About Tindall's Tavern HCG

Hi, I’m Rachel Tindall, the owner of Tindall's Tavern Handcrafted Goods. My soap-making journey began over 25 years ago when I had some spare time and wanted to try something new. Life got busy, and I eventually stopped, but I missed the process so much that I picked it back up 14 years ago. Since then, I haven’t purchased a bar of soap from the store. The rich, creamy lather of homemade soap and the peace of mind knowing there are no harsh chemicals is something I truly value.

When I started making soap again, I shared it with friends and family, but in 2013, I had the opportunity to start selling my creations. I’ve always loved experimenting in the kitchen with recipes, so I found a natural joy in creating unique soap and body care recipes. The possibilities are endless!  Tindall’s Tavern Handcrafted Goods was established in 2013, but it started out as Tindall’s Tavern Soap Co.

2023 marked my 10th year in business, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey. In addition to making soap, I’ve expanded my product offerings to include lip balms, salves, beard oils, soy candles, and more. You can find my products at select stores, such as Mr. Miller's Art Emporium in Douglas, MI; Magpie Tales in Mason, MI; and Kersh's Market in Germfask, MI (in the UP). I’m excited to continue growing and getting my products into more stores in the future!

When I’m not creating new products, I’m a mom to three wonderful girls (ages 20, 17, and 12) and have been married to my husband, Brett, for 20 years. I currently work part-time outside the home, and when I can, I’m busy crafting these wonderful products that I’m so passionate about.

Why Cold Process Soap?

I make my soap from scratch using the cold process method, mixing oils and lye to trigger the saponification process. This method gives me full control over the ingredients, ensuring that my soap is free from any harsh chemicals. I love that cold process soap blends science with art, creating a truly personal and rewarding crafting experience.

If you’ve never tried handmade soap or body care products, you’re in for a treat! Once you experience the difference, you’ll never go back to store-bought products. I’m proud to offer products that are as kind to your skin as they are to the planet.

I offer a local pick up option if you do not want your items shipped.
