About Potager
Rooted in simplicity, made with purpose. Potager Soap Company began with a simple idea. The things we use every day should be made with care, thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and respect for the natural world.
Where it began
What began with handcrafted soap has grown into something much broader, a collection of botanical bath and body products and carefully chosen goods for the home, all connected by the same garden inspired spirit.
Potager was founded from a love of traditional soap making and a belief that everyday products could be simpler, more beautiful, made with better ingredients. From the beginning, soaps were handcrafted in Massachusetts using plant oils, herbs, botanicals, and essential oils. As Potager grew, we made the decision to pursue organic certification. Exacting process, but one that reflected the standards we'd set for ourselves. In 2020, Potager achieved organic certification. It remains an important part of our story and continues to influence the way we think about ingredients, formulation, and the products we choose to make.
From soap to bath, body, and home.
Soap will always be at the heart of Potager, but today we make much more. Our collections include certified organic soaps, Potager Everyday botanical soaps, shower steamers, bath bombs, and other bath and body products with new products continuing to take shape in our Concord, Massachusetts workshop. Some are certified organic, others are made with carefully selected natural and botanical ingredients where organic certification isn't practical or necessary. What connects them is the way that we approach making them... Thoughtful ingredients, botanical inspiration, and products made to bring small moments of pleasure to everyday life.
Inspired by the garden... Potager is the French word for a kitchen garden, a place where useful plants grow side by side. It's an idea that has always felt at home here. Lavender, calendula, eucalyptus, lemon grass, geranium, rose. Those and many others influence the fragrances, colours, and character of what we make. That garden sensibility now shapes more than our soap. It influences what we put on our shelves, what we bring into the shop, and what we think belongs in the world of Potager.

Made by us, chosen by us.
Not everything you discover at Potager is made by Potager, and that's very intentional. Alongside the products we make ourselves, we curate a growing collection of goods from makers and brands we admire. We might be drawn to a company because of its values or because of the quality of its ingredients or its craftsmanship. Sometimes our customers lead us to products they've been hoping to find here, and now and then we simply come across a discovery that feels at home. That might be a candle, something for the bath or home, a garden-inspired puzzle, a craft, or another unexpected find. There doesn't need to be one particular type of product that connects everything we choose. Instead, there is a feeling, botanical, garden-inspired, apothecary-minded, useful, tactile, beautiful, things that invite you in to slow down, make something, tend something, enjoy your home. Thoughtfully curated, always growing. We don't want to fill our shelves just for the sake of having more things. Anything we bring in should feel like it belongs. Our collection of garden-inspired gifts, apothecary goods, candles, puzzles, crafts, products for bath, body, and home will continue to grow, but deliberately. Some things we'll make ourselves, others we'll discover and bring to you. Either way, we want them to be things that we're genuinely pleased to put our name beside. Handcrafted in Concord, Massachusetts. At the centre of Potager is still the work we do with our hands. Small batch production keeps us closely connected to what we make. From choosing ingredients to developing fragrances, to pouring, cutting, wrapping, and sending finished products out into the world. There is something deeply satisfying about making useful things well. That hasn't changed. Things worth using every day. The ordinary things are often the things we use most... the soap by the sink, a shower steamer at the end of a long day, a candle burning in the kitchen, a puzzle spread out across a table on a quiet afternoon. We think those small rituals matter. Potager has changed and grown quite a lot since the first bars were made, and our family has grown alongside it. Seeing Potager through the eyes of a new generation, including my granddaughter, is a lovely reminder of why the choices we make today matter. But the ideas behind Potager remain simple: thoughtful ingredients, botanical inspiration, craftsmanship, responsible choices, and an appreciation for useful, beautiful things. We hope you'll find something here that becomes part of your everyday ritual.
