Artifact Soapworks
About
Artifact Soapworks is an online soap shop based in Cambridge that makes artisanal soaps in unusual molds, so the bars look like small artifacts instead of plain squares. Every soap is vegetarian or vegan and cruelty free, and everything is made locally in Massachusetts. The business is woman owned, minority owned and Black owned, and it brands some of its lines as feminist and goddess soaps.
The catalog includes shaped single bars such as a Honey Oatmeal honeycomb and bumblebee, Pink Himalayan Salt Shea and French Lavender in a French curl shape. Round loofah soaps come in scents like cranberry and green apple, and an Almond Confetti soap is sold as a full loaf. There is also a shaving line, including an Old Spice-type shea shaving soap and a three-bar sampler. Shopping happens online, from the comfort of home.
