They now produce over 25,000 bars of homemade, hand stirred soap each year. All soap is produced by hand, allowed to mature over a period of 4 weeks and then wrapped in hand painted fabric. The Tanana and the Salcha rivers dissect this area with the spectacular Alaska Range providing a breathtaking backdrop. The original inhabitants of Salcha were the Salchaket Indians, a semi-nomadic band that fished and hunted in a large area encompassing much of the Salcha and Tanana river drainage. The Salchaket Indian village was one of the largest in the interior.
Pure water is a requirement for high quality soap.
Rain water has proven to be ideal in many places for this purpose. However, in interior Alaska there is scant summer rainfall. Therefore, from October to April, fresh fallen snow, a plentiful source of pure water here, is collected and used throughout the year for soap production. The result is a high quality soap product that is mild, moist and gentle to the skin. We take great pride in our product.
