The beginnings of the Soap and Glory brand

In 2006, the first Soap & Glory collection emerged named "Clean of England" which was intended for men. Founder, Marcia Kilgore, was a businesswoman who had passion in body care products. Marcia wanted to bring to the UK cosmetic market interesting, quality cleaning products. Due to her dedication she is in considered a reputable cosmetic expert  who understands needs of the body and skin. It is no wonder as she is the founder of the popular Bliss Spa brand and beloved and comfortable shoes FitFlop. She also used her business experiences at the birth of Soap & Glory and brought to market affordable and quality products which lighten up any bathroom.

Who is Marcia Kilgore

She was born in Canada and when she was 18 year old she moved to New York. As easly as 8 year old she first come into contact with cosmetics when her sister plucked eyebrows into thin strips. As a teenager she began to have problems with acne so she started to look into the skin care. When she was 26 she opened her salon which started to be visited by stars like Christy Turlington, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz and others. Her services were not cheap and despite that her network of  salons was expandeding. In 2004 she moved from New York to London where she currently lives with her French husband and two children. After the birth of her first son Marcia did not want to return to the service sector. A new idea struck her about ​​creating a new brand that would be available and affordable. And so in 2006 she created Soap & Glory where she utilised her knowledge from the world of beauty.

Soap and Glory? Successful rookie

Soap & Glory scored at the beginning with a lip gloss which is now iconic. "Sexy Mother Pucker" became popular for its magnifying formulas that adds fullness to the lips. Shortly afterward their body butter "Righteous Butter" was elected as the best British body butter. Righteous Butter is enriched with shea butter and aloe vera to moisturize the skin. "Make Yourself Youthful" anti-aging peptide serum obtained a gold star at the beauty contest The Times beauty awards. Soap & Glory has placed the bar very high and every single product that followed was even greater.
