About

Thanks for visiting the Black Apron website. Black Apron focuses on high-quality bath and body products that are made with exceptional ingredients and a touch of botanical magic. The visual and aromatic properties of our products are created from plants. The colors you see are from clays and botanical powders and extracts. The scents you smell are from resins, essential oils, and botanical extracts. 

We recognize that the process starts before the raw ingredients end up in our hands. All ingredients are and always will be vegan. Our shea butter is exclusively sourced by companies that uplift women and provide fair payment for their hard work. All soaps are palm-oil free and the majority of our ingredients are certified organically grown.

ABOUT THE MAKER

I’m Myra (she/her), the owner, creator, and soap maker behind Black Apron. The women from my Appalachian heritage were my initial inspiration for soap making, though I developed my own style and techniques to adjust to the times and my personal ethics. Most of my soaps are made with plants grown in my garden, wild harvested by me, or purchased from local farmers and other small businesses. I’ve worked on my recipes for years to create a balance of lather, moisture, and gentle cleansing properties. For even longer than my years as a soap maker, I have practiced herbalism and candle-making. I look forward to sharing more of that again in the future. 

I absolutely adore animals and I’m passionate about animal welfare and the environment. I have 4 rescue kitties (Lucretia, Dio, Artemisia, and Persephone) who provide quality (of life) control but refuse to help pack orders.
