Our History

Back in the year 2000, our company started with formulations and experiments written in notebooks in a tiny house kitchen in North Pole, Alaska during the evenings while small children slept.

Testing and tuning, using locally sourced ingredients and staying true to our personal values is how Mountain Madness Soap Co. got its start.  Given our love for mountains, the name was a natural fit.  Gifts made, testers sent to family and friends who wanted more when they ran out and the dream that this could be something larger started out as our motivation.

Gifts turned into the demand for more gifts, which turned into doing craft fairs and Farmers Markets and after 10 years of making natural products, being passionate about our footprint and caring about our community we expanded into a small 1000 sq. ft. retail store in downtown Coeur d’Alene.  The retail store gave us a place to collaborate our ideas, experiment and to continue to be innovative. 

In 2016 we continued to expand our business due to the demand and relocated to a 4200 sq. ft. building on the main street in downtown Coeur d’Alene with our retail store on the main level and making our products in the basement. While our store remains in this location, we now have a dedicated operations and production center on Schreiber Way in Coeur d’Alene.  Here we continue to hand make all of our products, collaborate with other local businesses and foster a creative and supportive work environment. 

You may still bump into us driving our ’72 VW bus and set up at regional craft fairs.  Hey, it’s our passion, it’s what we do.
