A note from the Founder

I’m Ana — musician, mother of three, keen foodie, and concerned citizen of planet earth.
With a do-it-yourself attitude and a desire to learn, I started Oh Goodness in late 2018, initially focused on the growing plastic pollution problem — offering products that were plastic free, made with fairtrade, ethically sourced ingredients.
Since then, the scale of the climate crisis has come into ever sharper focus. After much experimentation, a year of formulation study, and many hours researching ingredients and methods, I’m proud to offer a soap range built around the concept of local: locally made, locally sourced, locally used. Soaps with a small footprint.
It’s been a remarkable journey and I’ve learnt so much — both in craft and in everything that goes into bringing products to market. I hope you enjoy what Oh Goodness has to offer, and thank you for supporting my small business.
