About Us

Simon's Soapbox is an artisinal soap company that is committed to making high-quality soaps with carefully chosen ingredients such as shea butter, olive oil, and essential oils.

Our mission is to demonstrate the value of people with and without developmental disabilities working together.

In 2021, with the free time brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic, Simon (who has Down Syndrome) and his sister Caroline (who is unusually tall) decided to build a soap making business. This was something they could do together, not only to generate a little money, but to give Simon and sense of purpose and dignity.

Simon's Soapbox is a testament to the joyful possibilities of working together.

After learning soap-making techniques together, Simon experimented with the swirl design in the soap. Each bar has a unique swirl by Simon.
