HI! I'm Kim, the owner and artisan of Midnight Oil Soap and live with my family on a small farm just outside of Walla Walla, Washington.

  I love what I do and it shows in every product put forth.  I create all my own recipes and make all my own products.  Production is done on the days the store is closed. When asked how I come up with new recipes, it's like this:  I keep a pen and paper by my bed because most recipes are created in 'dream time' and then I wake up with the recipe in my head and write them down while still fresh in my mind.  It is kinda crazy, but I do come up with the most amazing recipes!

Why the name Midnight Oil?  I started my business my in 1996  and with 4 small children, I ended up working mainly at night and into the wee hours of the morning while they slept, burning the MIDNIGHT OIL. I began with $20.00, a dream, and the loving support of my family.

As a child I remember that my sense of smell was very attuned to my environment. At a young age I realized that most people did not experience the world as I did, through my sense of smell. As a soap maker I have used this ability to create scents that will delight and surprise you. My scent combinations are masterfully blended to create a sense of wonder, happiness, peace and nostalgia. Smell is the most powerful memory trigger, and when people start to smell my soaps they soon are wide-eyed and exclaim pure joy and astonishment as each bar goes to their nose. After one shower/bath you will also discover the quality of the soap in lather and cleansing.
