Our Story
Handcrafted with love in Oskaloosa, Iowa — since 2019.
It started in the kitchen.
Back in 2019, I began mixing up small batches of handcrafted soap with nothing but a love for clean ingredients and a belief that what you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in it. I wasn't trying to build a business — I was just trying to make something real, something honest, something that actually worked.
Word spread fast. One bar of soap led to another, then to lotions, candles, bath bombs, and scrubs. Before long, Papa Stan's of Iowa was born.
We believe in small batch. We believe in all-natural. We believe that a product made with care smells better, feels better, and does better than anything mass-produced ever could.
Every product we make is crafted right here in Oskaloosa, Iowa — by hand, in small runs, with ingredients we trust. No fillers. No shortcuts. No compromise.
We're proud to be veteran-owned and even prouder to be part of this community. If you've ever shaken our hands at a local market or discovered us online, you're part of this story too.
Thank you for supporting a small business that genuinely cares. Every order means the world to us — and we can't wait for you to find your new favorite scent.
With love from Oskaloosa,
Stan 🌿
