Who We Are
Interlaken Soak Company is based in Arlington, VA. Owned and operated by Amy Fromm, it all started with her love of a good “soak” and an article on how to make homemade bath salts. What started as a hobby quickly became an obsession turned business venture. All products are hand-crafted with love by Amy and tested on friends and family - never animals.
Our Name and Inspiration
The name Interlaken literally means between two lakes but I like to think of it as "where waters meet..." and was inspired by a place near and dear to my heart.I have the good fortune of having a family cottage in the beautiful lake region of northern Ontario called Muskoka - "the land of many lakes". This area is known for dense green forests and deep dark waters. Walk a mile through the woods in any direction and you are bound to end up in an ancient glacial lake surrounded by towering pines and shores dotted with happy cottages. Growing up I spent my summers here on a small lake enjoying carefree days on the dock and in the water and woods. This is my happy place. No matter where I am I can close my eyes and feel the sun on my skin, smell the fragrant summer air and hear the sound of the water lapping against the rocky shoreline.
These memories and images, small moments of tranquility and peace in the north woods, are what I hope to share with you. So try a little "Sunshine" scrub in the shower to brighten your mood in the morning or go for a soak in the "Moonlight" to unwind before bed and may you find some moments of peace and tranquility where the waters meet...
Sincerely,
Amy Fromm, Crafter & Chief Soaker
