I have always loved biology and chemistry. Back in 1999 I went to my local library, took out a book on cold processed soap making and found a hobby. I started making soap for my personal use, for family and for friends.

Fast forward a few years. With both of my children graduated from college, out of the house and self-supporting, I had some “me-time” to reflect on what I wanted to do. I loved making soap. I loved working with essential oils. I did some research, took a few aromatherapy classes and learned how to create other bath products. I started my company Alegna Soap and haven't looked back.
