     'Activated Charcoal/AC Soaps' benefit your skin due to their absorption powers by drawing out oil, dirt and other harmful substances out from within clogged pores to the surface of the skin.

Then rinse it away with clean water and your skin will feel smooth, refreshed and free of impurities. 'Ol' Smokey' is an unscented 'Bare Bar'.

'Black Beauty' is scented with Gardenia.

     Swan Haven Soaps are hand-crafted in a renovated  ‘Brooder House’ on Skillman Lane in what remains of Krout’s Pheasant Farm.

It's a lovely setting 5 miles out of town.

In the 1940 - 50's  Petaluma was known as “The Egg Capital of the World”.   Historic Skillman Lane had more independent egg producers on it than any other single road in the world. In 2005, Kathy began hand-crafting a variety of soap scents and shapes, which were given as gifts to her family and friends. In 2010 a business sprung from a hobby. And, the rest as they say is 'Her-Story'...
