meet: Heather Swanepoel. 
Creator of
Rinse Bath & Body

   
 

  Rinse Soap was founded in 2003 only after a simple hobby turned into something HUGE! Our founder and head formulator, Heather, was in desperate need of a creative outlet and had always loved to be pampered, so it made perfect sense for her to try her hand at soapmaking. After a lot of research and only a few batches, she was hooked. The more knowledge she gained about oils, butters, herbs, essential oils and other additives, she found herself with more soap on her hands than she could handle. Thank goodness for friends, family and co-workers who were very willing to help her unload her wares.

You would think this might be the end of her conundrum (she did too), but it was just the beginning. Once her soaps were in the hands of others, they started to ask her for more. "My mother would love this!", they would say while asking her for gift baskets. There was no turning the pleading crowd down, so she did what any other soapmaking-addicted girl would do: she made soap (and lots of it), gift baskets and a slew of other products that most could only dream of.
