Our Story
Our story began when we, Amy and Cristina, sat next to each other by chance, and instantly started playing around like little kids. As our friendship grew, I (Amy) saw Cristina's kind heart, internal struggles, and sometimes tough attitude. One day, I made her two bars of soap, not thinking much of it. Of course, Cristina thought I was implying she needed a shower—though that wasn’t my intention! I told her I made the soap myself as a personal project, but she insisted I should sell it. I wasn’t interested in the business side of things, but Cristina was eager to help. That’s when we decided to join forces and turn our shared passion into something bigger than soap—it became a sisterhood.

Sensitive Skin Requires Sensitive Solutions
Amy’s journey to creating Claytonica started with her own sensitive skin. After struggling with harsh products that caused rashes, she began experimenting at home, determined to find the perfect blend of natural ingredients that would nourish her skin without irritation. What started as a personal solution turned into a passion, and soon she was sharing her soaps with friends and family. When Cristina, also prone to skin issues, tried the soap and loved it, she encouraged Amy to share it with a wider audience. With that, we launched Claytonica together—a brand born from friendship, shared struggles, and a desire to make high-quality, gentle soap accessible to everyone.

Purposeful Impact
At Claytonica, we believe in using only fresh, natural ingredients to create soaps that are both effective and gentle on sensitive skin. Every bar is handmade in the USA, with love and care. Our mission goes beyond just making great soap—we aim to empower others. As a women-owned small business, we dedicate a portion of our proceeds to supporting shelters for homeless and abused individuals. We believe that everyone deserves a great bath and healthy skin, but also a chance at a better life. Through Claytonica, we’re committed to kindness, support, and lifting others up.
