Bob Henninger comes from four generations of Pennsylvania soapmakers, all dedicated to perfecting the art of handmade soaps. Some of the old family recipes are still in use today at Friendly Fumes, in the small batches we lovingly pour in our kitchens, nestled in quiet, rural Montgomery County.
Growing up around soapmaking inspired Bob's lifelong passion for fragrance. In 1992, he began developing this passion in earnest, studying the art of blending fragrances and perfumes for use in his handmade soaps. Friendly Fumes was born! We now offer nearly 300 fragrances that make our handmade soaps, soy soaps and soy candles truly unique, and a joy to experience.
Learning about the remarkable, clean burning qualities of soy wax, and the nutritive benefits soy provides skin, led Friendly Fumes to branch out. After experimentation, we hit upon recipes that far surpassed any soy soaps we'd seen. Our special blend of castor oil and olive oil resulted in luxurious handmade soaps with a rich lather, something we noticed was lacking in similar products. It also lasted a long time, even with regular use.
Soy is now a main ingredient in a wide range of our products, including soy soaps, soy candles poured by hand, soy lotions and shower gels, and even soy products for men. Our other ingredients are the purest and most health-promoting we could find--shea butter full of natural essential fatty acids, olive oil chock full of antioxidants, healing castor oil and more. Exfoliants like oatmeal or ground lavender buds give some soaps a gentle scrub. We still use the cold process method, so our handmade soaps retain their natural glycerin. What you'll never find in a Friendly Fumes product is a harsh chemical or additive. No parabens, sulfates, solvents or phthalates--just pure indulgent goodness!

The following is a reply from Friendly Fumes to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
