Crafting Natural Soaps and Advocating for Skin Care with Jesse James Soaps

Growing up in Northern Minnesota, the dermatologist was a regular spot for Jesse James as he was faced with excessive dry skin, obsessive/compulsive hand washing, and warts. Trying to find the best solution, his mother experimented with natural ingredients and deer fat she sourced from local hunters. Initially embarrassed by the unconventional soaps, Jesse grew to appreciate the benefits over time and became interested in how he could share these positive impacts with others.

In college, Jesse realized his skin fared better with his mother’s soaps compared to commercial products which sparked his passion for soap making. This interest followed him to Colorado where he started his teaching career along with multiple side gigs to help him get by. Feeling overwhelmed by juggling multiple jobs, he needed some sort of creative outlet, which is where Jesse James Soaps was born! This hobby blossomed into a business allowing him to share his creations at local farmers markets and community events.

Jesse focuses on creating high-quality, natural soaps and fostering community connections. His soaps reflect his values and experiences, using organic olive and coconut oils and natural colorants like coffees and teas. Each ingredient has a specific purpose in its final form.  When you pick up a bar, the shades, swirls, textures, all that you see, are the natural expressions of the raw, Earth-made materials that marry to create what you hold in your hand. Jesse aims to encourage all to care for their skin and promote self-care through his products.
