About Us

Robinson Family Soaps was created by me, Mary Robinson. My hope was to provide better moisturizing soaps and other products to help my husband and child who suffer with a genetic skin condition known as Ichthyosis. Their skin makes it look as though they have hard scales on areas of their body. The winter is the worst on them.  This disorder can be in a mild form to a more severe form. The prescription lotions we kept getting for them caused burning. In a young child burning and bleeding of the skin makes it harder to help because he was getting scared of the lotions. After months of researching this skin condition I learned certain oils and butters were good for their skin. My journey into soap making and lotions started that day. My business launched April 2020 with one product and continues to grow with more products monthly. 

All of my products are made by hand in my Vermilion storefront. I create my own labels and run/manage my business with my husband, mother, my 5 children & 2 grandchildren cheering me on. 

Today I continue with my journey creating new products that are safe for them to use. I wanted to share what I learned with others. So here we are. My goal is to make sure my products are affordable to all people while enjoying handmade products. i cater to all genders and all ages. I make no medical claims for any of my products.
