Katie Adams of Thumbprint Soaps
Meet Katie Adams, the owner and product developer at Thumbprint Soaps.
Based out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Thumbprint Soaps gets their name from the idea that like snowflakes and fingerprints, no two bars of soap are exactly the same.
While they do provide a wide variety of products such as body lotion, face and body oil, and beard products, we're currently loving all of their soaps.
Why Choose Thumbprint Soaps
These handmade soaps are old fashioned lye soaps made with modern fragrances and colors.
Made from scratch in small batches, Thumbprint Soaps feature high quality ingredients like aloe vera, cocoa butter, and mango butter.
They're free from palm oil, detergents, parabens, and phthalates which will leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed without it feeling dry, irritated, or covered in a weird film.
Alongside using the best ingredients, Thumbprint Soaps also focuses on sustainability.
Give the Gift of Soap
It's never too early to start thinking about the holiday season.
These colorful and attractive soaps would make for a great stocking stuffer or just a nice "no reason" gift to surprise a special someone.
Included within their wide variety of scents are also special collection packs.
One that we're excited to share is the Cedar Rapids Smells collection.
Yes, sometimes Cedar Rapids gets a bad rep for being the "City of 5 Smells" but trust us when we say that these three take the best smells the city has to offer and turns them into a lathery, delightful soap.
Stop by today to take a look at everything they have to offer.
