Charlene Simon is the founder of Bathhouse Soapery & Caldarium where she handcrafts soaps and bath luxuries daily in her quaint boutique just two blocks from Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs, AR.

Charlene uses the history of the bathhouse phenomenon as a foundation for her company which embodies antiquated rituals of soapmaking and modern spa furor. When it comes to creating a new soap or essential she is inspired by history's natural remedies, the aroma-therapeutic benefits of fragrance, and the astounding effects fresh fruits and vegetables, botanicals, and raw offerings from nature have on the skin.

To stay true to raw remedies, all of Bathhouse's essentials are free of SLS/SLES, parabens, and phalates. They are also cruelty free.
