Our Story

 

Hi!  We're the Parypas, the family behind Dirty Man Soap Co.

We didn’t start this because we wanted to start a soap company.

We started it in 2014 because we were trying to clean up our own home.

Like a lot of families, we started paying closer attention to what we were using every day—on our skin, on our kids—and realized there were a lot of ingredients we didn’t recognize, didn’t trust, and didn’t feel good about. Once you see that, you can’t really go back to ignoring it.

We wanted better.

Better products. Better ingredients. Simple, honest things we didn’t have to second-guess.

And at the same time, we were making intentional decisions about our family life—especially keeping mom home with the kids. That wasn’t accidental or just “how it worked out.” It was something we both believed mattered deeply, even if it meant living on one income and making things tighter in other areas.

So when we started replacing products in our home, we quickly ran into a very real challenge: better wasn’t cheap.

And on a single income, that matters.

So what started as a personal effort to clean up our home slowly turned into something more practical and necessary. If we wanted to live the way we believed was healthier and better for our family, we needed to make some of those things ourselves.

That’s how Dirty Man Soap Co. really grew—not from a business plan, but from everyday life, responsibility, and trying to do the right thing with what we had.

Dirty Man Soap Co. is built on the same values we’re still trying to live by:

- Family togetherness
- Faith in God and trust that He has a plan bigger than us
- Honesty and integrity in how we work and how we live
- Hard work—showing up and doing what’s in front of you
- And taking care of people the best we know how

We believe life is built in the everyday: raising a family, making mistakes, learning from them, apologizing, and trying again. Not perfect, just real.

That’s how we try to run this business too.

Everything we make is something we’ve needed at some point—simple products for real life.

Just products that do their job.

It works hard, just like you.

From our family to yours.
