Finally, a truly 100% Handmade Soap Bar

Whether it's the plastic packaging, overwhelming synthetic fragrances or “natural” ingredients that aren’t really natural, the world of “natural” skincare is full of compromises.

Until now …

Truly all-natural, package-free, handmade with locally sourced ingredients essential oil soaps.

All-natural skincare that feels like liquid gold

After years of making all-natural soaps, we stumbled across tallow, and our line of rich tallow-based skincare was born. A little goes a long way to hydrate and nourish all skin types. (Bonus: every single ingredient is easy to pronounce).

Essential oil candles made just for sensitive noses

Looking for a chemical-free candle that you'll love to burn in your home for hours on end? We were, too. And when we couldn't easily find them at any stores, we decided to make them.

Our goal? Candles that smell amazing for hours on end...without any of those migraine-causing ingredients and perfumes.

Made without parabens and without phthalates, our all-natural soy candles and lotion candles are 100% safe for kids, pets, and humans alike.

Soap, Superheroes & Starting Over

A small-town soap story with a twist of legal drama and a whole lot of nature

When we first launched in 2017, our little soap company went by a name inspired by our hometown: Copper Soap Works, a nod to Copperopolis. While Copperopolis may not be a household name, to us, it always sounded like somewhere Clark Kent might keep a second apartment.

We were (and still are) rooted in this quirky, oak-dotted corner of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The land itself—wild, resilient, generous—was the muse behind our earliest soaps, candles, and skin care. So it made sense to name the business after the place that gave it life.

But as we grew, so did a trademark tangle we didn’t see coming. Long story short: Copper Soap Works had to become something new.

Enter Fig & Grove, a name that speaks to everything we love: thoughtful ingredients, small-batch processes, and simple, beautiful goods made by hand. It's earthy, a little elegant, and deeply rooted in nature. Just like us.
