Ordinarily Extra was started in 2018 when my husband was diagnosed with lymphoma at 30 years old. After receiving the shocking news, I began to research everything we put into our bodies. This is when I learned about all the additives in commercial bath products. Unhappily surprised with what I learned, I decided to start making my own soap. Seeing and knowing the natural ingredients were all that was used to make the soap helped give some peace of mind during this time. With a background in chemistry, experimenting with different oils and scents soon become a deep love of mine. I branched out to help friends and family find which soaps can work best for them. With their love and encouragement, I have been able to bring my creations to you.
