Gayle loves fancy soaps and as we were walking past Emz Blenz Soap Company, she was drawn in like a tractor beam. And as her husband, Resistance Was Futile! I'm only giving this place an "A-OK" mark because I found the person working here to be pleasant, yet disengaged and not all that helpful. It's not that Gayle and I require a lot of assistance, but it's usually a good sign when an employee shows a little enthusiasm about their product. And make no mistake, there is a wide variety of cleaning and pampering goodness here. read more

Emz Blendz Soap - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

You're the Best! The products smell great and I am going to purchase more. Glad you are here for us all! From Another Em read more

I found this place because I uh. Went to Shop N Kart for some rice cakes. Somehow I got sucked in to the oo! Lotions! Section. They sell Emz's coconut vanilla lotion here. It's thick, smells heavenly, and made my hands feel like babby. I promptly bought over a lb and wrote to Emily telling her how much I loved her product. She wrote back a lovely email and today my mother and I checked out her lovely store. We played with all the beautiful smelling (and feeling) samples and left again feeling like babby. Emily herself was there and was so nice and helpful about her products. I could have bought a million things! (In due time heh). It felt good buying products directly from the person who makes it, plus you can pronounce and understand all the ingredients. If you're not lucky enough to be down here in Ashland, you can pick up her stuff online on the website her husband created. A lot of the scents are Oregon (and Ashland inspired) and she started her business from her home. Check them out! read more

Tip for the Men- head straight for the shaving soap products. Their Organic Shaving Creme Soap is just awesome here. The Lemon Sage is my favorite, but I've had the others too and it is all good. You will, of course, need a shaving brush and one of those small mugs to get the soap all in a froth to apply to your face. And they have these items here, too. To the uninitiated: Shaving with a BRUSH is the ONLY way to go. I learned this 15 years ago when I discovered "Art of Shaving" products. I used to use this line (available at places like Nordstrom, and of course cost Nordstom prices) until I walked in Emz shop about 8-9 years ago on an almost annual pilgrimage to the Shakespeare Fest. Let me tell you, Emz shaving soap has that other brand beat hands down. After a good shave, your face feels super refreshed. Plus, it is far far cheaper and I've no doubt, way healthier. Of course, my girlfriend also loves coming in here. She loves getting all kinds of stuff for around the house and also stocks up on gifts for people. ***Bonus*** They have a really great bar of soap for your doggie that will make Rover smell terrific. We ALWAYS make sure we are stocked up on these. read more

This place is just heavenly! Everything is handmade locally. As soon as you walk in you're surrounded by beautiful products, and delicious smells! I also found the person behind the counter to be incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer my litany of questions. I highly recommend dropping by! read more

Emz Blendz Soap - Emz Blendz Peppermint Eucalyptus Soap Bars - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

Updated: After my first review the owner contacted me and wanted me to give them another shot. I am a big fan of second chances and supporting local businesses. I went in a couple weekends ago and bought some organic non scented soap for my daughter as she has a very strict soap and shampoo policy. (thanks UTI's!) The service was much improved. I was greeted upon entering the store and was showed the different products. When I let the sales associate know that I needed non scented soap because of UTI problems she showed me to the proper area of the store and helped me pick out a couple bars. I am pleases with the product and the customer service this time around. I will be back! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Poor customer service. The person that was working just stayed behind the counter while I wondered around. I guess maybe most of the stores in Ashland are used to customers just walking around, however you don't have to label everyone as such. I came in to buy organic soap and left with nothing. I went online and got some. read more

I love Emz Blendz's soap! My sister gives it to me for Christmas every year. Since I'm here this summer, I popped in and bought a bunch for some friends (and myself). It's such a high quality product. And the store feels so safe during covid! All we need is love and great soap! read more

I get to the area a few times a year for work, and whenever I am down there I make a HUGE point to stop in and pick up some pampering essentials for myself and my wife. Let me tell you, all of their stuff is amazing. Handcrafted soaps and bombs and such are like my wife's kryptonite. If I get in trouble, and make sure to have one on hand. I light the Herbal Lavender soy candle, toss a Sensual vanilla bean tub truffle and some Peace of Mind bath salts, turn off lights and hope I did enough!! The fact that this is all HAND made, and the store is locally owned and operated by a family REALLY makes it that much more of a wonderful shopping experience. The staff is amazing, and treated me with respect, it was like walking into a shop owned by my family. BONUS: I just saw on their FB page (which is what finally prompted me to write in) that they ship all over the world, I am pumped for this. Its like a get out of the doghouse free card!! read more

I love the soap! It lathers up super fluffy, is super moisturizing, and the scents are wonderful! Just bought 2 more bars. Yay! The scent options are great, and run the gambit from floral to spicy to musky and woodsy. read more

I recently discovered that the shea butter cream works really well on the face. As it's been getting colder, the daytime lotion I was using wasn't quite enough so I tried it and it worked wonders. It's not greasy and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I got a bottle to send to my sister in law! read more

I really love this town and I am thrilled to have found this boutique. All natural soaps, lotions, candles and salts. The young lady behind the counter was helpful and knowledgeable about the scents. It is not inexperienced however it is all made by the owner and the quality is amazing. When I pass through again I will make sure I stop in again! read more

