The Old Town Soap Company 2820 Historic Decatur Road, San Diego, CA 92106

"I purchased several soaps from The Old Town Soap Company. Living with rheumatoid arthritis, I was drawn to soaps with anti-inflammatory properties. I am convinced that the handmade soaps from TOTSC have contributed to my health improvement. I have been using these soaps since summer 2023 and will continue using them as long as they make them. I haven’t had a flare up since last summer. I highly recommend the soaps to anyone dealing with an autoimmune illness. Besides the natural properties, I love the fact the my skin is not super dry after use. Also, the owner Ernestine and her staff give excellent customer service. When describing what I was looking for, they take the time to explain and also give you a card with the soap elements and properties in case you forget."

"Ernestine is the best. She spent ample time showing me around the store and explaining all the different types of soaps and scents, and what the various oils are for. She advised me to buy eucalyptus and I am so happy with it as it’s all natural and handmade. I look forward to washing my hands each morning! This is such a cute store in a great location and the service is top notch."

"If you are looking for great soap and a super great owner who goes out of her way to please her customers you have to go to The Old Town Soap Company and meet Ernestine Brown. I was out there visiting my daughter last August and we stopped into her shop. We chatted a long time and I feel like I not only got the best soap but gained a very good friend. I live in North Carolina, Ernestine shipped me a loaf of my Favorite soap(Peppermint Coffee), free shipping and I received it in under a week. I have tried other home made soap but wasn't impressed. After using Ernestines soap I'm hooked and will never use any other soap. This stuff makes me feel clean and my skin is super soft. Thanks again to Ernestine Brown and her company for making this old mans skin from leather to silky smooth. You can't go wrong by going by The Old Town Soap Company to purchase Soap or just chatting to Ernestine about her products. Thanks again Terry"

"I love this shop! Not only do the products smell amazing, they make my skin feel wonderful. The business is owned by Ernestine, a black female navy veteran entrepreneur who is an absolute doll. Her soap making skills are exceptional and her superb customer service skills are off the charts. Her knowledge of all the natural ingredients she uses is impressive. I highly recommend shopping here. You won't be disappointed!"

"I love this local shop! They offer the best handmade soaps and body products made with shea butter and other natural ingredients. The owner is so nice and I love that it’s a family run business. ❤️"
