Our Story

Kathy Ouellette – Owner/Operator
The story of Marsh Island Soaps began with a simple appreciation for quality. For years, I sought out artisanal soaps at local markets, always searching for products that truly nourished the skin. In 2018, I decided to step behind the crafting table and took a local class to learn the art of soapmaking.
I instantly fell in love with the process. As a quilter, I have a deep affinity for color, pattern, and design. Soapmaking became a new way to express that creativity, blending beautiful aesthetics with skin-loving ingredients and rich fragrances.
Following my retirement from a full-time career in 2021, what began as a passion shared with family and friends officially became a licensed business. Thank you for stopping by. Your support allows me to keep doing what I love: crafting beautiful, wholesome soaps for your everyday routine.
