Fine Skincare from Silly Bean Soap Co.

The Inspiring Journey of Charlene Walker and Silly Bean Soap Co.

When Charlene Walker of Walker Farm in Prineville, Oregon, embarked on her journey into the world of skincare, she was in for an unexpected adventure that would blend her love for nature with creativity. What started as a simple quest to understand the art of crafting skincare products soon transformed into a delightful passion that captured the essence of her family’s farming heritage.

A Family Affair

Charlene’s inspiration stemmed from her farm’s unique asset: a small flock of East Friesian dairy sheep. These sheep are not only known for their rich, creamy milk, but they also became the cornerstone of Charlene’s skincare line. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, the Walker family was hands-on in the process, nurturing the sheep and milking them, knowing that this milk would soon evolve into luxurious skincare.

The sheep milk, packed with vitamins and nutrients, provided a perfect base for Charlene’s small-batch skincare products. The combination of her dedication, family teamwork, and the natural goodness of their farm’s resources produced something extraordinary, Silly Bean Soap Co.!
