Behind the scenes…
MadebyCheChe means made by me! I am a one woman show (mostly), so everything involved in creating and packaging my products starts and ends with me.
When it comes to soap, I infuse oils with herbs, botanicals and clays to naturally extract beautiful colours and scents. These infusions are tucked away for weeks to obtain the best results, no shortcuts here! I blend my soap in small batches, then cut, bevel and stamp each bar before adding their labels. It doesn’t stop there…
I whip up body butters in small batches; I melt, pour, and label every lip balm and hand salve myself. I measure and mix scrubs and bath salts, filling each jar and apply hand-cut labels. When I say handmade, I really mean it!
I love adding a personal touch to every step and I’m always focused on the smallest details to make each product feel special. Below you’ll find a ‘behind the scenes’ sneak peek into my world of production.
