Riverdance Soapworks

Riverdance Soapworks We are manufacturers of luxurious, handcrafted bath and body products. Rainier. We also have an eCommerce website.

Deb made her first kettle of soap in 1991 while living a "back to basics" livestyle, on a large farm in Eatonville, Washington, in the shadow of Mt. In 1996 she officially started Shepherd's Soap Co., and moved into a gift shop/factory on Highway 101 North, in the Olympic Peninsula Region. By the year 2000 she had outgrown the cozy little store, and moved to a much larger location in downtown She

lton. Trying to wear the various hats of manufacturer, marketing department, new product development, and retail storefront owner, all on her own, proved to be too demanding. So, in 2004, she relocated once again to a commercial factory where the company is presently located, as a manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer. Our retail outlet is at the Olympia Farmer's Market (open 4 days per week from April thru December). Over time, our product line has grown to include not only luxurious, moisturizing Soaps, but Bath Fizzies, Lip Balms, Solid Lotion Bars in roll-up tubes, Sweetcakes (sugar infused and encrusted soap blocks for awesome exfoliating), Coconut Milk Sugar Scrubs, fabulous Body Butters, refreshing Spritzers, uber-moisturizing fizzing Cocoa Butter Bath Truffles, Deodorant sticks, Bath Salts, and some Very European drawer sachet tablets.

🌿✨ Feature Friday: Firenze Italia Body Butter ✨🌿

This week we’re highlighting one of our most elegant scents—Firenze Italia Body Butter.

Inspired by the timeless charm of Florence and historic Italian apothecaries like Santa Maria Novella, this scent blends delicate florals, warm amber, and subtle herbal notes for a fragrance that feels refined, comforting, and quietly luxurious.

Our body butter delivers rich, nourishing hydration that melts beautifully into the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and lightly scented with this sophisticated blend.

Love the scent? Firenze Italia is also available in our artisan soap, so you can enjoy the experience from shower to skincare.

Stop by the Olympia Farmers Market Thursday–Sunday to try it in person, or shop online anytime at RiverdanceSoapworks.com.

🌿✨ Feature Friday: Indigo ✨🌿

This week we’re spotlighting Indigo, one of our fresh seasonal soaps for spring and summer.

The scent opens with ripe fig layered with crisp verdant undertones, creating a fragrance that feels fresh, modern, and quietly grounding. Softly sweet yet unmistakably green, Indigo captures that moment when spring is fully alive—lush, vibrant, and full of new energy.

Like all Riverdance soaps, Indigo is handcrafted in small batches with nourishing oils that create a rich, creamy lather while helping keep skin soft and comfortable.

Fresh. Green. Effortlessly refined.

Stop by the Olympia Farmers Market Thursday–Sunday to experience Indigo in person, or explore it online at RiverdanceSoapworks.com.
