Amateur Chemistry Laboratory makes fine toiletries and bath products, including handmade soaps, lotions, lipbalms and bath bombs that are made in NM.

Amateur Chemistry Laboratory makes fine toiletries and bath products in Los Alamos, NM. Products are sold exclusively at Warm Hearts Yarn in White Rock, NM. The soaps are designed to be both beautiful looking and good for your skin. Recently, Amateur Chemistry Laboratory has added naturally dyed and un-dyed products, as well unscented items. Holiday and seasonal soaps are available for gifts. Confused about our name? You are not the only one. Many people think that it is an homage to New Mexico's favorite show, Breaking Bad, but it is not. ACL's employees are electrical engineers, which makes us truly amateur chemists. As soap is all about chemistry, it became a joke amongst us when we would make mistakes.

Our pride on the brain soap was supposed to be a butterfly swirl pattern but came out looking more like the nooks and crannies of your grey matter. It still looks cool, though. The tropical sunrise soap is down to the last two bars and more will be made in August. Feel free to grab them all at Close-Knit Yarn Cooperative!

For our spa bar fans, they are back by request! They are next to our new Last Light soap that is designed to look like a campfire. Try them both out for a delightful shower adventure.

We have switched over to our summer booth style! It is our favorite style — rainbow colors and a little bit of everything. We have a few new looks, including the pink lovestruck soap using a new technique for blending the colors, the last light soap that looks like a midsummer’s night campfire, and an old favorite the cashmere soap that smells as expensive as it feels. Check them out at Close-Knit Yarn Cooperative

Spring is just around the corner so we're busting out some shiny new inventory soon. In the meantime, our late winter faves, like the blue Hawaii mantra swirl soap and our winter salt scrub, are still bringing the heat. Check them out at Close-Knit Yarn Cooperative

Is someone your valentine but you still haven’t found them a gift? The gift of soap is wonderful. It disappears over time, the rectangular shape is easy to wrap and you can try out a cheesy pick up line like “would you like to try out your gift together?” Close-Knit Yarn Cooperative

Dull skin? Grab our spa bars ASAP! The soap may make you smell like a beach dweller, but trust us, the salt scrub is a miracle worker for dull skin, and with some lotion, you'll shine like a rockstar. Give it a try at Close-Knit Yarn Cooperative!
