Coffee Mint: Made with coffee grounds and peppermint essential oil, this is a great soap for removing the smell of garlic or onions from your hands next to the kitchen sink, though many people like this invigorating bar for their morning shower. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, coffee, and essential oils.

Coriander and Citrus: A bright duo of coriander and citrus essential oils, awakening and uplifting.Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter and essential oils.

Saltwater: An essential oil blend creates a scent reminiscent of the ocean. Made with salt and nori.

Sunflower with Calendula: Our first unscented soap for those who may be sensitive to essential oils. The sunflower oil makes a bit softer soap that’s very moisturizing. Contains saponified oils of olive, sunflower, coconut, and castor, with shea butter and ground calendula petals.

Vetiver: French green clay works in this soap to gently draw out impurities and tighten the pores. A good facial soap for those with sensitive and oily skin.

Esperance, New York

Saipua matriarch, Susan Ryhanen began making soap as a hobby in 1999 in her basement using olive oil from the grocery store and a shoebox as a mold. The hobby grew into a small business called Creekside Soaps which sold soap as well as custom engineered soap-making supplies, designed by Susan's husband Pentti.

In 2004 Susan’s daughter Sarah and her partner Eric suggested a re-branding of the soap - and SAIPUA (derived from the Finnish word for soap ‘saippua’ and a nod to Pentti’s heritage) was formed. For almost two decades, soap has served as a backbone for the myriad endeavors at SAIPUA and Worlds End Farm.
