Jami started making soap in 1999 after growing dissatisfied with the commercial soaps she was using. Today, Dancing Bee Farms makes its products in a soap studio in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

The soaps and body products are made from scratch with ingredients including olive oil, coconut oil, and essential oils. Herbs from the maker’s gardens also go into the products, along with honey. Each formula has its own ingredient list.

Consider a bar for the kitchen sink, the shower, or the spot where you wash up after working outside. Choose a scent you’ll enjoy using often, and check the particular formula if there are ingredients you avoid. Soap is an everyday purchase that can still have a person behind it.
