Our Just Love Story


From Chef to Soap Maker — The Art of Creating Continues


For most of my life, I’ve worked as a chef and business owner in the hospitality industry. I’ve always had a passion for creating experiences people want more of—and for years, that meant through food. Now, it’s a new season. The kitchen still calls me, but this time it’s filled with oils, botanicals, and essential oils.

Why Soap?

I’ve always loved quality, natural soap—the kind that feels good, smells amazing, and looks like something you’d almost eat (don’t worry, I won’t). This love sparked a new kind of joy: crafting soap that nourishes, soothes, and invites you to slow down and savour the everyday ritual of caring for yourself.

What’s in a Name?

Just Love Soap was born from a dream my wife and I once had: to start a charity called Just Love—a blend of justice and love. To us, both of these words require action. So, just like our past ventures, this one is also driven by purpose. A portion of every sale will go toward meaningful causes. We're currently exploring partnerships to make that happen, and soon, giving back will be a core part of this site.
