Welcome to Expedition Soaps
We're Committed to Quality
Natural. A word far too rare in skincare nowadays. Skincare products are practically defined by how many harsh, unnatural chemicals they include. They prioritize saving several cents on a cheaper ingredient over the health of your skin. Your skin care should never be a compromise! Our goal is to provide you with real, luxurious high quality natural soap and skin care products that you can use every day.
We Are What's Real in Skin Care.
We are proud to state that all of our products are handcrafted by artisans WITHOUT the use of gluten, parabens, phthalates, formaldehydes, PEG's, sodium laurel sulfates, triclosan, BHA, petroleum, or retinol. Our products are cruelty-free, and our ingredients are not tested on animals.
When you use Expedition Soaps products, you are experiencing real, true quality skin care products.
You will reap the benefits of luxurious skin-loving oils, our expert craftsmanship, and scents so sumptuous they light up a room. From the very first moment, you will see why customers fall in LOVE with our brand! You can indulge in the creamy, dreamy lather of our soap, and the skin-softening silky feel of our whipped body butters, enjoy an indulgent, relaxing bath time with our bath bombs, moisturized & well exfoliated with our amazing sugar scrubs, and smooth your dry lips with our organic lip balm. Our products are made the way they should be - with the goodness of nature influencing every step we take.

Welcome to Our Workshop!
Our Story - The Expedition Soap Company
As a young, budding 14-year-old entrepreneur, Spencer Kelly founded The Expedition Soap Company in September 2016. It started with two simple motivations: He wanted a natural soap bar to replace the commercial liquid soap in his shower. And he needed to earn money to repay his dad for a new bike, after his was stolen that summer.
When his idea and motivation came together, Spencer launched an online soap company selling handcrafted, natural, REAL soap.
“You use soap. I use soap. The guy down the street uses soap. The President uses soap. Who doesn’t use soap?” says the now 24-year-old entrepreneur.
What began as a teenager’s solution quickly grew into a national brand. Expedition Soaps has sold across the USA through ExpeditionSoaps.com, Walmart.com, and other retail partnerships, as well as locally at craft and vendor shows.
More Than Soap — A Story of Perseverance
Spencer’s journey is remarkable not just because he started a company at 14. Spencer lives with Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. His daily challenges did not stop him — they strengthened him. He became an inspiration within the autism community and served as a guest panelist at USAutism’s World Conference & Expo on Autism in Las Vegas (2018) and Portland (2017), where he was seated next to world-renowned autism expert Temple Grandin.
Spencer is a public speaker and autism advocate who encourages entrepreneurial pursuits and independent living. His advocacy has been featured in New York and nationwide media. Philanthropy remains part of the company’s mission — giving back to the autism community and beyond.
Academic Achievement & Growth
Spencer’s determination carried into his academic journey.
In Spring 2023, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Oakland University’s Honors Business College with a BS degree in Accounting.
Meanwhile, his younger brother Grant Kelly had been part of the company since day one — starting at just 12 years old.
The Ownership Transition
In January 2024, Grant officially became 100% owner of The Expedition Soap Company. During his ownership, Grant led the company while pursuing his growing passion for digital marketing and online business strategy.
In early 2026, another full-circle moment occurred. Grant sold the business back to Spencer so he could focus fully on building his Funnel Building Marketing Agency — a new entrepreneurial path aligned with his strengths and vision. So, if you ever need help with digital marketing, be sure to reach out to Grant!
As of February 17, 2026, Spencer is once again the owner of The Expedition Soap Company. The founder has returned.
National Recognition
Spencer, Grant, and The Expedition Soap Company have been featured nationwide, including:
• Teen Boss Magazine
• USA TODAY (Weekend Money Section)
• The New York Times (Money Section)
• The Detroit Free Press (Sunday edition)
• FOX & CBS TV News
• Oakland University front page (2 weeks)
• OU School of Business Magazine — InSight

The company is also a proud member of The Orion Area Chamber of Commerce.
