We recently connected with Meghan Osborne and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Meghan thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear from you about what you think Corporate America gets wrong in your industry and why it matters.

In the world of soap-making, Corporate America often prioritizes speed over quality. I recall a conversation with my Great Aunt, who, when asked about her radiant skin, attributed it to a true natural cold process soap crafted by her mother. Unlike mass-produced soaps loaded with chemical hardeners and foaming agents for a quick market release, genuine natural soaps take 4-6 weeks to cure. This slower process allows for the retention of healthy hydrating oils, offering skincare benefits that surpass the synthetic alternatives. The rush for swift market presence sacrifices the essence of authentic, high-quality soap, as my Great Aunt’s timeless advice on caring for one’s skin like a lady emphasized.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I hail from Atlanta, Georgia, and my venture into the world of natural body care started as a cherished family tradition, inspired by my great gran’s teachings. Five years ago, I transformed this tradition into Sapphire Moon Soapery, specializing in cold process soap making. It’s a family affair with my three kids and supportive husband joining me on this incredible journey. Drawing inspiration from my family’s legacy, I bring the artistry of handcrafted soaps to life. Each product reflects not just quality but a piece of our family history.

What sets Sapphire Moon apart is our deep-rooted connection to history, family, and quality. I’m immensely proud of blending tradition with artistry, offering not just products but a journey through time for our clients. Sapphire Moon Soapery is more than just a brand; it’s a dedication to your skin’s well-being. Experience the heritage and quality that define our soaps, and join us on this unique venture.

Beyond the nourishing benefits of our soaps, I bring a deep love for creating into every bar. The artistry infused into each creation adds a special touch, turning a daily ritual into a sensory experience. As the artist behind Sapphire Moon Soapery, I infuse a personal touch into each creation, making every soap a reflection of my passion for the craft. It’s about elevating your self-care routine with a touch of artistic joy. Explore a spectrum of colors, patterns, and designs in our soaps, each crafted with meticulous attention. While these artistic details don’t alter the benefits, they transform your self-care routine into a moment of creative indulgence.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

The foundation of Sapphire Moon Soapery’s reputation within the market is rooted in our commitment to quality, tradition, and a personal touch. By drawing inspiration from a rich family heritage in soapmaking, infusing each creation with natural, high-quality ingredients, and adding an artistic flair to our soaps, we’ve created a brand that resonates with authenticity. Consistency in delivering products that reflect our values, coupled with a dedication to customer satisfaction, has played a pivotal role in building trust and loyalty within our market. Additionally, engaging with our community through social platforms has allowed us to connect on a personal level, fostering a sense of belonging and appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each product.

Do you have any stories of times when you almost missed payroll or any other near death experiences for your business?

Fortunately, Sapphire Moon Soapery has been fortunate to navigate challenges effectively, and we haven’t faced significant near-death moments or close calls that jeopardized meeting payroll. Our commitment to financial prudence, adaptability, and strategic planning has played a crucial role in ensuring the stability and sustainability of the business. While every entrepreneurial journey has its share of obstacles, we prioritize proactive measures to mitigate risks and maintain a steady course for the benefit of our team and the business as a whole. As a business owner, staying organized has been a key pillar of Sapphire Moon Soapery’s success. However, I’ve encountered moments where my enthusiasm for collaboration led me to take on more than I could initially handle. These instances prompted a learning curve, teaching me the importance of setting realistic expectations and understanding the capacity of my resources.
While I have faced challenges, I take pride in my ability to pull everything together and deliver on commitments. It’s through these experiences that I’ve honed my skills in effective time management and project assessment.
