Manos Soap Co.

Manos Soap started in 1940 when founder C. Kay Manos (Pantzis) and her mother, Anastasia, began making soap together in Santorini, Greece. Three years later, the family immigrated to Brooklyn, NY, where Kay and her mother continued making soap in the kitchen of their apartment. Soon their soap became a fixture of neighborhood housewarming events and mini-festivals, creating a bridge between the soap-making traditions of their home in Greece and the urban streets of America that would last for four generations.
