About Mountain Girl Essentials
In 2009, Naomi Murray founded Mountain Girl Soap with the goal of celebrating mountain life and supporting others in achieving better skin through sustainable, clean, all-natural, botanical soap and skin care products.
She is an active member of the Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild (HSCG) and has earned a certificate in Master Soap Making. Naomi also holds a Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation from Formula Botanica. Her passion for native plants has led her to distill her own essential oils and hydrosols, leading to the expansion of her business and a new name, Mountain Girl Essentials.
Today, Naomi blends luxurious oils with aromatic plant extracts to create fabulous all-natural products for healthy and vibrant skin.
She is a certified master soap maker and formulates soaps to ensure they do not contain excess lye (sodium or potassium hydroxide). Naomi holds certificates in Master Soap Making, Botanical Product Formulation, and Aromatherapy, and she is continually expanding her knowledge in the botanical skincare industry.
All her products use plant-derived ingredients and do not include tallow, lard, lanolin, or any other animal products, including milk or beeswax. Her products are certified vegan by PETA and Vegan Action and are cruelty-free certified by Leaping Bunny. Additionally, her products are palm-free.
