From the founder & formulator
Why Leonica created this soap.
“I wanted to create an everyday cleanser for people who love their soap but wish their skin felt more comfortable after washing. Growing up in Jamaica, I watched grandmothers rub ripe banana peel onto their faces. When I asked why, their answer was simple: it helped soften their skin.
Those childhood memories stayed with me. Years later, my education in food science gave me a new way to explore the botanicals I grew up with.”
Leonica Douglas

The inspiration behind the formulation
Thyme was more than a seasoning.
Leonica also remembers thyme leaves frozen in ice cubes and rubbed onto the skin, especially during breakouts.
Those memories, together with her education in food science, inspired the formulation of The Supple Skin Facial Soap.
Her goal was to bring that knowledge and care into an everyday cleansing ritual, with skin comfort at its heart.
