What started with soaps in my farmhouse kitchen has blossomed into a full range of bath and beauty products, with new creations continuously emerging. No matter how we grow, our core commitment remains unwavering: to enrich people’s lives and protect our planet with naturally powered, consciously crafted bath and body goods.
Why Riverdance? For over two decades, the Skokomish River has been my sanctuary, reaffirming my belief in nature’s power to cleanse, heal, and nurture. Dancing by the river is my homage to Mother Nature, a celebration of her boundless healing gifts.
Join us in this celebration of nature’s purity and indulge in the art of self-care with our exquisite, handcrafted products. Let Riverdance, a Certified Women Owned Business, be your partner in embracing the beauty of nature and the joy of self-care.
