Seven Sisters Soaps at ArtWalk
Seven Sisters Soap is now available at ArtWalk.
ArtWalk is preparing for spring cleaning with its newest
artist, Sandra McCartney of Seven Sisters Soaps.
McCartney is the owner and soaper for the
homegrown soap company, which started shortly after her daughter received a melt-and-pour soap kit
for Christmas in 2011. However, her daughter was hardly interested.
Instead, McCartney ended
up taking the kit and started melting and pouring soaps with her granddaughter as a hobby. She began
creating soaps and given them away to colleagues at work.
One day, while reading the label
of ingredients on the soap-making package, she noticed a considerably long list of
chemicals.
Realizing she didn’t want chemicals on her family’s skin, she collected all of the
soaps she had given out and embarked on a mission to make the purest, most natural soaps
possible.
In March 2012, she quit her day job and then brought her family to Black Mountain
to professionally make soap. Since then, she’s made designer soaps with embedded flowers, plain
blocks of soap and different varieties for different skin types.
Her mission, she said, is
“to make humanity cleaner and healthier one bar at a time.”
Seven Sisters Soaps – all natural
and chemical-free – is now available at ArtWalk, located at 611 W. King St. in downtown Boone. For
