Pamper Someone Special This Mother’s Day With Plant- Based Products That Make Your Skin Happy!
I
n September of last year, Knoxville got its own Soap Makery - Buff City Soap. Known for its fresh, hand-crafted soaps made daily in-store by local Makers, Buff City Soap has more than 25 unique and customizable scents across dozens of hand-crafted soap products, including its famous soap bars, bath bombs, foaming hand soap, and even laundry soap. Located in the Turkey Creek Pinnacle at 11277 Parkside Drive in Suite 516, Buff City Soap has created a higher quality alternative to commercial soap that is free from harsh chemicals, detergents, animal fats, and sulfates and full of nourishing plant-based goodies to make your skin happy! With every product being made in a bakery-like setting called a Soap Makery, customers are able to watch their products being hand-crafted right in front
of their eyes - giving them the opportunity to customize any product while seeing the whole making process live. “After watching Buff City grow from the ground up and becoming faithful customers ourselves, we knew it was time to get involved with the brand,” states Brittany Vick, co-owner, “We cannot wait to help grow Buff City Soap’s presence in Tennessee, and we are confident that the Turkey Creek Pinnacle community will absolutely love our array of delightfully scented, hand-crafted products.” Jessica Pace, also co-owner, echoes that sentiment by saying “Buff City Soap offers quality, handmade soap products that I believe in and stand by 100%!” Owned and operated here in Knoxville by partners Jamie Mason, Jessica Pace, Vince Sartori, Michelle Stokes, and Brittany Vick, they plan to greatly expand their Buff City Soap locations during the next few years. New locations recently opened in Kingsport, Tennessee in November and Powell, Tennessee, last December.
