Hello.  My name is Lisa Schweigert and am the proprietor of Ruff Paws LLC.  Though you wouldn’t know it by the title, I create skin care products for humans.  I live in rural Montana and my best buddies are my three dogs, AJ, Gus and Gracie. They inspired my choice for my skin care creations.

30 Years ago I started making soap on a whim.  I loved it!  Hand crafted, artisan soap makes wonderful gifts. Every year that’s what you could expect from me at Christmas or your birthday.    My friends and family said “You should sell this stuff.  It’s great!”  My response was always, “No, it’s for fun!”

Over the years, I became interested in healing herbs,  ethical foraging and gardening.  I took classes and learned from experts how to create salves infused with these nourishing plants. I have developed  soothing products that my clients love. 

Emulsions were my next project.  These products involve some chemistry.  I have come up with lovely lotions and creams that are neither greasy nor sticky yet hydrating and restorative.

Because of my desire to decrease the use of plastics, my products are packaged in either glass or tin.  That lead me down the road to create shampoo bars.  No plastic. Travels well.  And they are great for your hair!  Even color treated hair. 

So, my fun has lead me to my passion and  the journey to create my own cottage business.   Everything I produce is small batch, nourishing and made with love.  I truly hope you enjoy my products and look forward to hearing from you.
