Meet Mama O

A woman with glasses smiling, with her hair tied back and wearing a beige top, in an indoor setting with blurred background.

Hi there! I'm Mama O, a retired nurse, grandma and dedicated producer of fine bath, body and home products who believes everyone deserves to feel good in their skin and happy about the way their home smells! Good Days, Smell Great! That’s our motto at MaMa O’s Suds and Such.

My soap journey started out of necessity. Commercial brands were leaving my skin feeling itchy and uncomfortable, and as a nurse, I knew there had to be a better way. So I rolled up my sleeves and started researching what was actually in the bath bar I had been using. Come to find out the big companies often use detergents and strong fragrances that strip your skin of it protective oils, leaving it dry, flaky and itching. I took the initative to make something better and started making my own.

What began as a personal solution, quickly became something I couldn't keep to myself. I shared bars created with conditioning oils, organic butters and gentle clean fragrances with friends, family and coworkers. The word spread faster than I could keep up with. That word-of-mouth love showed me this wasn't just about soap—it was about real care, from one person to another.

Every bar I make today carries that same intention: to offer comfort without the oil stripping ingredients. Soap to clean and make you smell and feel great! Good quality ingredients without the excessive price tag, and care that you can hold in your hands.

With love,

Mama O

Every Scrap Has Purpose

We don't throw away soap scraps—we turn them into mini-bars that we donate to local food pantries and shelters. Because waste isn't just bad for the planet, it's a missed opportunity to help someone feel cared for.
