Inspired by Nature

For Nikki Stein, it started with a love of all things lavender and a trip to Provence, France. While touring the renowned lavender farms she isolated the source of what she believed to be the finest lavender essential oil in the world. Returning to her families’ home in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Nikki began to create her first handmade soaps out of her kitchen. That day, Lavromá “The Aroma of Lavender” was born.

Handmade Soaps Are Simply Better

Handmade soaps differ from industrial soaps in that they contain an abundance of skin-friendly oils (what soapers call “superfatting”). And unlike most industrial soaps, handmade soap retains its glycerin, a natural by-product of soap making, which is moisturizing and gentle to the skin. Lastly, handmade soaps do not contain the harsh preservatives and chelating agents used in industrial made soaps to keep them on the store shelves for millennia.

Pamper the Body. Comfort the Mind.

Believing that natural scents and fats are the healthiest for our bodies Nikki shunned the use synthetic fragrances while refining her soap recipes. Because our sense of smell is governed by the brain’s limbic system, which also managed memories and emotions, it was only natural for Nikki to turn to aromatherapy, essential oils, and the finest botanicals available to create her soothing soaps.

Having long out grown the family’s kitchen, Lavromá found a new home in the center of Capitola Village. Nikki enlisted her husband Scott, who has also been known to make a mean batch of soap, to head the business side and smooth the transition. According to Nikki, “This is the perfect spot for us. We have a workshop in the back and a small retail shop in the front. We love the Village and what is most exciting is that customers will get to see us in action. There will be times when passer-byes will get to peek in the back windows and see us making our products.”

Always inventing, Nikki has expanded the line of aromatherapy soap to include candles, fizzy bath bombs, and solid soap scrubs.
