Tingley Soap Company, LLC

My name is Dana Tingley and I am the owner of Tingley Soap Company, LLC (formerly Merci Naturel, LLC). I am the mother of three awesome kids, wife to one lucky guy, a substitute teacher, runner, biker, and creator of many fun and healthy bath & body products! I began making cold process soap from scratch in early 2014 because we discovered my son had many severe food allergies (a few have been outgrown and a few new ones have been added), and now both of my daughters have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I wanted to create products that I knew they could use safely. This was the only way for my family to have access to truly safe bath & body products. I took an introductory soap making class and never looked back! I love carefully selecting every ingredient that goes into the pot. I am continually researching to learn how local plants and additives can benefit my soaps, salves, and balms. There are no added animal fats, dairy, nuts, berries, dyes, soy, or gluten in any of my products. Instead, I use plant based oils, infusions, coconut milks, teas, plant based colorants, and lots of essential oils. I also use a few high quality fragrance oils in some of my soap for scents that don’t have an essential oil, such as chocolate, lilac, and even cotton candy! I hope you have as much fun using my products as I do making them! Since I create cold process soaps, they are cured for 4-6 weeks before becoming available to you. This helps to create a more hard, gentle, & long lasting bar. Please let me know if there is something special you would like, I would be happy to help! These are all natural products so their shelf life is more limited than detergent bars and commercial products. I am not a medical professional and these products are not intended for the purpose of diagnosing, treating, or curing all ailments. If irritation occurs, please discontinue use.
