Handcrafted small-batch soaps and plant-based skincare inspired by sculpture, textiles, and mindful living.

Mater Soap, founded by Addison Walz in Brooklyn, NY, handcrafts small-batch cold-process soaps and organic body products. Inspired by sculpture, architecture, and textiles, Mater celebrates utilitarian objects that quietly serve daily life. Using 100% natural, sustainably sourced plant ingredients such as smoky pine tar, kaolin clay, and sea plants, each product nourishes the body and mind while minimising ecological impact. Vegan and cruelty-free, Mater embraces the minimalist beauty of traditional bar soaps and the subtle alchemy of plant-based skincare.

Mater honours both symbolic and actual mothers, drawing inspiration from the Woman of Willendorf, one of the earliest representations of the human form. Each creation reflects a thoughtful balance of design, craft, and functionality, connecting artistry with everyday rituals.
