Magnolia Soaps and Bath Co.

Magnolia Soap and Bath Co was born out of desire to find plant-based soap products for my daughter’s sensitive skin in 2016. My journey led me to discover that most soaps are closer to detergents than traditional soap, and they often cause dryness and skin irritation. At Magnolia Soap, we believe beauty doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health. We use only domestically sourced, naturally grown ingredients in every recipe to give you the best experience. We’re proud to have over 37 stores, with new ones opening every month. Each store is family-owned and operated, and we offer franchise opportunities. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to plant-based beauty with Magnolia Soap and Bath Co!. For more information, please call 715-298-1604. Visit them on Facebook
