The Story

Sometimes a business begins with a simple question. For Mee Maw’s Soaps and Stuff, it was how to live a little healthier. After an autoimmune diagnosis, the founders set out to reduce artifi cial and chemical-based products at home, starting with handmade soaps and body care products and testing what worked best. What began as a personal shift, supported by friends and family, grew into a thoughtfully built business rooted in care. Today, Mee Maw’s offers a range of small-batch products, including coldprocessed soaps, body butters, sugar scrubs, tallow face creams, lotion sticks, deodorants, and bath essentials. Each item is made without preservatives, focusing on simple, natural ingredients and consistent quality across every batch. With an emphasis on keeping healthier options accessible, the brand continues to grow in local shops and studios while building lasting relationships within the community, offering practical, everyday ways to care for yourself, naturally.
