Jacqueline Rheann Dewey

Jacqueline Dewey’s passion for natural soapmaking began as a mission to reduce her family’s exposure to toxins, particularly after her daughter’s cancer experience. Unsatisfied with mainstream skincare options, Jacqueline dove into holistic remedies, initially self-teaching and pursuing more formal herbal studies. What started as a journey to soothe her daughter’s eczema with natural balms and salves has evolved into a full-scale commitment to crafting safe, gentle soaps and shampoo bars for her family and others. Each creation reflects her dedication to health-conscious skincare alternatives, made with care for both people and the planet. With a strong background in education, including over a decade in public education and five years as a homeschool mom, Jacqueline makes learning accessible and engaging. Her guide, From Seed to Soap, simplifies the complexities of natural soapmaking, guiding beginners through foundational concepts while offering deeper insights for seasoned soap makers. The guide aims to cut through long-winded explanations and is designed to be clear and approachable, condensing useful information into one place, allowing readers to spend more time creating beautiful soap and less time reading and researching. Her love for soapmaking reflects her commitment to thoughtful, purposeful living. She’s thrilled to share this journey with others, inspiring a shift toward wellness through each handmade bar.
