Founder Story

Dave and Steve started STEM Handmade soap in the basement of their home in Lakewood, Ohio – as a simple science experiment. Steve’s degree in biochemistry led to the creation of the perfect bar of all natural soap after 18 months of research and feedback from family and friends. They started selling bars of soap on a simple website. Customers really liked the soap and loved the fact that it was all natural. Overwhelmed with requests for more all natural skin care options, Steve formulated additional products using skin loving ingredients powered by nature.  2 years later with no more room in the basement of the house, they moved STEM operations to a building in Lakewood, Oh.  where all of their products are handmade from start to finish.   STEM continues to create sustainable skin care solutions that are great for the skin and for the planet.  Live cleaner and greener!
