About Us
Welcome to Making Matthieu ✨
At Making Matthieu, we believe in the power of handcrafted products to transform everyday routines into moments of joy and relaxation. Based in the heart of Louisiana, our small-batch soaps, candles, and wax melts are lovingly crafted with care, creativity, and a touch of Southern charm.
Our Story 🌿
Hi, I’m Garrett—the heart and hands behind Making Matthieu. This shop began as a passion project fueled by my love for creating things that people use, feel, and enjoy. I wanted to craft products that not only smell and look amazing but also bring a sense of comfort and calm to your day. Whether it’s the soothing lather of a goat milk soap or the warm glow of a hand-poured candle, everything I make is designed to help you unwind, relax, and feel a little more at home.
What Makes Us Different 💛
At Making Matthieu, it’s all about the little details. Every product is made by hand, from start to finish, with the highest quality ingredients I can find. My cold process soaps are crafted with a nourishing blend of oils like sunflower, coconut, and avocado, while my candles and wax melts feature luxurious wax blends that deliver long-lasting fragrance. No two batches are exactly alike, which means every item you receive is truly one of a kind—just like you.
I also test every product personally to make sure it meets my high standards for quality, safety, and performance. When you shop with Making Matthieu, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a small business that genuinely cares about your experience.
Our Mission 🕯️
My mission is simple: to bring a little more light, comfort, and joy into your world. Whether you’re pampering yourself with a creamy goat milk soap, filling your home with the cozy scent of a candle, or giving a thoughtful handmade gift to someone you love, I want you to feel connected to the craft and care behind every item.
Why Handmade Matters ✨
There’s something truly special about handmade products. They carry a story, a purpose, and a personal touch that you won’t find in mass-produced goods. At Making Matthieu, I pour my heart into every bar of soap, every candle, and every wax melt, ensuring that each piece is as unique and beautiful as the person who uses it.
When you choose handmade, you’re choosing to support small businesses, sustainable practices, and products made with love—not machines.
