Our Story

In 2018, we began making handmade holiday gifts for our families. A sugar scrub came first, followed by soaps and candles. What started as a shared hobby grew into Afterglow.

We enjoy both the creativity and the science of making. Exploring soap-making techniques, working with color, and finding fragrances are all part of that process. Our focus is on thoughtful details and products you can enjoy every day.
