A few months ago, we proposed the idea of making a women’s line of Outlaw Soaps -- an idea that I will admit was totally stupid. It was met with appropriate vitriol (we changed comment systems, so you can’t see the comments on the original post, but trust me, there...

This will be the first real vacation we've taken since we started the business and I'm kind of anxious... I mean, what if orders come in when we're gone? What if we get a big PO and can't make soaps in time because we're out of our workshop? What if......

This post was originally published in June of 2013. It has been edited to reflect updates in the Outlaw Soaps story 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...

"Have you lost your damn mind. I tried to order products from your website and was never able to do so. You sent a message saying trouble with sight [sic] currently. Get a job." - a real email response from a real person in response to our email newsletter This...

“It’s kind of like if you mixed Fight Club with Breaking Bad, and then turned that dark storyline into Pushing Daisies,” is what I tell them. See, at the end of March 2013, I quit my job at The Oprah Winfrey Network to start my own soap company with my...

Over the next month or two (depending on how well this goes over), we'll be including pre-stamped postcards with some orders. We need you to look up your representative and address the cards to them, and then sign the cards. We've left a place for a personal note, too.

UPDATE: Thanks to the feedback of several dedicated and insightful customers, we have decided that EVERYONE can be an outlaw and we can't break it down into genders. Instead, we are going to continue to push the envelope of good scents (and sense) with our daring combos... some sweet, some spicy, some...

Yesterday was one hell of a buckin' bronc of a soap making ride! Thank heavens the CEO/Wife works within screaming distance of the COO/Husband in the soap shop. I was in the process of making five batches (190 bars) of everyone's all time favorite, Hair of the Dog Whiskey Soap, when...

  This is the first in a series of stories about the inspirations behind our soaps. Many camping stories have contributed to the scent profile of Fire in the Hole, our campfire soap, and this is one. We hope you enjoy these as much as you enjoy the soap inspired...

Over the past two months, we've been moving from our place in Oakland to a new place in Antioch, about 45 minutes away. I've talked about the move itself, but there's something truly interesting about our new, weird, suburban life. Our subdivision was built in the early 90s. The houses,...

Production and temperance isn't the kind of thing people run advertising campaigns about, but without it, this business would be a smoldering rubble. Here's to Russell Vincent, my husband, my outlaw, and my business partner!

The truth is, neither were we. When I reflect back on how different our lives were just three years ago, it hardly seems possible that we have changed almost everything about our lives, our careers, and our homes. We even gained a family member (Roxy Vincent, VP of Animal Testing). How did this...
