Vellum St Soap Company

I set an example. That’s all anyone can do.

Everyone has an opinion & everyone thinks that theirs is right. For almost every opinion, cherry picked research can be found to back it up. We all have cognitive biases & we choose our facts, generally, based on them. We gravitate towards people who tend to hold those same opinions, further strengthening the echo chambers of our beliefs & reinforcing their righteousness.

When I started Vellum Street, the goal to make a gentle, synthetic free soap to treat my skin issues (stemming from a 20+ year auto immune condition, misdiagnosed by specialists) using kitchen scraps from my bakery, I didn’t have money, or even an actual business, in mind. I was doing it for myself & friends also suffering. I was doing it to try & be less wasteful. Because of this, I have always based my decisions for Vellum Street on the best ones I could make for healthy skin & a healthy environment (which are intrinsically intertwined) & that has brought so many wonderful folks into the workings of this little biz thats now my full time gig. For that, I’m grateful for the like-attracts-like effect.

When VS started, 100% of the glass packaging we used came through our relationship with & their nonprofit . As we’ve grown, that number sits now at about 60-70%, as we’ve needed to supplement with some newly purchased glass from the amazing . We are so lucky to partner with BU, allowing us to use glass “trash” to its full potential, giving us clean & hardy containers that won’t leech into our products like plastics can, that can be used again & again & again, cutting the need for shipping even more heavy glass packaging from places outside our immediate community. Contrary to what you might think, using waste items can often be way more expensive than purchasing new due to the time it takes to source, collect, clean, & prepare them!

While the bulk of the work to maintain homeostasis in the environment certainly rests upon the massive corporations of the world, it doesn’t hurt for us little guys to be thoughtful in our practices as well & there’s no reason we can’t have some fun w

No offense to our pals at who work hard to make the most delicious of donuts 🛻💨🍩

From last weeks heatwave 🥵

For my philosophy nerds - Is the misplacement of soap on an unintended surface considered clean or dirty?? 🤔🧼

Anywho, make sure to stay clean, amigos. Pits, t**s, & slits at the minimum, k?

Lips, hands, face, or ass, tallow is great for skin when it’s been fed grass!🐮💋☀️

Facts of life, y’all - we use real, unadulterated ingredients, without fillers, stabilizers, or preservatives, and our products reflect that 🤷🏻‍♀️

When it’s hot, they melt. When it’s cold, they harden.

We don’t use bleached tallow, so our spring harvested tallow smells more pungent and beefy than winter harvested - that’s due to a diet of fresh green grass vs hay (and yes, both fresh grass fed AND hay -aka dried grass- are considered grass fed!)!

If you’re used to and love ultra processed skin care that’s the exact same jar after jar, season after season, year after year, we may not be the brand for you, moochacho.

Were use fresh ingredients, minimally processed, from independent local farms, from individual animals.

We’re not watered down, homogenized, and stripped of all the goodness present in fresh, whole ingredients.

We’re mootique not boutique & damn proud of it 🐮💋

Love you, amigos. Stay clean 🧼 xox

“You know me. It’s my duty to please that b***y.”— Samuel L. Jackson as Shaft

Its true! And we did it for YOU!!

We do NOT recommend shipping our best selling, skin loving, ultra moisturizing fat marshmallow whipped tallow skin fluff in the summertime (that bad boy needs to stay cool, and shipping when its over 70 degrees is the opposite of staying cool).

But as the man says, it IS our duty to please that b***y, so we recommend our OG Vellum stan, a formulation we CAN ship successfully when the asphalt is steaming - our non whipped Tallow & Beeswax Balms!

Available in fat marshmallow and ROYGBVB scents, this all purpose, solid lotion balm is a great choice for what ails ya, at least as far as your skin is concerned (and I’d venture to say your olfactory system too 😉). Works great as a beard balm or to help tame fly away on that mane as well.

Our 3 oz jars are now only $22, while our 4 oz upcycled oui jars (fm only) are $28.

This is all made possible because of the purchasing power of YOU! The more y’all buy, the bigger bulk glassware & lid orders we can place, giving us better pricing, which we pass along to you!

If you’ve placed an order this month already for these, shoot us an email and we’ll hook ya up with a credit for the price difference, wholesale accounts too! (Please include your order number so I can find you!)

Moochas Grassias, amigos! Your dollars really do make a difference, and don’t you forget it🐮💋 xox
