Following a lengthy
advertising career in Los Angeles, Carol Lightwood decided to enter the artisan
soap making business and, after considerable experimentation and development, Pasadena Soaps was
launched. Her
goal was to create sophisticated soaps that are as beautiful to the eye and fragrant to the nose, as they
are gentle on the skin.
One of the first soaps she developed was in
memory of her grandmother, Dulcie Wynona, who loved rose fragrance. As a
little girl Carol helped Grandma Dulcie collect rose petals in her
garden. After the petals were gathered
some were dried to preserve color and fragrance and, then, made into potpourri
and sachets. Other petals were distilled
into rosewater. The fragrance of those
rose petals filled
Dulcie's home in the Columbia River Gorge year 'round. Today Rose Petals soap
continues to be very popular in the Pasadena Soaps Collection.
Carol Lightwood lives in Pasadena, California.
