We've grown so much in the past six months, so it's time for an intro to welcome all of our new followers and customers!

Hi 👋 it's Ashton here. Maybe you stumbled upon my little shop in #fountainsquareindy or met me at an event, got referred by a friend, or perhaps you've been a long time fan of my body care brand @saltandashsoapco. However you got here, I'm so happy you waded through internet mud to find us.

When I picked up soap making as a hobby almost ten years ago, I never thought I would connect with so many people, wear so many hats, or open a STORE in Indy. At the time, I was in college and just thought I was passing through. Sidenote to just say that INDY, you stole my heart 🫶

In 2022 I opened a little 322 sq ft shoebox of a shop where I could manufacture, design, and sell my products. I curated a space for independent brands, local makers, and unique goods to complement my brand, and created Salt & Ash's HUB for pickups and online orders. Ten months in, we moved production temporarily back home and expanded the retail floor to carry more gifts, accessories, home accents, jewelry, and more, where you can find us 6 days a week!
