Kelly Bloom is the owner of Southern Soapers supplies for soapmakers, voted Supplier of the Year in 2007 by Saponifier Magazine. She also sells her soap on the BloomWorks Natural Soap Co website http://www.bloomworksoaps.com/

Kelly started making soap when she was 19, a poor Navy spouse living in San Diego. She started selling soap on Ebay in 1997 and built the soap side of the business up to a $69,000 a year ebay soap biz, leaving Ebay in 2005 when fees become to high. (She still maintains an Ebay VERO page with the ID of BloomWorkSoapCo.) Her primary soap method of choice has always been CP, with LTCP (Low Temp CP) as her absolute favorite. She pioneered the LTCP method (Low Temp Cold Process), and has a copyrighted article titled "Low Temp Soapmaking (https://southernsoapers.com/images/File/LOWTEMP-SOAPMAKING.pdf) that anyone can download & read.
