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.

💜 Happy Women's Equality Day!

Today, we're celebrating the women who dream big, work hard, lift each other up, and build businesses that strengthen their communities.

For nearly 30 years, Riverdance Soapworks has been woman-owned and operated. What began with one woman's passion for creating handcrafted skincare has grown into a business that continues to be led by women who believe in quality, community, and caring for others.

We're proud of our roots, grateful for the women who came before us, and inspired by the next generation of entrepreneurs who are chasing their own dreams.

Thank you to every customer who has supported our journey over the past three decades. Every purchase helps support a woman-owned small business and the incredible team behind it.

Here's to equality, opportunity, and continuing to create spaces where women can lead, grow, and thrive. 💜

☀️ Sunday Reset ☀️

Sundays have a way of reminding us to slow down.

Before the busy week begins, take a few moments to recharge. A long shower. A warm bath. Your favorite handcrafted soap. A rich body butter. Whatever helps you feel refreshed and ready for what's ahead.

Self-care doesn't have to be elaborate—it can be as simple as giving yourself permission to pause.

As you prepare for the week, don't forget to take care of the one person who's with you through all of it... you. 💚

How are you spending your Sunday? We'd love to hear your favorite way to unwind.

It's a simple addition to your daily routine that can make a big difference.

📚 Fresh notebooks. Fresh routines. Fresh face.

So if there's a scent you've fallen in love with, don't wait too long—you'll thank yourself when you're wishing for a little taste of summer in the middle of winter. ☀️

And while you're stocking up, keep an eye out... our fall collection is already in the works, and we can't wait to share what's coming next! 🍂
