The Bell Cow Soaps

My twin sister and I put to use our plant knowledge from our self-taught botanist mother and the soapmaking skills of our farm-taught great-grandmother and started making soap in college. Our soaps are all-natural and help a variety of skin conditions. We are country girls who know how to take nature and make it work for your skin the old-fashioned way! The Bell Cow does things the down-home, Mississippi way. Our dairy farmer granddaddy used to joke that whichever one of us who was in the lead was "the bell cow." (On the farm, all the other cows follow the bell cow.) Our products are now "the bell cow" in good, old-fashioned, natural skincare. Our soaps are made via a unique (and secret!) hot process method that my sister and I "cooked" up years ago. It allows the soap to be made and cooling before essential oils and herbs are ever added...therefore, their amazing benefits aren't destroyed by the heating process as they likely are in cold-processed soaps. One downside to this is that our soaps might not be as pretty. Ugly soap cleans just as well (and ours even better!) than pretty soap. We don't use artificial colorants or fragrances...if they don't benefit your skin (and many of these things can actually harm it), then we don't bother with it. Our soaps and skincare products are 100% all natural. I use them on my family, so I know they are safe for your family. We've done this for years and our methods are tried and true...it's not a hobby, it's a passion! Making soap helped to fund graduate school for me and veterinary school for my sister. Then life got really busy for us both, so soapmaking once again became just an enjoyable hobby. But circumstances changed, and thankfully, soapmaking was once again something I could fall back on. In 2014, I was blessed with my second child, a beautiful boy named James Travis. Unfortunately, he was born with several medical issues, and insurance just doesn't pay for everything. With hospital bills mounting and more rolling in every month for inpatient stays, surgeries, feeding tube supplies, medications, and travel to appointments, this old teacher had to learn a new way to work the budget. So I pulled out the soap pots and got back to work! Thankfully, I love making soap, and it helps me to help my family. I appreciate your business so much. I'm passionate about my products and love, love, love natural skincare, so I'm always up for answering questions. Please feel free to ask any!
