About Us

Queen Soaps was founded by Rebecca Queen, a seventh-generation Appalachian American raised in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. With ancestral roots in German and Scots-Irish traditions, Rebecca was immersed in self-sufficient living from an early age.

What began as a simple lye soap cooked over a fire evolved into a 28-year journey rooted in authenticity and craftsmanship. Today, Queen Soaps continues that tradition-creating small-batch, cold-process soaps using pure ingredients and Appalachian know-how.

Rebecca also teaches traditional soap making at schools and heritage events, preserving old-time methods for future generations.
