About Us

Our Story:  Dirty Man Soap Co. began as part of our family's personal journey to eliminate chemical laden products from our home.  Soap making had always appealed to me (Hannah) and was on my 'some day' list.  Our journey to better health, coupled with some encouragement from a soap making friend, moved soap making onto the front burner, quite literally.  I began researching soap making processes, ingredients and everything in between.  I made my first batch of soap in 2012 and loved it!  However, I quickly realized that I would either have to limit my creativity drastically or begin selling some of my soap - even dirt mongers like us can only use so much soap!  

Everyone we had given soap to had loved it and encouraged us to begin selling it.  Our entrepreneurial spirits kicked in, Ryan's creativity flared up (yep, he's the inspiration for the name and it was also his idea - "If it'll clean me, it'll clean anyone!"), and we applied for a business license in spring of 2014.  

We began selling local beer soaps in June of 2014 and things have continued to grow from there.  A combination of customer requests and our own needs led us to add more than just soaps to our product line.  As we added new products, our goals remained the same: produce high quality, good value products with the most natural ingredients and minimal packaging possible.  Oh yeah, and have fun doing it!  We'd like to think we are successfully meeting those goals and hope you agree.  

In October of 2021, Ryan left his prior employment to fulfill our dream of growing this business together with our children.  What an adventure!  Thank you for being a part of our journey, we appreciate each and every one of you! 

From our family to yours, we wish you good health and high spirits!.
