Meet the Artist, Cassie Kogut from Shower Tree Soaps

Cassie Kogut started Shower Tree Soaps in 2014 with an Etsy store and a booth at holiday craft fairs.  She creates vegan soap, bath and body products using essential oils and skin-loving ingredients like organic olive and coconut, sweet almond oil, shea butter and avocado oil.  She does not use animal products and selects high quality ingredients to make high quality soaps.
When Cassie crafts her soaps, she can make nine bars from one loaf. One loaf of soap takes her “three hours, tons of dishes and four to six weeks to cure” but the gorgeous soaps that result from her work are worth the wait.
“I’m inspired by fragrance to choose color and names,” Cassie explains.  “I do a variety of techniques to make the patterns, but each soap is unique.  You never know until the cut!” 

​Cassie loves living in Oregon where it is so beautiful and green and she enjoys visiting waterfalls and Lincoln City.  You can see those colors of Oregon reflected in the lovely soaps that she creates with such expertise.
