Center Street Soap Co. is an environmentally and socially conscious artisanal handmade soap brand.
Every small batch of our cold process soap is made with incredible attention to detail, Paraben and Phthalate free fragrances, all-natural butters, oils, and essential oils.
One of the ways we work towards fulfilling our mission is by donating soap scraps from production to our partner, Eco-Soap Bank. Not only does that reduce our waste, but the scraps are sanitized and repurposed into bars of soap by disadvantaged women in developing nations, helping them earn an income and getting soap into critical areas that otherwise wouldn’t have access.
