About the Business

What they offer: V.R. Sudz n’ Stuff creates a wide range of natural, artisan bath and body products, including soaps, bath bombs, lotions, and more. Everything is handcrafted in small batches using ethically sourced, sustainable, and high-quality ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, and locally sourced honey and beeswax.

Unique approach or specialty: What sets V.R. Sudz n’ Stuff apart is their deep commitment to skin health, eco-consciousness, and ingredient transparency. They incorporate the finest essential oils and only premium phthalate and paraben free fragrance oils in scented products that are packed with nourishing, natural ingredients. Victoria also preserves the conditioning glycerin in her soaps, which is often stripped from commercial ones, ensuring your skin stays soft and healthy.
Beyond ingredients, it’s the heart behind the business that shines. Victoria’s dedication to making personal care more thoughtful, natural, and affordable is at the core of everything she does.

Their story: V.R. Sudz n’ Stuff began in 2015, born from a personal mission. After her daughter developed sensitivities to commercial products, Victoria began learning the art of soapmaking. What started as a way to help her family turned into a life-changing passion.
Years of market stalls, a storefront in Ontario, and later a leap west, Victoria now runs her Creston shop full time. She continues to grow the business through thoughtful experimentation, community connection, and a love for everything she creates.
