Natasha Byrd-Gaylon and Jennifer Peets partnered and launched Naked Bar Soap Co. in 2013. Natasha's family skin conditions were the catalyst for her to begin creating handmade soaps and crafting her own bath and body recipes. In the beginning she was only crafting soap for family and friends as well as selling at a few farmers markets. Jennifer was a huge fan of the soaps and helped envision taking what Natasha started to the next level.

Through their Afro Latina roots they shared a cultural bond as well as a love for all thing’s natural, beauty, and skincare. It was their goal to create a brand of natural beauty products reflecting a bit of Natasha's subtle sexiness as well as Jennifer's bold tongue-in-cheek personality. The Yin and the Yang is how they view their friendship and partnership.

The term “naked” means undisguised, blatant, and devoid of concealment. Our artisan soaps are made with a recipe of olive oil, coconut oil, and sustainable palm oil combined with dollops of creamy shea butter, rich cocoa butter, and exotic mango butter. We use pure essential oils and a selection of quality natural fragrance oils to craft our luscious scents. Our products are crafted in small batches. to ensure quality and freshness. Crafting soap is both therapeutic and holistic. We love what we do and it reflects in our creations. Our products offer a moment of relaxation, self-care/wellness, and a sensual regeneration of the body and mind.
