From Coastline to Countryside — The Heart Behind Suds in a Bucket Soap Co.

I’m Jodie, the hands, heart, and hustle behind Suds in a Bucket Soap Co. Born and raised along the New England coastline, our family of five eventually found ourselves traveling across the country with my husband’s career. Today, we’re rooted in the warm countryside of Texas — a place that has become home to both our family and our craft.

Suds in a Bucket Soap Co. was built on a love for comfort, quality, and the simple joy of everyday essentials made with care. What began as a small family craft has grown into a cozy Texas‑based soap company focused on creating skin‑loving bars with honest ingredients and a handcrafted touch. Many longtime customers will remember us as Simply Made by Jodie — the name that carried our early beginnings before we grew into Suds in a Bucket Soap Co.

Our journey started with goat milk soaps, and while they’ll always be part of our story, we’ve grown into a wider world of nourishing alternatives — plant‑based milks, botanical oils, gentle clays, and rich butters. Whether you love creamy classics or lean toward vegan blends, every bar is made with intention and designed to bring comfort into your everyday routine.

Every batch is crafted in small quantities right here in Southern Texas, blending nourishing oils, rich lather, and warm, cozy scents that feel like home.

My husband and son proudly serve as scent testers and quality connoisseurs — if a fragrance passes their inspection, it’s truly something special. And then there’s our youngest, who doesn’t blend scents but absolutely voices her opinions about them. She means business, too — if she says a soap needs “more cozy,” “less sharp,” or “a better name,” we listen. Her honesty adds a spark of personality to everything we create.

At the heart of our business is a commitment to authenticity: real ingredients, real craftsmanship, and products that feel good from the moment you open the box. Our goal is simple — create products that feel like home.

Whether you’re grabbing a single bar or building a gift set, we want every item to feel personal, handcrafted, and made with care.

Welcome to Suds in a Bucket Soap Co. — where comfort, quality, and handcrafted goodness come together in every bar.
