Hello, I'm Janel and I own a small business with my husband. I started making soap in 2017 when I had an eczema breakout and needed a good soap with no fillers for my eczema. Many commercial products made the breakout even worse or burned in the shower. I soon started studying oil properties and the benefits of homemade soap and soon realized I was not alone with my skin issues. The company started out as soapit2me, but in 2019 I started making candles and had to change my name to Cahaba Soap and Candle Company. We live in Birmingham Alabama and the Cahaba River runs near a home hence the name of our company. Our candles are amazing, way better quality than what you would find in a grocery store and other big soap and candle companies. I soon discovered how toxic the big candle companies were, like one company actually puts formaldehyde in their candles! What?!  I knew I didn't want that in my home, and I did not want that for anybody else.

Mission: 

My goal is always to help people dealing with skin issues to enjoy bathing and know that they are doing something good for their skin, I love candles as many people do and I want you to feel better burning clean and safe candles in your home for you and your family
