WHO WE ARE

A small company with LARGE goals! That is how we describe it. Attorney turned soap-maker, Heather Aponte, is the creative being behind Let’s Do Hemp’s all-natural products. Soap making was not Heather’s first love, but it has quickly climbed the charts and become number 1! Of course there are other “Number 1’s” such as Heather’s husband and #1 supporter, Tony, and Heather’s daughters: Trinity, Tristyn, and Sofia, all of whom help in the soap-making process in one form or another from choosing scents to being inspirations for new soap lines to being soap testers.

ATTORNEY NO MORE

There is a lot more to life than suits, court, and clients. I found that out the hard way. I loved my job as an attorney and my role in life as an attorney; however, in the summer of 2019 a new passion sprang forth…soap making. It is true that I tried melt and pour soap first, just to see what all the fuss was about. I was not impressed by the way M&P made my skin feel. When I added the oils that did make my skin feel good, the bar was oozing oil and did not last long at all. 

DISCOVERING SOAP MAKING

I found several tutoring videos online, to name a few of my go-to’s: Royalty Soaps, Tree Marie, Thermal Mermaid, and more! My whole family started watching soap making videos and what started before breakfast as a education before we ate, shortly became a “train wreck”…not a mess, but what I mean is that we could not keep our eyes off the videos. It started in late-June and has become part of my life. Soap is intertwined in who I am now. My husband and I were so in love with soap making that we ran to Hobby Lobby and purchased some M&P and other materials. That was not as satisfying as the “real thing.” I then scoured the internet…WOW!…what an exhaustive experience. Stuff, stuff, and more stuff everywhere!

I am not kidding when I say that it was overwhelming (that is an understatement). I saw all kinds of ingredients, additives, methods, types of soap, oils, exfoliating choices, mica powders, liquid colors, molds, fragrances, etc. Did I mention fragrances? There are millions, I think. How to choose? It’s a tough job!

WHY HEMP?

Making soap was awesomely rewarding, but also challenging. I did pay attention in chemistry class, both in high school and in college, but soap making is a leap into chemical reactions and molecular bonding. AMAZING! Getting to the hemp…my husband got on the CBD bandwagon and he started taking daily doses of CDB, using CBD infused products (salves, lotions, etc.), There is a CBD/Hemp revolution happening, and we wanted to be part of it! But, how? In mid-2019 not a lot was moving for CBD and Hemp…but hope was on the horizon! The Farm Bill allowed Hemp (and CBD) to be legal. We noticed great benefits in using CBD and thought that using Hemp seed oil could not be far behind in benefits. We were correct!  I started out making soap with Hemp seed oil as a minimal player, but since have made Hemp the star of the show, so to speak. 

Hemp is in everything we do. From Hemp seed oil (in everything) to hemp seeds, hemp milk, hemp yarn, etc.  Since Hemp is becoming popular, we are able to find ingredients and supplies more readily, and that benefits both our product integrity and your ability to acquire hemp products without loss of quality and with loads of value, both monetary and in benefit to the skin. 

Please join us and start treating your skin to what it needs, craves, and desires….
