Are you looking for a great gift idea for the holiday season? Do you have friends or family who are looking for a creative or unique product? Look no further than the offerings from Vintage Soap and Bath in Tonganoxie.
Vintage Soap and Bath has been in operation since 2001, and in its current location since 2003. Lana Howe started out by producing goat milk soaps in her own home, using milk from her personal herd of 40 goats. Combining her love of crafting with her personal need for products for sensitive skin, she began producing soaps to sell at local craft shows. Her business grew quickly in that venue, allowing Lana to also start producing lotions and other bath products containing goat milk.
Why is goat’s milk so beneficial? Goat milk adds a creamy lather to the soaps and provides many vitamins to your skin including vitamins A, C, B1, B6 and E, not to mention how wonderfully moisturizing it is, especially in the winter time.
Currently, Vintage Soap and Bath sources the goat milk used in its soap and bath products from Screamin’ Oaks Farm, also located in Tonganoxie. Lana has a retail location that carries soaps, handmade candles, gift baskets and a variety of country home décor. If you visit Vintage Soap and Bath during the holiday season, you will find it decorated with Christmas trees adorned with vintage ornaments.
Vintage Soap and Bath is a family owned business. Lana and her son work in the store and make all of the soap and bath products. Tours are offered, allowing the public to watch the Howe’s making soap. In addition children can experience soap making first hand through a craft project designed especially for them.
