Susan Flynn, Simple Joys Soap PO Box 6461 Sheridan, WY 82801 307-672-2130 sflynn@wyoming.com www.simplejoyssoap.com
Simple Joys Soap began when Susan developed an obsession with soap-making! There were so many essential oil (scent) combinations to try out and so many recipes! As she was purchasing ingredients in a Good Health Emporium & Warehouse Market in Sheridan, both owners began asking her if she would like to sell soap to them. Of course, Susan said yes! She was making so much more than she could use or give away, so it seemed to be the way to go — and with that, Simple Joys Soap was launched!
As a family business, Susan’s daughter and son-in-law help her with production and distribution. In busy times, she has also had help from friends and other family members. Simple Joys Soap is an entirely home-based business.
Although there are about 18 different scents, there are still many more possible combinations of essential oils and additives. Susan enjoys trying new ideas for special projects, so custom orders are always welcome. Also, for a nominal one-time fee, she offers custom soap labels to wholesale customers. For example, Paradise Guest Ranch, The Ranch at Ucross, and others have their logo on the soap label. In these businesses, Simple Joys Soap is available to the guests to use in their room and in the gift shops to buy as gifts.
For retail customers, Simple Joys Soap may be purchased by a phone, email, or the website:www.simplejoyssoap,com. Wholesale customers can email Susan at sflynn@wyoming.com or simplejoyssoap@wyoming.com, or phone 307-672-2130.
There are three sizes of soap: Hospitality, Half-size, and Full-size bars. Retail prices range from $1.00 to $5.00. Simple Joys Soap is made from a vegetable-based product made with high-quality ingredients and scented with essential oils. The labels accurately describe the ingredients found in the soap. Whenever possible, Susan supports local businesses when purchasing ingredients such as honey, coffee, organic oatmeal, etc. Extra soap is donated to local charities yearly. Simple Joys Soap is passionate about recycling ingredient containers!
