Norfolk resident Katie Smith has been using Nofo soaps for six years. She and her husband like the essential oil soaps.
“I like that you can recognize every ingredient that’s on the label, said Smith. I can order all of my soaps online, we do porch pickup, I can walk with my son and dog up the street,”
Porch pickup is just one of the things that make the Nofo soap company unique.
The heart of the company is with its owners, Juliette and Stephen Doyle who make the soap in their kitchen in Norfolk’s Ocean View neighborhood.
Nofo was born a little more than 10 years ago when Juliette was looking for a way to earn extra money but not be tied down to a 9-5 job. She turned to her faith for guidance.
“Lord just direct me I need to know something I can do, something I could do, with him, and that I wouldn’t get bored of but I could still be creative,” said Juliette.
