Washing hands with a Lathre bar under running water

Our Story

Hi, I’m Chelsey — founder and maker of Lathre.

Lathre started in 2026 with a simple wish: to make everyday things slowly, by hand, and well. What began as one batch of soap became a real passion — reading about oils, adjusting recipes, and learning how much patience a good bar needs.

Everything we make is still made by hand, in small batches, from a short list of carefully chosen ingredients. Our bars use plant oils and butters and a little essential oil — nothing more than the bar needs. Then they rest on the curing rack for four to six weeks, until they’re firm and long-lasting.

Made slowly. Cured patiently. Made for the quiet moments of your day.

Crafted Slowly

Patience is part of how we make things. Our bars cure for weeks before they’re ready, and everything we make is given the time it needs. Made slowly. Cured patiently. Created with intention.

Simple Ingredients

A short list of carefully selected ingredients, chosen for how they work together rather than one by one. Nothing more than each piece needs.

Everyday Moments

Handcrafted for everyday care, turning a routine task into something calmer. A simple ritual to begin or end your day.
