Vellum St Soap Company
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸
Nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, Vellum St. Soap Company is a boutique skincare brand that proves luxury and sustainability aren’t just compatible—they’re inseparable. Founded on the principle of "upcycling" high-quality ingredients, Vellum St. has carved out a unique niche in the beauty industry by transforming food-grade byproducts into premium, nutrient-dense skincare.
The brand’s philosophy is simple: if it’s not good enough to put in your body, it’s not good enough to put on it. By sourcing local ingredients and maintaining a strict Made in the USA production model, Vellum St. ensures that every product is as fresh as it is effective.
Handcrafted Excellence
Vellum St. is best known for its innovative use of tallow and other natural fats, which mimic the skin's lipid barrier more closely than plant-based oils alone. Their product suite includes:
Artisan Soaps: Small-batch bars that prioritize moisture and longevity, scented with pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances.
Body Butters & Balms: Deeply restorative formulas designed to heal and protect, utilizing high-quality fats sourced from local partners.
Exfoliants & Salts: Targeted treatments that use natural minerals and botanicals to rejuvenate the skin without harsh chemicals.
Lip & Face Care: Gentle, food-grade topicals that provide daily nourishment for the most sensitive areas.
Small Batch, Big Impact
What sets Vellum St. apart is its unwavering commitment to the circular economy. By partnering with local butchers and farmers to reclaim ingredients that would otherwise go to waste, they reduce environmental impact while creating a superior product. This "farm-to-pharmacy" approach ensures that every jar and bar supports both the local Philadelphia economy and a more sustainable planet.
At Vellum St. Soap Company, skincare is treated as a craft. It’s a return to traditional methods, refined for the modern consumer who values transparency, domestic quality, and a touch of Philly grit.
