A love letter to the women who’ve grown with us.
When we started Simply Stated ten years ago, we thought we were creating body care products—bath bombs, whipped soaps, body creme that felt indulgent without being complicated.
What we didn’t realize at the time was this:
We weren’t just making products.
We were creating moments.
Moments of quiet in the middle of chaos.
Moments of peace after a long day.
Moments of joy, stillness, laughter, tears, healing—and everything in between.
That’s what you have taught us.
💛 What Self-Care Means to You (In Your Words):
“Love how light and freaking amazing it smells. It has the right amount of scent without being so over powering.”
— Paula L. (Signature Body Spray – Sea Salt + Orchid)
“I love the feel and smell! And it’s not greasy like some lotions can be! Love your products!”
— Caryn S. (Signature Body Creme – Warm Vanilla + Sugar)
“This is the best! Only thing that helps my son when he has been bit.”
— Ashley S. (Fight the Bite – Bug Bite Remedy)
“Best products for sensitive skin.”
— Kimber W.
We’ve received messages like this so many times over the years, and every time we read one, it stops us in our tracks.
It reminds us that self-care isn’t about perfection.
It’s not about spa days or bubble baths with a dozen candles (though we fully support those too).
It’s about consistency. Intention.
A swipe of body creme before bed. A scent that shifts your mood. A shower that feels like a reset. A safe remedy for your family.
You’ve shown us that self-care looks different for everyone—and that it’s all valid.
🛁 From Our Side of the Sink: How Our View of Self-Care Has Evolved
When we first launched Simply Stated, we believed in making clean, simple products with real ingredients. That part hasn’t changed.
But what has changed is how we understand the heart behind the purchase.
Now, when we create a body polish or pour a new bath bomb, we’re thinking about:
- The overstimulated mom who’s finally showering at 11 p.m.
- The retired grandma who starts her morning with a calm, quiet ritual
- The best friend gift that says, “You deserve this, even if you’d never buy it for yourself”
Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown—but we’ve grown with you.
You’ve helped us see that body care isn’t just beauty. It’s a bridge back to yourself.
