The Story Behind Our Name

Our name, Oshun, was inspired by the Yoruba river goddess — the Orisha of fresh water, beauty, love, and renewal. In Yoruba mythology, Oshun brought life and balance to the world when all else failed. She ruled over the rivers and streams, nourishing the earth, restoring harmony, and reminding humankind of the power found in gentleness and care.

When we began crafting our soaps, we were drawn to those same ideals. Each bar starts with the purest ingredients from nature — creamy goat’s milk, healing oils, and soothing botanicals — meant to nurture the skin the
way Oshun’s rivers nourish the land.

As the story goes, Oshun’s touch turned even the driest earth fertile again. We imagined our soaps doing the same: restoring what’s dry, calming what’s irritated, and bringing back the skin’s natural balance.

In choosing her name, we honor the goddess who reminds us that true beauty flows from care, balance, and love — qualities we strive to embody in every bar of soap that
bears her name.

Rooted in Reverence

We believe in reverence for Mother Earth. For ancient rituals. For nature as medicine. She has always held the answers—we’re simply here to listen.

What We Refuse

We are against mass production, overconsumption, beauty trends, and putting profits over people. We will never use synthetic ingredients, fragrance, plastic, or cheap fillers that harm our bodies or the Earth.

The Skin That Started It All...

You might recognize Mike Johnson from The Bachelorette, Celebrity Family Feud, or Good Morning America—but what you didn’t see was the eczema so severe he bled through the sheets. His confidence? Gone. His allergist called it one of the worst cases in 20 years.

The “clean” products Mike was using were mostly water—filled with cheap ingredients that did more harm than good. So he set out to create something better.

For two and a half years, Mike searched for what would truly heal his skin. He discovered what ancient cultures always knew: Mother Earth holds the medicine. Bar soap—when done right—can calm, nourish, and restore.

He chose just 11 ingredients, each carefully selected for purity and purpose: goat milk from the Philippines, Manuka honey from New Zealand, olive oil from Spain. No fragrance. No synthetics. No cheap alternatives.

Mike made this bar to calm his own skin. Now he’s proud to share it with you.
