Locally sourced ingredients are secret to Siskiyou Soap Company s products
Siskiyou Daily News
A Siskiyou County mother and daughter duo have teamed up to make and sell unique soaps, which are available online, at farmers markets and at a booth off of Highway 96 in Happy Camp. Stormy Laflin makes the products and her daughter, Summer Butterworth, markets Siskiyou Soap Company and helps to sell the sudsy products.
Based in Happy Camp, Laflin has been making products for the past year using locally sourced ingredients along with a love and a passion for creating and making soaps.
Laflin said she finds the process calming and creative. She goes around the area and finds ingredients like flowers to put in her soaps.
Although guitarist Eddie Roberts wasn’t able to tour last year with his group the New Mastersounds because of the pandemic, he’s been busy expanding Color Red, the Denver-based label he founded in 2018. Over the past year, Color Red has launched branches in Japan and France, released music from acts around the world, started the Roberts-curated vinyl club Rare Sounds, and also has a hand in the Larimer Records Cafe, set to open in Larimer Square on January 20.
Since most members of Color Red’s team are musicians, who weren’t gigging because of COVID-19, they were able to ramp up things at the label. Over the first years of Color Red, part of the vision of the imprint was to release a digital single, Roberts says, but at times in 2020, Color Red released five singles a week.
