Thank you to all the wonderful people who bought my soaps over all the years!
Following a lengthy writing career in Los Angeles, Carol Lightwood decided to enter the artisan soap business. After considerable experimentation and development in her kitchen, Pasadena Soaps was launched. Her goal was to create sophisticated soaps that are as beautiful to the eye and fragrant to the nose, as they are gentle on the skin. Using the best natural ingredients was and is the key to it all.
One of the first soaps she developed was in memory of her grandmother, Dulcie Wynona, who loved rose fragrance. As a little girl Carol helped Grandma Dulcie collect rose petals in her garden. After the petals were gathered some were dried to preserve color and fragrance and, then, made into potpourri and sachets. Other petals were distilled into rosewater. The fragrance of those rose petals filled Dulcie’s home in the Columbia River Gorge year ’round. Today Rose Petals soap continues to be very popular in the Pasadena Soaps Collection.
Carol Lightwood now lives in Tucson, Arizona. To contact her send email to carollight [at] sbcglobal [dot]net
