About Us

Hi, I'm Shelly. I make the soap and run the business end of Pretty Bird Soapery. I'm also Ellie's mom! :) Before I became a soapmaker and stay at home mom, I taught kindergarten for nine years.

• Favorite soap scent: Mine is definitely our Spearmint. To me, it smells just like the gum.  
• Best Soap making Memory: In the early days of Pretty Bird Soapery, I had so much fun making soap with my good friend Ashley. We had the best time playing with fragrances and different ingredients while our little ones played around us. 
• Words of Wisdom: Always do your best and be kind. Simple, but something my parents always told me.

Pretty Bird Soapery was born twenty years ago when Shelly Scott began searching for a soap that was gentle enough to use on her baby boy, who had developed sensitivities to the baby products she had been using.  Most commercially made cleansers are actually detergents that strip the natural oils along with the dirt from your skin. Shelly was determined to know exactly what ingredients she was using on that precious boy's skin. Thus, began her search for products that were not only good for your skin, but for the environment, too. Along with a friend, she took a soap making class and a passion was ignited. Twenty years later, she is just as inspired to find and use the finest ingredients to make a product that is gentle and nourishing for anyone's skin.

At Pretty Bird Soapery, we believe that your skin deserves the very best. Which is why our soap is handcrafted in small batches from skin-loving olive oil and only the finest essential and fragrance oils available.

A well-made natural soap gently cleans the dirt while leaving the natural oils, thereby leaving your skin feeling soft and clean, not dry and stripped.

Give us try and you'll be glad you put Pretty Bird bubbles in your tub!

Hi, I'm Ellie. I run the company website and work in product research and development. I have grown up in the world of soap and have just recently begun to help my mum with her company.

• Favorite Soap Scent: I like musky and fruity scents, like bay lime and orange.
• Best Soap-making Memory: When I was little, my mum and I would make melt-and-pour soaps in crazy molds like spaceships and dinosaurs. We would put little toys in them and add glitter and fun smells.
• Words of Wisdom: If you have a passion, don't be afraid to go all-out. Going about your life without exploring your passions is existing, not living.
