À propos de nous
NOS PRODUITS – NOTRE ART
Faisant le lien entre le monde de la science et celui de l'art, Rainbow Cammo a été fondée par un chimiste passionné ayant une formation en sciences biologiques. Notre parcours a commencé pendant la pandémie sans précédent de COVID-19, une période où tout le monde semble avoir appris de nouvelles compétences comme la fabrication de pain au levain. Mais dans notre cas, il s'agissait de savons et de bougies.
Chez Rainbow Cammo, nous nous engageons à respecter les normes les plus strictes en matière de réduction de notre empreinte carbone et de minimisation des déchets plastiques. Notre engagement envers des pratiques respectueuses de l'environnement se manifeste non seulement dans notre processus de fabrication de savon, mais également dans nos choix d'emballage.
Rejoignez-nous pour célébrer l'harmonie de l'art et de la science alors que nous continuons à créer des produits exquis et respectueux de l'environnement qui améliorent vos rituels quotidiens de soins personnels.
NOTRE PROCESSUS
La fabrication de savon à froid est une technique éprouvée qui remonte à l'ancienne Babylone, où du savon a été découvert dans des cylindres d'argile datant de 2800 avant J.-C. Dans l'Antiquité, la potasse était utilisée pour son hydroxyde de potassium, tandis qu'aujourd'hui, les fabricants de savon artisanaux utilisent de l'hydroxyde de sodium (alias lessive).
Notre technique ancestrale implique un mélange méticuleux d'huiles végétales, de lessive et d'additifs naturels, pour une expérience de bain nourrissante et respectueuse de l'environnement. Notre parcours de fabrication de savon à froid commence par une sélection rigoureuse d'ingrédients durables de haute qualité. Nous mesurons et combinons des huiles végétales de première qualité, telles que l'olive, la noix de coco et la palme, avec la quantité parfaite de solution de lessive. Lorsque les huiles et la solution de lessive se mélangent, elles créent une réaction chimique appelée saponification, qui transforme les ingrédients bruts en une pâte à savon riche et crémeuse.
Pour garantir que nos savons soient uniques et captivants, nous agrémentons chaque lot de couleurs vives, de parfums captivants et d'additifs gourmands comme des plantes exfoliantes, des beurres ou des argiles hydratantes. La pâte à savon est ensuite versée dans des moules personnalisés et laissée à durcir pendant 4 à 6 semaines, ce qui permet au savon d'atteindre une dureté et une longévité optimales.
Notre engagement envers la méthode de traitement à froid garantit que chaque barre de savon conserve sa teneur en glycérine naturelle, qui offre un nettoyage doux et hydratant pour tous les types de peau. Grâce à cela et à notre engagement envers le procédé à froid, nos barres de spa durent plus longtemps et offrent une mousse riche et luxueuse, ce qui les rend naturellement hydratantes tout en éliminant le besoin d'additifs contrairement aux barres de marque de magasin qui utilisent des détergents synthétiques.

My Journey: from military to #SoapDaddy
enlisted from 2010-2014
After graduating from high school in a small rural town, I made a
decision that would forever shape my perspective and resilience: I
enlisted in the Marines, determined to push myself far beyond
what most people see as possible. I’ve never been one to take the easy
route, and joining the military during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” era
brought even bigger challenges—but I leaned into them, seeking a broader
worldview and the grit to overcome adversity. That sense of strength,
courage, and integrity has guided every step of my journey since then,
inspiring me to build Rainbow Cammo on those same values of intention
and perseverance.
Navigating Challenges and Finding Purpose (2014–2018)
I worked in credit and collections, sharpening the business acumen that
now underpins Rainbow Cammo’s operations. This chapter taught me
everything from managing cash flow to handling negotiations and building
resilience in tough markets. During the first Trump administration,
political maneuvering led to non-renewed contracts—when the Secretary of Education kept an agency she was personally invested in, I almost lost
everything. Facing that crossroads wasn’t easy, but it became my turning
point: realizing a greater purpose, I chose to return to school and
finish my degree in clinical lab science. That decision set me on a new
path—one that focused my analytical propensity with rigorous science.
This background in STEM is what makes Rainbow Cammo soaps stand out, the art is in the chemistry.
Graduated December 2021
In 2021 I completed my clinical lab science degree and then earned board
certification, laying a rigorous scientific foundation for Rainbow
Cammo. My first roles in microbiology and then blood banking sharpened
precision, quality control, and safety—skills that directly powered
cleaner, safer formulas. The pandemic sparked a creative pivot: while
studying, I began turning chemistry knowledge into handmade soap, a
hobby that grew into a business with a genuine science-backed backbone.
from basement side hustle to main hustle:
In the early days, Rainbow Cammo began as a basement workshop fueled by
curiosity, discipline, and a notebook full of experiments. Each batch
was a learning step, a small refinement toward safer formulas, better
textures, and richer scents. Markets and pop-ups became living
laboratories where customer feedback mapped the path from hobby to
business.
Over time, the collection expanded from basics to a fuller line, with
constant attention to ethical sourcing, clean formulas, and transparent
storytelling. Regular market feedback helped shape formulations,
ingredient choices, and branding that speaks to trust and authenticity.
The evolution culminated in a move from the basement to a dedicated retail
and event space at Village Gate. This step wasn’t just about a bigger
storefront; it signified a commitment to accessibility, community
engagement, and direct customer connection—turning conversations into
collaborations, and curiosity into curated experiences.
Throughout the transformation, the core values stayed the same: rigorous quality,
thoughtful sourcing, and a readiness to iterate. The basement days
taught resilience; Village Gate marks the stage where craftsmanship
meets community on a larger stage.
Lastly, authenticity isn’t a vibe for Rainbow Cammo—it’s the standard. I
realized early on that there weren’t any soap scents that truly felt
like “me” which is how the signature leather smells came to be. That gap became the mission: craft scents and
formulations that reflect a genuine, personal identity, then invite
everyone to experience them. Every bar and bottle is built to feel like
it was designed by someone who understands the power of scent to evoke
memory, mood, and place so every customer can find a scent that
resonates with their own story. This commitment to authentic experience
drives our product development, packaging, and the customer journey from that first sniff to daily use
don't take my word for it though, see what customers are saying:
Let customers speak for us
Great product. Miss the old label but the scent and quality are unchanged.
These were gifts. Well-received! I will experience them second-hand…
These are gifts, for the BF. So I’ll experience them second-hand. But they were much appreciated!
It’s very clean and solid and looks perfect with the multicolored soap
This technically isn't my first bead balm, but it is the first one that I love as it does not cause buildup or makes my beard crusty.
This is my second purchase from the shop and I absolutely love the No Shave November Starter Kit. No need to be a beginner, it is great if you are running low on products and need to restock your supply.
Probably my favorite soap scent so far, so glad I grabbed this one!
This was a gift. The color combo/swirl was well-received!
Skin is smooth and hydrated now :) Smells great and works great too! (& Malcolm is the nicest dude ever).

This was a gift. The Bears who got it were very pleased!
This was a gift for a couple of leather bears. They love the idea and the scent!
Malcolm is a Gem, also he's nice, funny, handsome and kind. Truly a passionate business man who works well with his customers and his wholesale retailers. His product is truly made with love and he takes great passion and care in what he does which is why his products are truly fantastic.
