Our Mission
At Footsie Tootsie Soapery, our mission is to handcraft high-quality, natural skincare that nourishes from head to toe and brings intention to everyday self-care. As a culturally diverse family business, we weave inclusivity, tradition, and creativity into everything we make.
We proudly source ingredients locally whenever possible—especially our signature pasture-raised tallow, a sustainable, nutrient-rich ingredient that adds exceptional nourishment to our formulations. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and gentle effectiveness, our products are made to be safe for the whole family and mindful of the planet.
In keeping with our eco-conscious values, we thoughtfully select packaging options that reduce waste and environmental impact whenever possible—because caring for your skin shouldn’t come at the expense of the Earth.
