About Us

Established in 2008, Pompeii Street Soap Co. is a small business located in the heart central Pennsylvania. We specialize in high quality natural artisan soaps and body care products, handcrafted in small batches by our small team in our Mifflinburg "Buggytown" facility.

Our Products Are...

• Formulated through the lens of a certified aromatherapist
• Scratch-made in our cozy workshop in central Pennsylvania
• Made with natural, clean, and sustainably sourced raw materials
• Lab tested and verified to be free of parabens, phthalates, and contaminants

Our Essential Oil Quality Standards

We are proud to:

• Label each bottle with the batch number, country of origin, cultivation method, distillation method and distillation date. 
• Third-party GC/MS test every batch of oil we sell to ensure quality and integrity.
• Provide batch-specific chemical analysis so you can view chemical composition before making a purchase.
• Store essential oils in a climate-controlled "cold room" to ensure maximum freshness.
• Clearance aging essential oils that are no longer at peak freshness or are approaching the end of their appropriated shelf life.

Jessica
Company Owner & Soap Maker

Jess is the author of all Pompeii Street formulas. She started the business in her parent's basement and has been working happily with essential oils since 2001. She is an artisan soap maker, certified aromatherapist, graphic designer, and back-porch distiller.

She firmly believes in transparency of product ingredients and is dedicated to continual learning. Jess and her staff keep up on the latest research on essential oils and the aromatherapy industry.

When not in the soap kitchen, Jess enjoys time with her family in Mifflinburg and spends her free time knitting and planning her next venture, Eleventh Acre.

Our employee with the longest seniority, Dawn has been with Pompeii Street from the very start (2008) and specializes in the creation of many of our body care products. She oversees the inventory and production of our lotions, body butters, sugar scrubs, liquid soaps, lip balms, salve and more. Dawn is a lover of all animals and enjoys caring for her cats, vegan cuisine, gardening, and thrift store shopping.

Often, Dawn can be found laughing with employees and customers, and is a very familiar face behind the counter in our retail store.
