WHAT WE DO. HOW WE DO IT.

At Levillese Soap Works, our products are made with fun, joy and a not-so-secret ingredient: inspiration. We start with 2 important questions in your scent curation experience: how do you want to smell? How do you want to feel? (Bonus points: what moment do you want to create?)

At Levillese Soap Works, the ingredients are minimal, but the boost in self-care is not. We prioritize quality ingredients that don't overwhelm you or complicate how you take care of yourself. We do the research so you can do the real work of self-care.

At Levillese Soap Works, it's our pleasure to help you prioritize yourself. Whether it's our silky, fragrant oils, the luxurious bubbles of our soaps or the richness of our body custards, each product is crafted to provide a sensory experience that restores and renews.

the story of levillese.

Remember pandemic hobbies? Folks were learning to bake bread. Tend to new monstera plants. Make clay jewelry. Garden. Crochet. Do nails. Raise chickens. And so on. We shared on Twitter, liked videos and pics on IG, and encouraged each other to keep going with these new ways of settling our nervous systems for prolonged periods inside the house to keep ourselves safe and maintain a hold on our sanity.

Me? In 2021, I got curious about tailor-made DIY soaps, butters and oils for my two small nephews to help with their skin issues. That grew into making products for family and friends with a dual approach: have fun with the making, be dead serious about the research.

In these four years, I used the time wisely, despite an ongoing pandemic. Four years of ongoing education about skincare. Four years' worth of endless scent combinations and creative inspiration in my little scent bible notebook (seriously, it's some heat in there!). Four years of space and time to understand how to be the most intentional and ethical about being a new business owner. I've enjoyed the process and I must say: the process has also enjoyed me.

In 2025, after watching an untold number of YouTube soap making and skincare videos, and understanding how I wanted my brand and business to reflect intentionality, ethics and quality, I'm thrilled to finally open my shop, named for my parents. I welcome you to the journey.

There are no secrets here. My products feel good because I feel good when I make them. If my joy and creativity come through in your self-care experience, then I've accomplished what I came to do. :-)

Thank you for your support!

With suds,
