Our Story
Where artisanal craft meets the healing springs of Eureka
The Visionary
Karen Elizabeth Kirkpatrick
Long before Eureka Bath Works existed, Karen Elizabeth Kirkpatrick was already immersed in a world of fragrance, texture, and botanical wonder. Growing up, her love for crafting led her through countless creative pursuits—but it was soap making that truly captured her heart.
What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a deep passion. Karen became endlessly fascinated by the chemistry of soap, the artistry of scent blending, and the power of a beautifully crafted bar to transform an ordinary routine into a moment of indulgence.
Years of experimentation, countless batches (some legendary, some lessons), and an ever-growing library of formulations brought her to a pivotal moment: she had outgrown her home studio—and the world deserved to experience what she had created.
The Place
Eureka Springs, Arkansas — Est. 1879
A Town Born of Healing
Founded in 1879 around the natural springs believed to have healing properties, Eureka Springs has drawn seekers of wellness for over a century. The Victorian architecture, winding mountain streets, and artistic spirit create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in America.
67 Spring Street
In 2019, Karen found the perfect home for her vision: a charming storefront at 67 Spring Street, nestled in the heart of downtown Eureka Springs. The shop became more than a retail space—it became a sanctuary.
