Vivian Dritsas owner of The Little Soap Shop started out making soap as hobby in her kitchen. She was always obsessed with nature's elements, so decided to make her own soap and loved it! During college, she found herself taking all sorts of hands on art classes, like painting, sculpture and pottery. Although, far from being an artist or a painter, working with her hands was always a joy and she found true interest in hand crafting soap. Each batch of soap is superfatted with premium oils and butters. She only uses pure essential oils either cold pressed or steam distilled, and absolutely no synthetic fragrances or colors. All of her soaps are tested on friends, family and herself. Her products are 100% VEGAN. Visit
