My name is Casandra, the nerdy soap maker at bookish apothecary. I create handmade soaps for book lovers and lovers of handmade soap.


I have been making handmade cold process soaps for over twenty years and reading for over two times that amount.  In 2019, bookish apothecary was established so that I could share both of my obsessions.


My hope is that my creations transport customers into the world contained within the pages of a favorite book.


The intention is simple: Stay nerdy. Not dirty.
