Sunnyhill Suds Maker

Our Story

I grew up a tomboy—hiking, camping, splitting wood, and swimming in the river. I was my dad's token "boy," as my sister and I are the last generation of Solbakkens in the U.S. Today, I carry that name forward through my small business. Sol means sun, and bakken means hill—together, they form Sunnyhill.

Born from a background rooted in growing flowers and medicinal herbs, my passion and curiosity naturally grew into creating. In 2020, when the world paused, my small business journey began with a simple idea: to reclaim calm in a busy world.

My handmade self-care products are designed to transform ordinary moments into pockets of peace and clarity. Every product is thoughtfully crafted to nurture both you and the environment. Ingredients are chosen with care, and each item is sustainably wrapped using minimal packaging.

Welcome to Sunnyhill Suds, where intention and purpose meet handcrafted care.

Did You Know?

About Lye in Soap

Did you know, by definition, all soap has to contain lye? A creamy bar of soap, made from lye, using a well formulated recipe is not scary or harsh. Soap is a simple, pure, cleansing agent made with a handful of ingredients. Lye is always the main player.

Solid soaps are made with sodium hydroxide and liquid soaps are made with potassium hydroxide, AKA potash.

The Power of Magnesium

Magnesium, a mineral often overlooked, but crucial for our bodily functions. Many of us are deficient in this trace mineral and unaware of its profound significance.

Why Magnesium Matters: Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical reactions, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and bone health.

Benefits of Magnesium Oil:

  • Promotes better sleep
  • Reduces anxiety
  • Relieves muscle cramps
  • Supports heart health
  • Helps regulate blood sugar

Bath Salts Benefits

All our bath salts contain magnesium, a trace mineral everyone needs:

  • Rose - for inflammation
