Mamaw Stella’s Lye Soap

Our Mamaw Stella’s Lye Soap is a tribute to the old-fashioned bars once found in every Appalachian home. For generations, families rendered pork fat into lard and mixed it with lye and water to create simple, hardworking soap. Though every handmade soap requires lye in the process, once cured, no lye remains, just a pure, gentle bar. We’ve carried on that tradition with Stella’s recipe, crafting each batch from scratch with the same time-honored method. The result is a firm, long-lasting soap with a rich, creamy lather that cleanses without harshness. Rooted in heritage and made with care, Mamaw Stella’s Lye Soap brings back the simplicity of the past, natural, dependable, and made to be used from head to toe.
