Frequently Asked Questions
What are Earth-Based skincare products?
Our products are best described as earth-based. While the vast majority of ingredients are straight up plants, you'll see things like epsom salt or mica, which are technically not plants- they're minerals!
What are you doing to encourage sustainability?
We strive to include as little plastic as possible, and we're actively searching for even better sourcing. All bottles and jars are glass, with (unfortunately) plastic closures. We also have several products in compostable paper packaging.
What steps do you follow to remain cruelty-free?
We don't mess around about animals. Our products are tested on the company founder- not a bunny.
We also have strict rules for ensuring that all individually sourced ingredients come from ethical supply chains as well.
How do you price your products?
All products are priced using the following method: Ingredient cost + (Labor hours x $40) + taxes
Basically, this means that we are able to pay fair wages while keeping costs reasonable for our customers.
What can I expect in your labelling practices?
Our labels are cute, but they also serve the purpose of informing you. You can always expect to have a label that makes sense, gives clear directions, and can be understood without an advanced chemistry degree.
How should I store my products?
Our products are best stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This is also the reason most products come in amber glass- it helps shield from those harmful rays!
Our products do not contain chemical stabilizers and therefore cannot take the beating many chemical-laden skincare brands can.
Where are your skincare products made?
All of our products here at Simple Soul Skincare are handmade in the USA. More specifically, in Kentucky.
Simple Soul Ethos
Simple Soul Skincare is founded on a mix of common sense, good will and a love for Mother Earth.
From that intersection comes the entire brand. It's almost entirely plant based, strives to use as few ingredients as possible, all hand-made, and focused on transparency and sustainability.
That's why you'll find all of your products delivered in either glass or compostable packaging, with a list of ingredients that you can pronounce and understand.
We aren't chemical-phobes and believe in the power of modern science- but also believe that we don't always have to go that far to have something truly wonderful that will actually work.
You don't have to stuff a moisturizer full of dyes and gelatins and cheaply manufactured oils to make it shelf stable. You don't have to put silica in a sugar scrub when the actual sugar is right there.
It might be a little more expensive to use the real version of an ingredient, but it's worth it for you to have happy, safe skin that doesn't break out even worse after you use it.

Simple Soul's Roots
The Early Days of Simple Soul Skincare
Every brand has a story, a genesis that shapes its values, mission, and essence. For Simple Soul Skincare, that story is deeply personal, rooted in compassion, and driven by a desire to bridge gaps and foster inclusivity.
Many years ago I worked as a teacher in a very impoverished, rural high school. Because many of our students had trouble finding positive adult role models, our school implemented a mentoring program called Care and Connect which I absolutely adored. It gave me half an hour every day to just sit and talk with a core group of students about their lives and what they needed to be happy, whole and successful.
Many of our conversations were around relationships, difficult classes, their dreams and aspirations. And many of them were around smaller things- among these, how annoying it was to spend so much money on skincare products that didn’t do a single thing they claimed.
Determined to figure this out for my kiddos, I began experimenting with simple, natural ingredients to create skincare products that were both effective and affordable. I wanted those students to feel valued and cared for, and even though I couldn’t fix all their problems- surely I could figure out how to make a lotion that smelled nice and fixed an ashy elbow or two.
As Simple Soul Skincare grew, so did its community. Customers were drawn not just to the high-quality products but also to the brand's mission and values.
The brand's irreverent, down-to-earth attitude resonated with most people as well. Simple Soul Skincare wasn't about perfection or unattainable beauty standards. It was about real people, real skin, and real care. This authenticity became a hallmark of the brand, setting it apart in an industry often characterized by superficiality and false promises.
The Current Days
Today, Simple Soul Skincare stands as a testament to the power of compassion and the impact one person can have when they set out to make a difference. What began as a small act of kindness in a classroom has blossomed into a thriving brand with a loyal customer base and a clear mission.
As Simple Soul Skincare continues to grow, it remains steadfast in its commitment to simplicity, sustainability, and social responsibility. The brand's origin story serves as a constant reminder of its mission and inspires its future endeavors. In a world that often prioritizes profit over people, we’re hoping to be something just a little bit better.
