Lovely shop with far more to look at than youd expect.

I stopped in today for a few last minute Mothers Day gifts. This store was too cute!! Their selection was very nice and high quality. Their soaps smelled amazing and are at a great price as well - I look forward to coming back again and again for these! I believe it was the store owner working when I came in today, but Im not 100% sure, regardless she was very friendly and kind. Overall, such a great local business!

Sammy soap is the best. I stumbled upon this gem several years ago after attending a benefit next store. The aroma coming from the entrance of the store drew me in. Now, many years later and many miles away (Florida) I still order the soap and have it shipped. If you havent ventured into the store, do yourself a favor and pamper yourself!

I love their soap! Staff is friendly & very helpful.

This place is simply fantastic!!! Unbelievable awesome aromas and the fantastic friendly staff make this a must visit if youre in the neighborhood. You wont leave disappointed.

I love this store! It is my absolute favorite. Not only do they sell environmentally-friendly products, but the staff is so nice and always makes me feel welcome. My favorite product is their shampoo bar. It lathers very well and lasts a long time (about 2-3 months, and I have long hair so it gets used up quicker). It works very well, never leaves my hair greasy, is easy to use, and they just recently changed the smell so it has a hint of orange in it. It is also much cheaper than other shampoo bars I have bought in the past. Their essential oils are also a great purchase and they are always adding new products to their selection, like the reusable dryer balls. A great store and a wonderful way to spend your money!

Suds and KindnessAs my birthday year of travel to celebrate the big one is coming to an end, I’ve pushed myself to find the unique, fun and educational places in America. My life became better when I stepped into sammysoap.Through the suggestion of another local shop owner, I found myself stepping through the door of a sudsy adventure. Of course, there’s soap here but not just any soap but natural, made by hand with real ingredients soap. Throughout the store a wonderful scent tickles the senses as so many things are present that serve any and every need. Besides soap, there are dishes, toys, ornaments and little trinkets that make a person say, “Oh, I like that.”This wonderful space was once the Kirkwood Firehouse No. 1 with some of the original features still in place, including the tallest bathroom in St. Louis. The best part of sammysoap is what takes place in the back of the store. You can tour and learn how to make all-natural soap while learning about the importance of vitamins, minerals and amino acids used in essential oils. Chris, the soap maker, demonstrated for example, how oils like wintergreen (really birch) combined with sassafras gives a root beer scent. Since it was the middle of the week and slow, I was the only guest and loved it. I was able to ask questions and learn so much about the making and curing process of ‘loafs’ of soap and cutting those into bars. I even designed my own bar of soap.The beauty and essence of sammysoap is the story behind the for-profit business. Her son Sammy, diagnosed with an intellectual disability at six months, changed Karen Copeland, the owner, giving her a new vision for her life. In fact, the shop was the catalyst for both she and her son to find meaning, thrive and grow. Other people like Sammy also help in the shop providing them with a drive to make their way in this world with dignity while earning a wage.I can testify to this wonderful soap having tried the orange patchouli which filled the shower with the most delightful scent without drying out my skin.Overall: Celebrating their 4th year in business, this gem is the best place for children or anyone young at heart to hang out for an hour to learn about soap making while having fun at the same time.

The shop was clean and people were very kind and I loved the soap. The store was a bit overwhelming smell wise but thats to be expected in a soap shop. The tour also provided a wonderful lesson and was very informative. I will be getting my soap from here now.

Knowledgeable staff and excellent soap. So many to choose from!

My mom and went in here get some information about face soap. The kind worker was very informative and gave us a little lesson about soap! It was awesome. We ended up purchasing two different soap bars. The Vanilla Almond Oat and I don’t remember the other sent. I have used it twice my skin has felt so good and smells very clean! Will be coming back for more!

Great products. Beautifully displayed. Nice Knowledgable staff

Such a variety of items. Local artist jewelry, pottery, and more. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about their products. Was able to find soap to help with my dry skin. Being a crafter myself, I felt the prices were reasonable. In fact most items of similar make such us their tea towels are lower than other places i have shopped. Definitely recommend sammysoap.

Great local soaps made with real essential oils and herbs as well as other small gifts for men with shaving needs and home goods

Great Selection of natural soaps!! The owner started this store for a great purpose, and their soaps are fantastic.I cant think if a single gripe when it comes to Sammy Soap.I have always been greeted, helped, and checked out quickly. Staff is kind and courteous.

