hello!
My name is Rachael and I'm the owner and maker of Beauty From Ashes TX. I live in North Texas with my husband and two daughters. I've been making soap, bath & body products, and home cleaning products for over 7 years now.
​
Before opening Beauty From Ashes, I had owned a soap business several years ago while I stayed home when our first daughter was born.
​
Beauty From Ashes was started with one goal: to give my life fully to the Lord. I asked Him to change my heart so that His Will became mine. That I would surrender not only my desires for my career, but my finances as well. And with that, He answered. Not only with the idea of restarting of my old business, but to donate 100% profit to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
natural
I started making bath and body products for my own family years ago because I didn't like all the chemicals or ingredients I couldn't even pronounce in the ones you find in the store. When I decided to sell my products, it was only natural to me that if I didn't want to buy those products with those ingredients, other people probably didn't either.
​
I always try to buy high quality ingredients from reputable sellers. If possible, I do try to get USDA organic certified or sustainably harvested certified products. I do use fragrance oils. However, I only buy fragrance oils that are phthalate, sulfate, and paraben-free. They are also animal cruelty free.
​
Recycling is also very important to me and while I do use plastic in my packaging, I try to purchase the most eco-friendly wrap whenever available and keep all my packing materials for reuse in shipping.
scriptures
The most important aspect I wanted to incorporate into Beauty From Ashes TX was spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. One of those ways I mentioned above via donating to various organizations. Another, is including scripture on every product. I also include the scripture on the product page of the website (in case you forget or the label is too small, sorry sometimes the print is smaller than I think it'll be!)
​
Each signature collection (carried year-round) is a book of the Bible with a verse from that book:
Acts - Amber + Cypress
Esther - Lavender
Exodus - Oatmeal + Honey
Hebrews - Coffee
Jonah - Mint
Psalms - Lemongrass
Revelation - Frankincense
​
Seasonal collections have a similar style, always relating to the Bible and having scripture directly on the product. My one prayer is that anyone who buys or receives any of these products knows that only love was meant by including scripture.

Thank you for getting to know a little more about my business!
