It all started in 2002 when a girl (that would be me - Heather) couldn’t knit. I was working on the Supercross circuit (yes, dirt bikes) & traveling across the country pretty much every week. I was in desperate need of a creative outlet... a hobby.
I taught myself to knit, but couldn’t knit anything other than squares & rectangles. I for one do love to accessorize, but a girl only needs so many scarves. Enter soapmaking. I took a class with my ever so crafty mom (she can do just about anything that has anything to do with crafting). We stood side by side melting, mixing & stirring our soap. The next day when we uncovered our concoctions, my soap was perfect (ironically enough, my mom’s soap didn’t turn out) - I was hooked.
When you make soap, you make pounds at a time. So to justify to my husband why I had to make more soap I gave it away to anyone who would take it. As I was formulating recipes and experimenting with ingredients, I was perfecting my products. The people who I once had to beg to take products off my hands started making requests and insisting on paying for them.
This is when my husband and I looked at each other & thought we might just have something here. Since we founded Rinse Bath & Body Co. in 2003, our operation has quickly developed into a popular brand of products being featured in many stores & spas across the country.
