Outlaw Soaps

Specialties

Our customers are misfits, trailbreakers, renegades, bushwhackers… outlaws. And that’s us: Outlaw Soaps.

We make ruggedly awesome handmade, small batch soaps, lotions, lip balms, colognes, and whatever else we can concoct.

Living the Adventure

Outlaw Soaps a company for adventurous people, by adventurous people. We live like the products we make: we love campfire, whiskey, and ill-​advised explosions… standing a little too close, but being sure to wear fire-​proof clothes.

We know there’s a time for quiet conversations, bb guns in the desert, and a time for asking your friend to hold your beer because you’ve got a great idea. (note: it’s never a great idea… and that’s why there’s YouTube)

Russ and I have built a business around what we find fun and interesting. It’s not for everyone… We get a lot of bruises in the regular course of life. Our hair is usually a mess. I probably have dirty fingernails.

But it’s our life, and it’s pretty damn fun.

If that sounds fun to you (or someone you know), you’ll probably like our products. If not, well, there are a million other companies for you, and that’s totally fine. No hard feelings.

We do hope you’ll at least come by and say hello!

History

Established in 2013.

When I started germinating the seed that would become Outlaw Soaps, I worked in a cubicle in the Los Angeles offices of The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). I lived in a concrete warehouse just East of Downtown.

Two of my favorite places in the world, Lake Hughes and Joshua Tree, were only an hour or two away, but I rarely made it out of the artist compound where I lived. It’s easy to get into the habit/​rut of waking up, going to work, coming home, going to bed, waking up, going to work, lather, rinse, repeat (do shampoo bottles even say that anymore?).

I felt like if I just had a little connection to the places I loved, that maybe I could be inspired and motivated to go there more often. Like if I had their scent on me, that I would be carrying a little patch of them with me, reminding me why I was alive.

And such was born Outlaw Soaps.

Business Owner

We’ve been friends for more than 10 years, in a relationship for 4, and married for 3. Our non-​soap life is made out of laughter, adventure, wine, whiskey, road trips, and camping. The rest of our life is soap, and that’s a wonderful life. Thank you for supporting our business. It really means a lot to us.
