Hass Soap Works

We make soap weeks before you ever get to use it.

Why?

Our handmade soap is made using the cold process method, and once a batch is cut into bars, we don't immediately sell it.

It cures for about 4–6 weeks.

During that time, excess water evaporates and the bar becomes harder—which helps create a longer-lasting bar of soap.

So those bars sitting quietly on our curing racks?

They're not waiting around.

They're getting ready for your shower.

Wisconsin in October.

Cool mornings. Changing leaves. Apple orchards. Pumpkins everywhere.

And the annual debate…

What's the best part of fall?

🍎 Apple season
🎃 Pumpkin everything
🍁 Fall colors
🔥 Cool nights & bonfires
🏈 Football

Or something we forgot?

We're curious—what makes fall fall for you?

What happens after a big craft show?

It's not quite as exciting as the show itself. 😂

Everything comes home.

Soap gets counted. Displays get put away. Inventory gets updated. We figure out what sold well—and which soaps we need to start making again.

And then the soap shop gets busy.

Because unlike pulling another product off a warehouse shelf, a new batch of our cold process soap needs 4–6 weeks to cure before it's ready for you.

That's why we're usually making next month's soap while everyone else is thinking about this month.

Small-batch soapmaking definitely keeps us planning ahead!

🍎🥃 Product Spotlight: Apple Bourbon Buzz

We took crisp Macintosh apple and paired it with the warm sweetness of bourbon and vanilla.

The result?

Apple Bourbon Buzz.

🍎 Tart apple
🥃 Warm bourbon
🤎 Smooth vanilla

It's fruity without smelling like candy and warm without being too heavy—a combination that feels right at home this time of year.

If fall had a soap dish, this one would belong in it.

Are you more apple 🍎 or bourbon 🥃 when it comes to fall scents?

What a weekend! 🎃

A big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth at Nekoosa Giant Pumpkin Fest this weekend.

Whether you bought a few bars, smelled half the table trying to pick a favorite 😂, stopped to chat, or simply came over to see what we make—we appreciate you.

Craft shows give us something the internet can't: a chance to actually meet the people using our soap.

Now it's time to unpack, count what's left, and probably make some more soap. 🧼

Thank you for supporting our little Wisconsin business.
