Store Hours:
We are based in Brockway, Pennsylvania, and we ship nationwide (USA). Our soap studio is located in a residential space, and we do not have a storefront or physical shop at this time for the general public to visit.
We are currently an e-commerce based shop and our handmade soap is available to purchase at various retail stockist locations throughout the PA Wilds (check our website, www.thewildbotanica.com for a list of updated locations). Contact our stockist locations for their store hours and availibility of stock.
Our artisan soaps are exclusively available at vetted stockist locations throughout the Pennsylvania Wilds. We encourage our customers to visit these small businesses and organizations to smell our soaps in person and support the local economy!
Our list of stockist locations at various vetted, local retailers and businesses is growing throughout the PA Wilds. We would love the pleasure of adding you to it! We are currently accepting limited consignment and wholesale contracts from local businesses in the PA Wilds that align with our mission.

Our Story
"Self-care never felt so selfless."
Who we are: A local, woman-owned, small, soapmaking business called The Wild Botanica.
What we make: Artisan soap inspired by the flora, fauna, and wild folks of the Pennsylvania Wilds. We use sustainably sourced plant-based oils and butters, natural colorants like activated charcoal and clays from the earth, and scent our soaps with essential oils and fragrant oil blends.
Where we’re located: Our small-batch, cold-process, rustic soaps are handcrafted in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, in the quaint, rural town of Brockway, Pennsylvania. We directly sell our products on our website, on Etsy, and on the Pa Wilds Marketplace. Additionally, we sell our products at various vetted, local retailers and businesses that align with our mission and values. Our list of stockist locations is growing throughout the PA Wilds, and we would love the pleasure of adding you to it! Contact us for consignment or wholesale.
What we want: Since its inception, The Wild Botanica’s mission has been to inspire people to connect to nature through self-care and conservation in a way that ritualizes the cleansing experience with soap and bath products handmade with natural and sustainable ingredients sourced from local and global communities.
