BA BUILDZ LLC Brings Artisan Soap to the Forefront, Crafted with Care in Mount Angel, Oregon

BA BUILDZ LLC, a small but mighty company based in Mount Angel, Oregon (575 N Sheridan St, 97362-9690, and reachable at 903-918-3560), isn’t your typical soap maker. They’re quietly building a reputation for incredibly handcrafted soaps that go beyond just getting you clean – they’re about the experience. Forget mass-produced, cookie-cutter bars; BA BUILDZ focuses on small-batch, artisan soaps, made with a real passion for quality and natural ingredients. We recently had a chance to chat with the team at BA BUILDZ and learn about what makes their soaps so special. It’s clear this isn’t just a business; it’s a labor of love. They started, frankly, because they were frustrated with what was in most commercially available soaps. “You read the labels,” explains a company representative, “and it’s full of things you can’t even pronounce! We wanted something simple, natural, and good for your skin.” And that's exactly what they deliver. BA BUILDZ soaps are made using the cold-process method, a technique that preserves the natural glycerin created during saponification. What does that mean for you? It means a milder, more moisturizing bar of soap. Unlike many commercial soaps that strip your skin of its natural oils, BA BUILDZ soaps leave you feeling clean and hydrated. What makes BA BUILDZ soaps different? It’s all in the details: Handcrafted with Care: Every bar is individually made and hand-cut. This isn’t a factory process; it’s an artisan’s touch. You can feel the difference. Each bar isn’t perfectly uniform – which is intentional. It’s a sign of genuine handmade quality. Natural Ingredients: BA BUILDZ prioritizes natural ingredients. They source high-quality oils, butters, and botanicals. Think olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter – ingredients known for their nourishing and moisturizing properties. They are very careful about what they put into their soap, and what they leave out. No harsh chemicals, no artificial fragrances, and no unnecessary additives. Unique Scents: Forget overpowering, synthetic fragrances. BA BUILDZ uses essential oils to create subtle, natural scents. They aren’t trying to mask anything; they’re enhancing the natural beauty of the ingredients. Current popular scents include Lavender & Chamomile (known for its calming properties), Citrus Burst (a refreshing and energizing blend), and Woodland Pine (bringing the scent of the forest to your shower). They also frequently experiment with seasonal scents, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Gentle on Skin: This is a big one. Many commercial soaps contain harsh detergents that can irritate and dry out your skin. BA BUILDZ soaps are formulated to be gentle and nourishing, even for sensitive skin types. They've had great feedback from customers with eczema and psoriasis. Sustainable Practices: BA BUILDZ is committed to sustainable practices. They carefully consider the environmental impact of their ingredients and packaging. They aim to minimize waste and use eco-friendly materials whenever possible. Beyond just cleaning, it’s about self-care: The team at BA BUILDZ views soap-making as more than just a business; it’s a form of self-care. “Taking a shower should be a relaxing and rejuvenating experience,” they explain. “And your soap should contribute to that. We want our soaps to be a small luxury that people can enjoy every day.” And that feeling extends to the packaging. Each bar is wrapped in simple, elegant packaging, reflecting the natural beauty of the product itself. It’s the kind of soap you’d be happy to display in your bathroom, or give as a thoughtful gift. What’s next for BA BUILDZ? The company is continuing to grow and expand its product line. They are planning to introduce new scents and formulations, based on customer feedback and seasonal ingredients. They are also exploring opportunities to partner with local businesses and retailers. “We’re a small company, but we’re passionate about what we do,” says the representative. “We want to share our love of natural, handcrafted soap with as many people as possible.” Where to find BA BUILDZ soaps: Currently, BA BUILDZ soaps are available online through their website (details available by contacting the company at 903-918-3560) and at select local markets and events in the Mount Angel, Oregon area. They encourage customers to follow them on social media (details available upon request) to stay up-to-date on new products and events. If you're looking for a soap that's gentle on your skin, good for the environment, and made with love, BA BUILDZ LLC is definitely worth checking out. It’s a refreshing change from the mass-produced soaps that dominate the market, and a testament to the power of handcrafted quality. They’re not just selling soap; they’re offering a little piece of self-care, one bar at a time. They believe in a simpler time, quality ingredients and a good honest product. And it shows in every bar they make. You'll notice the difference and so will your skin.
