On October 6th, Magnolia Soap Company opened a new location in 5 Points South at 1923 11th Ave S.

Founded in 2016, the Mississippi–based soap company has become known for using simple, organic ingredients in their handmade bath and laundry products.

The move toward organic soap products came in 2016 to bring relief to those suffering from dry skin and skin irritation caused by harsh chemicals used in commercial soaps. Now, Magnolia Soap and Bath Company oversees 43 family–operated locations. Other locations in Alabama include:

  • Mobile
  • Winfield
  • Tuscaloosa
  • Cullman
  • Huntsville
  • Florence

Why 5 Points South?

Patience McRae stopped working as a nurse to become the owner of the Starkville location of Magnolia Soap Co in 2020. Now, 5 Points South on 11th Avenue is her newest shop.

“I ultimately decided to choose Five Points South because of its history and anesthetics. I love the local, small–town feeling of the area being surrounded by neighboring businesses who’ve been open for decades.”

Patience McRae, owner of the Starkville and Five Points South locations of Magnolia Soap Co.

Almost all of the products sold are plant–based and made in–store by McRae and her staff at Magnolia Soap and Bath Company–they even offer a 10% discount to neighboring businesses! Stop by the Five Points South location for locally–made:

  • Body, face, and hand soaps
  • Shampoos and conditioners
  • Bath bombs
  • Kids products
  • Mens care
  • Laundry wash
