Colleen Trickett is a Botanical Chemist, Herbal Alchemist, and Master Soap Maker with over 25 years of hands-on experience in natural formulation and sustainable product development. She began creating soap and herbal body care in 1999 as an act of activism, a direct response to the waste and misinformation in the commercial beauty industry. Her work focuses on creating effective, cruelty free formulations that honor people, animals, and the planet.

Colleen’s career has spanned studios in Columbus, Asheville’s River Arts District, and Midtown Atlanta’s Goat Farm Arts Center, and a five-year retail storefront and teaching studio in Roswell, Georgia. Now based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, she consults with beauty brands and independent makers on clean formulation, ingredient sourcing, product testing, and regulatory compliance. She also teaches advanced soapmaking and herbal body care through online courses and live workshops helping others create products that are both effective and ethical.
