THE LUXURY OF SIMPLICITY
My name is Cristy Ramos and I have been making soap since 2011. My soap-making journey began when my oldest son, Israel, came up with the idea as we made a change to use sustainable products; this lifestyle is what I’ve called “The Luxury of Simplicity.”
Artisan Bath & Body’s Etsy shop was opened on December 16, 2012, and this website was opened later. What started as something for personal use became a product that ignited a full-time job I am deeply devoted to.

All of the soap's formulas are my own. The cold process method is my favorite method to make soap. I can guarantee that every single one of my products is made with loads of love. Every ingredient I put into my products is carefully selected. The materials and work-space I use are clean. I proudly make my products in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
I am extremely thankful for our customers. I appreciate all the loyalty throughout the years. Growth is always substantial. As a family and business, we are growing together. Our business goal is to offer the finest products to our customers and our dream is to have a local store.

BEHIND THE SCENES
In these five photographs, I am showing how I made this artisan soap called Lime Zest. The first photo shows the mold and the tools I am using. The second photo shows the pouring of the saponified vegetable oils with its natural colorants added. I then make a swirl design to give the soap an artistic look, shown in the third photo. Final swirl on top of the soap is done with another tool. I show what the swirl on top came out like on the fourth photo. Finally, on the fifth photo, I am cutting a loaf of soap into bars.
LOCAL POP-UPS
In 2016, we were invited twice to become a pop-up shop at West Elm in Henderson, NV. Both were a one-day event. It is amusing to sell in person! I enjoyed watching customer's reactions to certain scents and colors. It's amazing how our senses differ from person to person.
