“Talking one day with a friend who had an autoimmune disease got Nece to thinking about the chemicals found in commercial products and how they affect the human body. Soon after that conversation she began experimenting with chemical-free soap.”

“And now, eight years later, her products include 11 types of 5-ounce soap bars ranging from Peppermint Pumice to Luscious Lavender, Lemongrass and Man Bar (for men, but women like it, too). The soaps are not, by the way, for shrinking violets.
