Vellum St Soap Company

The soap you wish your mouth got washed out with! We craft our soap the old school way, using lye. lard (tallow, duck, and goat fat as well!), and love.

Vellum Street Soap Company is a victual apothecary, basically meaning we don't believe you should put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth. All of our cold process soaps are made from high quality, food grade ingredients, locally and sustainably sourced, with nothing added that doesn't have a beneficial purpose for your body. With our founders background as a chef, with a focus on sourcing sustainably and nutritional quality, you can be assured every ingredient that goes into our soaps has been researched and benefits tested, to get you the best possible finished product. Many of our ingredients are procured from local restaurants, excess ingredients that have no further ingredient use in the kitchen, but make wonderful ingredients for soap. We're proud of our relationships with these establishments, and are thrilled to make them more sustainable by working towards using every part of every animal and plant they bring into their kitchens. Vellum Street is the soap you wished your mouth got washed out with!

Mornings in the Vellum Street parking lot, packing up the mini with for a full day!

Then she’s cruising over to for the Circles & Circularity event from 3-6 ! They’re be food, drinks, and a handful of other local vendors, all of whom give a f**k about our long held waste not want not philosophy, so if you’re around, pop in! 🛻💨

There are a lot of buzz words flying around the skin care world, most of them carefully curated to sell you the idea of an eco minded, sustainably focused, healthy for you product & lifestyle, when in reality all it is is a brilliantly marketed sales pitch.

Vellum Street is a sustainability based company FIRST, the actual products we make come second. We exist to show you what beautiful, useful, and luxurious gems can be created from the things we tend to so readily discard, to shine the light on often overlooked parts of our daily lives. We are committed to using as many local waste or low use ingredients &!components as we can, from the local grass fed tallow we use in everything we make, the discarded citrus peels & previously steeped tea leaves & botanicals we infuse said tallow with, to the upcycled glass product containers we keep from the trash steam...we strive to give these elements new life and value.

It takes a lot of work, patience, and time to produce our products in the way we do, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We hope you appreciate the thoughtfulness and care for the land, the animals, and the people that go into every little thing we do as much as us! If you do, here’s your chance to visit us & a few likeminded businesses this Sunday at for a dinner celebrating circularity!

Here’s what I can tell you:

The formulation has been perfected (thanks ). The labels are a dream (thanks ). The repurposed pickle/mayo/salsa jars are washed, sanitized, & ready to go (thanks ).

Contrary to what some people may think, I Melissa, (aka Missy), make every single product myself, by hand. I pour & cut every bar of soap. I whip & pipe every jar of fluff. I infuse & strain & sniff & test & slather every bit of tallow (and lard!) myself. I also photograph & list every single bit of info on our website.

Jeremy & Rachael pack & ship all your orders. Nise labels every product, sets up every empty jar & tin for me to fill to the brim with tallowy goodness, and cruises around in the mini truck to slang & demo our goods. It’s a team effort for SURE, and I absolutely could not do it without them (not even a little bit).

But it’s still me that makes everything. When I tried bringing on someone last year to hand off some of that responsibility it didn’t work out so great, so here we are, quite literally with me with my hands in everything 😅

I have no desire to be a mass produced brand with no soul & mediocre standards. I insist on almost perfection in every single thing we do (not absolute perfection, because that’s impossible, but it’s gotta be real damn close ).

There’s only so much of me to go around, and existing product responsibilities come first, before new product responsibilities. So I’m gonna try my damndest to have our ROYGBVB whipped tallow skin fluffs available by 4/4/26, but it may not happen, we shall see!

Email subscribers will get a 24 hour head start on whatever limited availability I’m able to list, whenever that may be, so if you MUST have some of the initial launch, make sure you’re signed up!! 🌪️ 🐮🌪️

Today, you can celebrate St Patrick’s Day, a holiday honoring the Romano-BritishCatholic priest sent to rid Ireland of “snakes” (aka the pagan heathens) and the Catholic Church’s subsequent eradication of Irish heritage and tradition, or, you can take a nice hot shower and contemplate the animist traditions of a pre Christian Ireland, a people who celebrated and acknowledged the spirit and consciousness that flows through everything living and non living thing in existence- including that bar of soap your sudsing up with! ☘️ 🧼