I just have to tell you, I went to Emz Blendz store this weekend and got the mango tea body scrub and original herbal skin food! The mang tea scrub is soooooo amazing! I go to a tropical island for a few minutes, and when I return I have skin as soft as silk. And I smell amazing!!! Thank you Em!!!! read more

Have visited a handful of times while in Ashland. The scents are soothing, even walking into the shop from the street...just subtle hints of fragrances. Love the coconut vanilla sugar mask and the lotion I purchased yesterday. Used the mask at bedtime last nite, feels amazing! Love the little samples of goodies with purchase! Always a fun visit and staff is so helpful! read more

Great stuff! The Shampoo Moons are especially good for travelers (no more Ziplocs with 3 ounces!), and they are also sell essential oils, bard soaps, and bath foamers. All (*all*) made by the proprietress. read more

I buy lots of facial moisturizers but rarely buy the same one twice. These I am ordering again: Chamomile Rose facial cream and Rose Hip and Carrot Seed age-well serum. No preservatives that I can tell, small brown bottles--last about 3 months. Great for middle-age sensitive skin. Great travel sizes. I came across the Emz skin moisturizers while staying in a B&B in Ashland read more

Emz Blendz all-natural, hand-crafted products are wonderful to use and also make great gifts. My shelf is always stocked with Face Food, vanilla lotion, and Vanilla Rose Chocolate lip bliss. Also, the hand soaps smell amazing and last forever. read more

I love this place everything is hand crafted and so luxurious. You can tell that the owner puts a lot of thought into the products. The scents are heavenly and have great texture. It's hard to find natural products with this quality. I wish they had a store in Redding, CA but when I'm lucky I get to visit to try out new items. I haven't been able to find lotion this creamy and the vanilla bean is to die for. My favorite product is the vanilla bean and coconut facial. Smells yummy and I can feel it pulling all the gunk out my face when it dries. Most lotions with fragrance irritate my sensitive skin so it's nice to have so many options here. I've always been a lover of essential oils and Emz makes it that much easier. They really know how to blend different oils without them clashing together. Whoever thought lemongrass coconut could smell so good?! The nice man working the store even gave me a sample of the soap and also gave my daughter a sample of the tub fizz. Nice touch and shows their appreciation. So not only do I get great products but I also get to help support a great local business. read more

Went with friends this spring. The goods are cute, but overpriced, and it's very heavy on the food scents. Both of my attractive friends made small purchases and were offered a free bath bomb. When I went to do the same, the cashier knew I would also be expecting a special treat (the store is quite small, so you hear everything) and pointedly did not offer it. Will never go back. Addition: I felt moved to add to this after the owner's comment - what was insulting was my treatment at the store. I was there in April and it obviously stayed with me. I would think as a business owner one would be concerned with addressing that rather than attacking the review ("I'm so sorry you had a bad experience, did you know..., please come back and try us again"). That you handmake all the products doesn't change the fact that I had a bad experience, or that your products did not appeal to me & seemed overpriced. The one star reflects my experience. My treatment was not absent-minded nor random, but quite purposeful and insulting. He made a point of singling me out, we were the only people in the store. My friends also noticed the disparate treatment I received & commented on it after we left (and, ironically, gave me their bath bombs, since I was the only one in the group who uses them). read more

What a great soap shop! I love my bar soaps and I'm always on the lookout for the best, preferring those made with shea, cocoa butters, and/or goats milk. And it has to smell great, too. Emz Blendz soaps deliver. There were so many scents and a large inventory to choose from. I purchased several of the smallest bars as stocking stuffers for my sisters in CA (and one for me--Lemon Verbena, my favorite). I love the idea that I can share a piece of Ashland with them. It's easy to get carried away in a shop like this. I also bought a lip balm (Oregon Mint) since it's made with shea butter--a must for me. It feels wonderful! All products are wrapped so prettily; I would be thrilled to receive any of these as a gift. But for those locals who want to replenish their own stock and therefore aren't concerned with the packaging, Emily offers an affordable alternative of soap ends in a bag. It's a great way to try out a wide variety of naturally scented soap. Emz Blendz deserves five stars, two thumbs up, five flaming hearts, etc. read more

Having had dry, sensitive skin all of my adult like, I am leery of trying anything new on my skin. These products are amazingly kind to my skin and leave it feeling soft, clean and smelling natural. I find myself using way less lotion to moisturize and love the face soap as well as the body soap. Clean, cute shop is a pleasure to shop in. Love me some Emz blends! read more

I recently discovered this store, when a friend gave me a lotion and bar of soap as a gift. I am now well and truly hooked! I have incredibly sensitive skin and I get rashes very easily from lotions and other body products. So I have to be very careful when I purchase new bath products. Not only do these products smell absolutely amazing and hydrate my skin like no other product before...... I don't breakout. That is SUPER awesome!! This store is so great I had to create a yelp account to rate this place so others could read about how great a store this place is. The mango tea body lotion and sugar scrub are my absolute favorites. I call it my skin crack (lol). So definitely give this store a try. You won't be disappointed. Everything is absolutely worth every penny. Plus, I really like the idea that my money is going to an independent store where they emphasis quality, unlike a lot of other department stores or product lines that put all kinds of chemicals in their products. If you're looking for great skin care products that smell great, are organic, and leave your skin looking smooth and soft, please give this place a try! You won't be sorry! read more
