About - Meet the Maker
Hi, I am Lesley Johnson and I live in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin. I started Terra Flora Naturals to provide local consumers with another choice for luxurious handmade soap, made the old-fashioned way. The process to make my soaps is referred to as cold process and involves blending beautiful, high-quality oils such as olive, coconut, sunflower, avocado, and shea butter with sodium hydroxide (lye) to create a beautiful, natural soap you can use at the sink and in the shower/bath. While blended, the oils are scented with essential oils and colored with natural colorants such as French green clay, rose clay, indigo powder, and orange essential oil. In some soaps, locally-harvested honey is used. The result is a moisturizing soap that will not strip your skin of its precious natural oils. Furthermore, you are not left with an empty plastic bottle that will either be thrown into a landfill or require extra resources to recycle. Bonus!
I am also excited to be able to share products with consumers through this online site. If there is a specific type of soap or special scent you would like made, please send me an email at lesleyajohnson@terrafloranaturals.com
