Our journey began with a deeply personal story, one rooted in resilience, hardship, and the discovery of self-care as a vital refuge.
From Uncertainty to Calm
The Birth of Encefalo
When Javier was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, he and his wife, Elizabeth found themselves facing overwhelming uncertainty and emotional strain. Amidst this difficult time, Elizabeth discovered a rare source of comfort: a handmade soap bar gifted by her mother. That simple bar became much more than soap—it became a brief moment of calm, a way to wash away fear and embrace a small but powerful act of self-care.
Where Calm Begins, Clarity Follows
That experience led them to create Encefalo Beauty. Named after the part of the brain where thoughts are born, Encefalo reflects the mental clarity and emotional wellness we strive to promote. Each of our handcrafted soap bars is more than just a product—it’s a reminder that even in the hardest times, peace can be found in everyday rituals.
Nature's Harmony in Every Bar
We carefully blend natural, therapeutic ingredients like lavender, rosemary, and other calming botanicals to create luxurious, soothing soaps that nurture both body and mind. Every bar is designed to elevate your self-care routine into a mindful, rejuvenating experience, giving you a moment of calm in your busy day.
