Buff City Soap opens in Kyle
Buff City Soap is bringing plant-based soap and body products free of toxins, sulfates, chemicals and animal products to Kyle.
The business held its grand opening on Feb. 10 and features a bar and liquid soap, bath bombs, body scrubs, body butters, laundry soap and more, all of which are handmade in front of customers daily out of their in-store soap makery.
Products are also customizable, with over 30 scents that allow guests to customize the ingredients used and create a unique scent profile.
They will also hold soap making classes and parties, which are expected to begin in about a month.
Founded in 2013, Buff City Soap has since expanded to over 100 stores across the U.S., aiming to offer a high-quality alternative to commercial soap and disrupt the consumer goods industry by focusing on transparency of the ingredients and process.
“I am excited to bring Buff City Soap to Kyle,” local owner Billy Perkins said. “We really have something to offer everyone, and most people have never seen anything like this concept before.”
Buff City Soap is located at 5401 FM 1626, Suite 310 in Kyle Marketplace.
