About May Natural Soaps
Hello, I’m Amanda May — the hands and heart behind May Natural Soaps.
For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about natural remedies and the way thoughtfully chosen ingredients can support healthy-looking skin. That passion became deeply personal when I began struggling with psoriasis. Like many people, I started paying closer attention to the products I was using every day and searching for skincare made with ingredients I could understand and trust. As I learned more, I began noticing how people around me were also struggling with sensitive skin and reactions to ingredients commonly found in store-bought products. Friends, family, and customers often shared stories of dryness, irritation, or difficulty finding products that were gentle enough for their skin. Those conversations strengthen my desire to create handcrafted skincare made with thoughtfully chosen ingredients that people could feel confident using.
Too often, I found products filled with long ingredient lists and unnecessary additives that left me wondering what I was really putting on my skin. That experience changed the way I though about skincare and led me to a simple belief:
What we Put on Our Skin Matters.
As I continued learning about the value of natural ingredients, I came across a verse that deeply resonated with me from and essential oil book that was gifted to me:
"The Lord created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not loathe them" -Sirach ( Ecclesiasticus) 38:4.
To me, this verse is a beautiful reminder that God has provided incredible resources through His creation.nIt inspires me to appreciate the natural ingredients He has placed on this earth and to thoughtfully choose those ingredients as I create every product at May Natural Soaps.
It was during this season that I felt the Lord gently leading me to begin making soap. What started as a simple act of obedience soon became something much greater, a calling to create handcrafted natural skincare that could bless others who were searching for simple, nourishing products made with ingredients they could recognize and trust.
Today, every product at May Natural Soaps is handcrafted in small batches in Indiana using thoughtfully chosen ingredients, including nourishing oils, grass-fed beef tallow, goat milk, coconut milk, botanical ingredients, clays, and pure essential oils. Every recipe is carefully developed to gently cleanse, nourish, and care for your skin while giving you confidence in the ingredients you use everyday.
What Makes May Natural Soaps Different?
I believe healthy skin starts with thoughtfully chosen ingredients. That's why I am committed to:
- Handcrafting every product in small batches
- Using thoughtfully chosen, high-quality ingredients
- Scenting products with pure essential oils
- Avoiding synthetic fragrance oils, and unnecessary additives
- Educating customers about the ingredients they use everyday
- Creating products with integrity, care, and purpose
More than anything, I want every customer to know exactly what they are putting on their skin and why those ingredients were chosen.
My mission is rooted in both my faith and my passion for natural skincare. Every bar of soap, face cream, lip balm, and body care product is made with gratitude, prayer, and a desire to serve others with excellence.
As scripture reminds us :
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2
Thank you for taking the time to learn my story and for supporting May Natural Soaps. Whether you're searching for a nourishing bar of soap, gentle skincare, or simply want to better understand the ingredients you use everyday. I am honored to be part of your journey.
My hope is that every product reflects the care, integrity, and purpose with which it was created.
