Mater Soap

MATER LIKE WATER - MA•TER \ˈmȯ-tər, ˈmä-\

The Woman of Willendorf is one of the earliest artifacts representing the human body. Mater is the Latin word for mother. Mater Soap's goal is to honor both symbolic and actual mothers. Founded by Addison Walz in Brooklyn, New York, Mater Soap was born out of a dedication to utilitarian objects that quietly serve our daily lives. Her background in sculpture, natural dyes, and textiles informs the Mater aesthetic. Mater continues to expand its collaborative spirit by working with artists and other like-minded businesses.

Mater Soap offers a variety of cold-process bar soaps and organic body products. Keeping their batches small and handmade, they strive to perfect the simple yet subtle alchemy of soap-making and skin care. Mater Soap's appreciation for the minimalist beauty of traditional bar soap and the power of plant oils and extracts deeply inform their craft. Using 100% natural, sustainably-sourced plant ingredients like smoky pine tar, rose-colored kaolin clay, and salty sea plants, at Mater Soap they provide the bather with products that nourish the body and mind, enhancing the bathing ritual.