Wonderful experience all around! Took my daughter in on her birthday. She loved the factory tour and the soap craft.We bought bars of dog shampoo soap and its amazing! I usually have to shampoo my dog twice, but the soap fully lathered in the first round, smelled great, and left my dogs coat soft and shiney.Will be back soon!

Adorable store with a great cause

Cute items, but unfortunately overpriced. I would have bought multiple items but the prices were just too out of line-even for a specialty shop in Kirkwood.But if youre looking for cute and unique items and dont mind the price it is well worth visiting!!

I really enjoyed your shop and all that you have to offer. Four stars rather than five is just me being honest. I was blessed with a very good sense of smell and the aroma in the shop to me was a bit overwhelming. But that’s just me, I can’t hardly walk down detergent isle in the grocery store, just saying.So I recently had surgery on my arm which I can’t use for thirty days. The biggest struggle I have is knowing how much shampoo I’m putting on my head. So I went to Sammy Soap and bought a bar of shampoo and my never go back to my regular shampoo. This stuff is awesome !!! I’m looking forward to trying other products.Thanks Sammy Soap

This soap is wonderful! I have sensitive skin and this is the best soap Ive found. How incredible that theyre committed to paying fair wages to their employees and still using the best ingredients possible. Normally us folks with sensitive skin get the short end of the stick, not with SammySoap! Thanks for all the great work!

Cool place. Wife and kids liked it. Be sure to take your kids to the back where they can cut up soap with cookie cutters and take home some fun-shaped (and free!) soap.

I LOVE SAMMYSOAP!! I don’t even know where to start with this review because this is such an amazing company. First of all, their mission is kickass and so important. They hire adults with intellectual disabilities and then pay them a fair and competitive wage. Awesome awesome awesome. They create amazing all natural soaps with minimal packaging so you aren’t creating waste by using their products. And let me tell you, their products are phenomenal. So far, I’ve used their shampoo bar, mosquito soap, and acne face soap. All of their soaps are absolutely luxurious and work amazingly. Lastly, every time I’ve gone in every single employee has talked to me like a good friend. They’re really good people selling a really good product. A+, 10 out of 10, 5 stars, would recommend!!

I love the mosquito repelling soap and spray! It smells wonderful and really works! They have a wonderful gift store that sells a lot more than their fabulous soap!

This is a wonderful store that has much more than soap! Wonderful gift items for babies, men and women. I bought two great little oil paintings, an adorable metal pigeon, a great looking ceramic soap dish and a bar of their wonderful soap. Definitely worth a stop!

Such a cute place! I loved the atmosphere and the staff was super friendly and told us about the store. We will definitely be back!

Excellent products, environment and staff

Using handmade soaps is an affordable luxury thats great for your skin. We love Sammi Soaps for the great formulations and also because they offer such a wide variety of scents, many of which are traditionally masculine and so work for all family members. Made in Kirkwood too!

Walking by dtkw, this place smells great!!! love going in and seeing all the unique things they have. soap is great too! awesome as decorative peices or usable soap. def going back.

Large selection of locally made bar soaps and other country chic homewares. Staff was friendly and helpful.

A variety of hand made scented soap and other unique gift items. I enjoy this shop very much.

Love this store! Very nice and knowledgeable owner!

Such a neat place. Always very helpful staff, and high quality products.

Such a cute store with so many nice and fun gifts

Wonderful gift shop & high quality product - if you havent shopped here you must

We took our homeschool group for a tour, given by Chris. Wow! This guy is great. Hes funny, super smart and absolutely engaging. The kids learned so much more than just about soap. So very impressed. The soaps are made with beneficial ingredients and scented with essential oils. The store is located in a trendy part of Kirkwood with lots of restaurants and shops nearby to round out any field trip.

Great selection. Great service!

I feel like the products are too overpriced. I love to shop local but $6 or more is too expensive for 1 bar of soap. We wont return.

Love the premise of this company and the huge selection of soaps! The soaps can be a little abrasive however we stay away from the ones with oatmeal now.

Fantastic variety of soaps. Very friendly clientele. They do tours too!

So nice to have soap without chemicals and dies

Very nice and knowledgeable owner

Haven’t been here in two years and just disappointed. Walked in and was ignored by workers who looked like they didn’t like their jobs. I miss the old girls who worked there. Disappointed my experience was not the same.

Love it! Very friendly and personable great style!

We need more places that hires and works with people with disabilites. If you discriminate, you can get into a heap of trouble!

Their acne bar unlike other brands actually does help achieve significant effect.
