About
Yes, the name is a pun.
Hi, I'm Treena. Pourly Made is small-batch melt-and-pour soap and hand-poured candles, made by one person in the Spokane, WA area. Every batch starts with a pour, and not every pour goes to plan. The misfires get shown, not hidden, because that's how the good batches happen.
The story
From software systems to soap.
I've spent 20+ years as a software systems developer. Soap and candle making is my hobby, and Pourly Made started as a proof of concept built on it.
That background shows up in the process: tested, repeatable base recipes, consistent results, and no shortcuts. The creativity goes into the scents, colors, and designs.
Every product starts from a proven base (goat milk, triple butter, and a lot of beeswax), then gets its own scent, color, and finish.
The process
Four steps, every batch.
Base recipe
Start from a tested base.

Made in small runs.

For him
For him (usually picked out by her)
A big part of Pourly Made is made for men: bold scents, no-fuss bars, and candles that don't smell like a flower shop. Most of it gets picked out by the women in their lives. Either way, it's covered.
Watch the pours, fails included.
