Our story

Drake & James Handcrafted creates luxurious, small-batch cold process soaps made with love and care from our home in Gig Harbor, Washington,  the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Our soaps feature rich, skin-loving, plant based milks and butters, and nourishing oils, all carefully blended to provide soothing, gentle care for every skin type.

The journey began in my kitchen years ago, when my son struggled with extreme eczema and I was desperately searching for a natural alternative to harsh creams and steroids. The process of creating these healing bars not only helped his skin but also sparked a passion for crafting high-quality soap. What started as a quest for a remedy quickly grew into a beautiful creative outlet, and Drake and James Handcrafted,  which carries the names of my sweet boys,  was born. 

 

Every bar tells a story of self-care, love, and dedication to creating products that are as kind to your skin as they are to the planet. Our ingredients are always palm oil-free and thoughtfully selected to ensure they’re as gentle on the environment as they are on your skin. Join us on our journey to make skincare not only luxurious but sustainably crafted, natural, and truly effective.
