I create small-batch soaps with the old fashioned lye and oils method. This method creates pure soap, free from detergents and fillers unlike their commercial soap counterparts.

Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the creator of The Owls Loft Apothecary! I grew up in the Pennsylvania wilds and I have a massive love for art and nature. Goods created by hand are something that are slowly being lost to time... and I believe that in our time on this earth we should be sharing and indulging in each others crafts. -Everything you see in my shop (aside from my creamy hand-poured glycerin soaps) has been created by me from start to finish. Each recipe carefully crafted with you, and your skin, in mind.
Natural vs Synthetic:
Creating all natural, non-synthetic products is difficult anymore seeing how so many things are lab created, or artificially derived. My heart is with essential oils, dried botanicals, and natural colorants....But l also enjoy working with fragrance oils and mica colorants as well -So I decided to offer both to cater to either taste!
I strive to do better...
