About Old Springfield Soap
Welcome to Old Springfield Soap, where every bar tells a story of craftsmanship, community, and clean living. Nestled in the heart of Illinois, we blend tradition with innovation to create soaps that nourish your skin and your soul.
Our Heritage
For over a decade, our small workshop has been the hometown haven for soap lovers. We draw inspiration from the rolling fields and historic charm of Springfield, weaving local lore into each artisanal batch. Our name honors the spirit of Old Springfield—simple, genuine, and rooted in quality.
Our Philosophy
We believe skincare should feel like a moment of self-care, not a chore. Every ingredient has purpose, every scent evokes memory, and every shape invites curiosity. We craft with intention, ensuring each bar supports your natural beauty and daily ritual.
Handcrafted, Heartful Process
Our soaps are made by hand in small batches so we can perfect every swirl and scent. The process involves:
Saponification at carefully controlled temperatures
Gentle stirring by our skilled artisans
48–72 hours of curing for lasting lather and longevity
Hand-cutting and inspection to guarantee uniform quality
Pure, Local Ingredients
We source the finest ingredients from trusted local growers and ethical suppliers:
Cold-pressed olive oil and coconut oil for creamy lather
Shea butter and cocoa butter for deep hydration
Essential oils from nearby farms for authentic, uplifting scents
Natural clays and botanicals for color, texture, and skin benefits
Commitment to Community & Sustainability
Old Springfield Soap is more than a soapmaker—we are neighbors and stewards of the land. We:
Use 100% recyclable packaging and refill options
Partner with local charities to support clean water initiatives
Limit our carbon footprint by manufacturing close to home
Reinvest in community events and educational workshops
