanical extracts, selected for their therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Each blend offers subtle, sophisticated scents perfectly balanced to enhance your well-being. Whether you seek to uplift your spirit or calm your mind, our natural aromatherapy delivers a powerful sensory experience with an amazing fragrance.
Our Process
crafted by hand in small batches
For over a decade, Glenn Avenue Soap Company has been dedicated to crafting exceptional natural soaps and skincare products at our craft soaphouse in Columbus, Ohio. We pride ourselves on employing small-batch production to guarantee the highest standards of quality and consistency in every product.
By prioritizing artisanal practices, we ensure that every item not only meets but exceeds our customers' expectations, embodying our passion for creating superior skincare.
using traditional methods
In this modern world, saponification—the traditional process of making soap that transforms oils and lye into rich, effective soap and glycerin—is a cornerstone of quality craftsmanship.
While the principles of saponification remain unchanged, we honor this age-old technique by incorporating modern insights to enhance the benefits of natural ingredients. This fusion of old and new ensures that our soaps not only adhere to time-honored standards but also meet today's high expectations for performance and luxury.
with support from modern scientific data
At Glenn Avenue Soap Company, every product is meticulously formulated by our co-founder, Dr. Sandra Metzler.
With her extensive background in biomedical engineering and expertise in chemistry and aromatherapy, Dr. Metzler creates formulations made from simple, natural ingredients that deliver exceptional results and a luxurious experience.
Our Story
It all started in our home on Glenn Avenue....
We began in 2009, like many other companies, out of necessity. Our co-founder, Dr. Sandra Metzler, wanted healthy and effective skincare products for her family. Frustrated by the synthetic detergents, artificial fragrances, preservatives, and other unhealthy ingredients in many products, she used her background in biomedical engineering, chemistry, and aromatherapy to start making soap in her kitchen on Glenn Avenue in Grandview Heights, Ohio.
In 2013, Sandra's partner Phil, also an engineer, decided to turn their soap-making hobby into a full-fledged business. A year later, they moved the soap lab from their living room to our current facility at 1166 W 5th Ave, which boasts 4,200 square feet of beautiful retail and workshop space. Here, customers can browse and sample products, learn about natural skincare, and see how real soap is made.
We continue to expand our line of natural soap and skincare products, all crafted by hand in small batches using traditional methods and supported by modern scientific data.
