Chronically Clean believes that your bath and body time (pamper time) should make you feel good, be fun, and be healthy for you. We carefully design fun themes for each of our soaps and change them with each season. While anyone can use our products, we consciously create items that are geared to people who must avoid chemicals because they’ve had cancer, Lyme, any other chronic illness, or have reactions to environmental things that no one has heard of. We’ve discovered that everybody has something complicated when it comes to their health. While we can’t cure anybody, we can sure give you safe and fun products to treat yourself with. It’s almost impossible to find cute and fun items at the store that aren’t chock full of chemicals. Basically, our whimsical products are CLEAN so you can stay clean.”
Tia Blacketer, Sugar Pepper Soaps (Soap or body care products)
“My name is Tia and I have been making homemade goat milk soap since 2015. I started my business after buying goat milk soap at a local farmers market and falling in love with the softness it left my skin feeling. After much research, I decided to buy dairy goats, breed them, and get my own milk so I could make my own soap. Since I went live with my business, I endured many obstacles and setbacks, but because this is my passion, I've pushed through and here I am today! All of my recipes for my products are my own, created through research and trial and error. Many people ask me what is so special about goat milk soap as opposed to a regular bar of soap you might buy at a retail store. The answer is this... goat milk is very similar to our own skin's PH and regular use will help minimize the symptoms of sensitive skin issues such as dryness, itchiness, eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea. I do warn people though that once you start using goat milk soap, don't expect to go back to your old soap because you will fall in love with it too!”
Barbara Bibbs, Smart Cookie Body Care (Soap or body care products)
