Pure-n-Simple Soap

Barbara Palulis is the owner and founder of Pure-N-Simple Soap.  Barbara was inspired to start making soap after many years of being conscientious of her diet for health reasons, and found out that it is not only important what you put in your body, but what you put on your body as well that will influence your overall health.  She learned that the skin is the largest organ of the body and is permeable.  What started as just experimenting, making small batches of soap for personal use led to sharing and gifting family members and friends, until the day came when family and friends asked the big question Why Are You Not Selling Your Products!

So now several years later what started out as just a personal interest hobby developed into Pure-N-Simple Soap.The name Pure-N-Simple was chosen after much time in prayer seeking for the perfect name.  Barbara felt that the name Pure-N-Simple describes it all.  “We only want what is pure and healthy for our bodies, and it really does not have to be difficult.”
Barbara says she is very blessed to get the love, support and encouragement that she receives from her family and close friends on a daily basis.

Bob, the husband of Barbara also known as the Market Man, supports his wife by laboring many, many hours behind the computer making labels.  Occasionally you will catch Bob in the kitchen grating fels-naptha or wrapping soaps, but his real gift is working the farmers markets and festivals.  Bob is a natural salesman and a people-person.  Each week Bob will load up his vehicle after pulling a midnight shift at a nearby Hotel he is employed at, and will travel as much as 100+ miles to support his wife by selling her products.  There have been many times he mans the booth solo, while Barbara stays behind in the farm house kitchen making soaps.  He really enjoys working the markets and developing long term relationships with customers and other market vendors.  If he is not talking your ear off he is entertaining you with his talent in song.  Bob has a very energetic countenance and absolutely loves your company.  Make sure to stop by any of the local farmers markets Pure-N-Simple Soap attends to meet and talk with Bob.  You can find a listing of all of Pure-N-Simple Soap Markets and scheduled shows and festivals on their Markets & More page on the web.

Rob has wonderfully designed the Pure-N-Simple Soap web site, and has spent many hours researching and writing articles.  This has been a learning experience for him, as prior to Pure-N-Simple Soap; he had zero web building experience.  Rob really enjoys informing the customer and making the web site user friendly and informative.  “He is also our motivator; he keeps us going when we don’t feel like going.  He is constantly encouraging and helping us to set goals and focusing on accomplishing each one”.

Rob got involved in the business by being a user of the products and realized that the products his Mother was making were unique and high quality.  He became very passionate about the products that were being made and as he continued to research and write articles has found himself taking on the role of Pure-N-Simples Soaps marketer, customer service, researcher, writer, web designer, and basically Jack-of-all-trades.  Rob also contributes to the family business by providing all the wonderful herbs that you find in the Pure-N-Simple Soap products.  He has successfully put up his first greenhouse and has plans to build an herb farm in the future.  Until then he is selling his herbs at local farmers markets and building gardens.
