About Us

Sparkles & Sunshine Soap Company is a micro-business based in Bloomington, Illinois that specializes in creating handmade bath and body products.

Hi! My name is Joellyn and I'm the owner and creator here at Sparkles & Sunshine Soap Company. I've always loved creating, making, and engaging the right side of my brain outside of my full-time (left-brained) job. I love learning new things, and creating handmade items fulfills that desire. There is just something so satisfying about trying something new, from researching, planning, testing, all the way to making and packaging the final product.

I've been interested in making soap, bath bombs, and other bath products as far back as I can remember, but I just learned about cold process soap in 2021. To be honest, I was really intimidated by the process. So, I did a ton of research and watched so many wonderful creators on YouTube, and it gave me the courage to make my first batch. After that, I was hooked.

My goal is to make a quality product that will make you feel good when you use it. Have you ever been shopping and found that nothing quite fit right? Urgh, hate it. Soaps, lotions, bath bombs, and scrubs always fit! You have to get clean, so why not do so with soap that smells (and looks) good? It is like having a little "me time" every day!
