When Dwight and Marilee Johnson’s young son began battling severe eczema, they faced the agonizing challenge of watching him suffer through constant discomfort. They tried everything—oatmeal baths, expensive creams, dermatologist visits, and even harsh chemical treatments—but nothing worked. Instead of losing hope, the Johnsons began to ask a simple but profound question: “What are we putting on his skin?”
This question would ignite a journey of discovery and lead to the creation of Bend Soap Co., a family-run business committed to natural, effective skincare solutions. Today, Bend Soap Co. is a beacon of hope for people seeking relief from skin conditions and a brand synonymous with integrity and purity.
The Turning Point: Rethinking Skincare
Through exhaustive research, the Johnsons discovered that the commercial soaps and skincare products they were using were full of synthetic chemicals, harsh detergents, and toxins that were exacerbating their son’s condition. The long lists of ingredients—many unpronounceable and harmful—were alarming. The couple quickly realized the need to eliminate these harmful products from their home.
Their search for natural alternatives in stores was equally disheartening. Despite labels touting “natural” and “organic” claims, many products still contained questionable ingredients. Disillusioned but determined, Dwight turned his attention to a resource close to home: the goats on their farm.
A Farm-Fresh Solution
Goat milk had long been a part of the Johnson family’s diet, prized for its rich nutrients and gentle properties. Dwight began exploring how goat milk could be used in skincare. He discovered that goat milk, when turned into soap, could nourish the skin with essential vitamins and minerals, while gently exfoliating and soothing irritation.
With this newfound knowledge, Dwight crafted the first bar of goat milk soap in their farmhouse kitchen. Using only a handful of natural, wholesome ingredients—including fresh goat milk and nutrient-rich oils—he created a product that was simple, pure, and effective. After just a few baths with the handcrafted soap, their son’s eczema dramatically improved. The painful redness and itching disappeared, and his skin began to heal.
Sharing the Magic of Goat Milk Soap
What started as a personal solution quickly became a mission to help others. The Johnsons began sharing their goat milk soap with friends, family, and neighbors. The feedback was overwhelming—people loved the soap, not just for its effectiveness in soothing eczema but also for how soft, clean, and nourished their skin felt.
As demand grew, the Johnsons transformed their small-scale soap-making operation into Bend Soap Co. They started attending farmers’ markets and craft shows, where they shared their story and offered products that customers could trust.
Staying True to Their Mission
Bend Soap Co. has come a long way since those early days on the farm. Today, the company offers an extensive range of all-natural skincare products, including goat milk lotions, salves, lip butters, and milk baths. Despite their growth, the Johnsons have stayed true to their mission: to provide pure, effective products made with clean, safe ingredients.
Every product is handcrafted with the same commitment to quality that defined their first batch of soap. Bend Soap Co. uses only the finest natural ingredients, including their signature farm-fresh goat milk, ensuring that what goes on your skin is not only safe but beneficial.
