So I have to say this no pretenses boutique with the purpose of well being, clean, fresh, and sensuous skin more than exceeds expectations. The soaps are hand crafted, of generous proportions and smell fantastic! Just purchased the Valentine soap which smells like a combo of berries and roses and after I showered with it no longer had scaly winter skin. The soap master is now producing an expanded line of bath bombs I purchased the cucumber melon and Asia pear. The bombs are terrific fragrant but not over powering. This store stocks men’s grooming supplies by small makers, wonderful oils and even a shampoo bar which is great cause of the scent and no recycling. There are even candles with exotic scents. This is destination place in Portage Park and is great to buy thoughtful sexy soaps. Doesn’t soft supple skin say love more than boring roses and teddy bears?

Sam’s soaps are the BOMB! This little shop in Portage Park has everything you need to satisfy yourself as well as your friends and family. Take advantage of Unilocal check-in to get free bar of soap.

I love this little shop! I got the majority of my purchased Christmas presents from here this season, and they’re my general go to when I need to spoil someone. The quality of the soaps is really high, and you get interesting scents you don’t find elsewhere. My father in law loved the Evergreen soap, for example. He has started mixing solid lotions and I picked up a Cinnamon/Eucalyptus tin. SOGOOD! I do end up smelling like a stick of Big Red, but my dry winter skin just loves it. I think it was also available in Lavender. It’s a totally cute shop. The owner and his shop assistant that I’ve met have always been completely wonderful. And the product is really good. You won’t regret checking them out.

I met the owner before shifting to my house in the area. He gave me some insight about the neighborhood and voila we became friends and neighbors too. Sam is very enthusiastic and dedicated to his craft. He has a do or die mentality. He makes sure that his creations are made with love and undivided attention. He likes pleasing his customers and giving them the best experience they could have in his shop and with his products. We are glad that he is doing well and coming up with new stuff that everyone will enjoy everyday.

I met Sam at a holiday market last weekend. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the art of soap-making. And I was happy to stand and chat with him because his soaps smell SOGOOD! Cannot wait to stop in and see his shop. Highly recommended!

Hands down, one of the best shops in Portage Park! Sam, the owner makes all of the soaps and everything about the natural ingredients. I’ve bought so many teacher, hostess, holidays gifts here, it’ not even funny. Love the soaps and the other products he has complement his soap selection quite well.

I visited this store for the first time today and loved it. There’s a variety of specialty soaps, salt scrub, body butters, and other goodies. They sell a lotion bar that practically melts in your hand, but is so easy to carry in your purse or bag in a tin. I also received a free soap with a $ 10 purchase today, sweet! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, and makes most of the products himself. Everything in the store is all natural, its great! I will definitely be back for the shaving soap and brush for my hubby:) This is a great store to find something distinctly different for anyone on your Christmas list, or any other time of year.

Super cute inside! Feels like I’m in a shop in Lincoln Park — lots of charm and character. Love buying local — great artisan soaps, bath bombs, salts and tons of other stuff. It’s like a hidden little gem in my neighborhood! I am soooooo glad that we are getting more and more businesses like this right where I live!

I really like this store! I only bought a few soaps, but I am ready to go back and try some of the body scrubs and lotions. They have lots of great smelling bath bombs too! The owner is very friendly. I would much rather support this local store than have my bath supplies sent from Lush in Canada. It is a great addition to the neighborhood!

Great little store. I got the Unilocal deal for my wife and she loves the salts, lotion and bath bombs. Looks like we’ll have to make a return trip soon to restock.
