Success with sustainable soaps and scents

By Christine Schaffran, Caroline Risi

Nearly seven years ago, Sarah Rehmann began making Cullowheegee Farms soap bars as Christmas gifts. Today, the plant-based, palm-oil free recipes are a hit as sustainably made products are trending.

“We only use essential oils for fragrance, and all the colors in our soaps are natural herbs and clays, and we really focus on sustainability with our packaging as well,” Rehmann says.

Cullowheegee Farms has soaps, body butters, essential oils, lip balms and more. Currently, Eucalyptus and Spruce is the No. 1 seller while Lavender Oatmeal Sage is the runner-up.
