1. What is Garage Brand Soap?

Garage Brand Soap is a small-batch, veteran-owned business based in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Every bar is handcrafted in our home garage using high-quality natural ingredients like shea butter and essential oils — designed to give you a clean you can actually feel good about.

2. What makes your soaps different from store-bought brands?

Unlike mass-produced soaps, our bars are made with nourishing oils, rich shea butter, and distinct scent profiles that stand out. Each one is designed for performance, scent, and skin feel — without harsh detergents, sulfates, or synthetic junk.

3. Do you use natural ingredients?

Yes. We focus on natural, skin-safe ingredients such as shea butter, essential oils, natural colorants, and clays. Many bars are vegan and palm-free, too.

4. Are your soaps safe for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. Our formulas are gentle and free from harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. Bars like Oatmeal Sea Foam and Surfside Scrub are especially great for sensitive or dry skin types.

5. What are some of your most popular soaps?

Customer favorites include:

• The Mechanic – exfoliating pumice and citrus scent.
• Surfside Scrub – coconut flakes and coastal vibes.
• Oatmeal Sea Foam – soothing oats for sensitive skin.
• Amber Reserve – masculine amber scent inspired by high-end colognes.

6. Is Garage Brand Soap all natural? 

Our soaps are made primarily from natural ingredients such as shea butter, essential oils, clays, and plant-based oils. We keep our formulas simple, skin-safe, and free from harsh chemicals, detergents, and artificial fragrances.

However, for certain bars we use synthetic mica to achieve unique, vibrant colors that natural colorants alone can’t provide. Synthetic mica is a lab-made version of natural mica, created without mining, which makes it a more ethical and skin-safe alternative. It gives our soaps their clean shimmer and aesthetic appeal while maintaining quality and safety.

So, while Garage Brand Soap is mostly natural, we use skin-safe synthetic mica only for visual enhancement — never in a way that affects the purity or performance of the soap.

7. Do you offer exfoliating soaps?

Yes! Bars like The Mechanic (pumice), Surfside Scrub (coconut flakes), and Oatmeal Sea Foam (colloidal oats) provide varying levels of exfoliation to help smooth and refresh skin.

8. What’s the story behind your slogan, “Enjoy getting clean… I’ll be in the garage”?

It reflects where it all started — making soaps right in our home garage. It’s a nod to hard work, creativity, and the satisfaction that comes from crafting something by hand.

9. Does Garage Brand Soap support any causes?

Yes. A portion of proceeds helps support Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, giving back to the community and fellow service members.

10. How long does each bar of soap last?

With proper care — keeping it dry between uses (using a soap saver helps!) — a bar typically lasts 3–4 weeks with daily use.
