Soapy Jones, founder of Left Hand Soap Company, is on the Localist this week to dive into the world of natural, locally crafted soap and self care products. Soapy (yes, that’s her real legal name!) began making soap for gifts as a college grad, and it quickly turned into a business. Soapy describes moving the business during a pandemic, and how their product focus has shifted in the last year and a half. After 20+ years in the business, Soapy tells us how she stays interested, as well as how she deals with copycats.
