Diamond G Forest Products, LLC's turpentine soap has been a hidden gem, known for its fresh, earthy scent, skin-soothing properties, and effectiveness in treating various skin ailments. Made with turpentine extracted from the very pine trees surrounding our land, the soap is free of artificial additives, preservatives, and fragrances. Instead, it relies on nature’s purity, offering an eco-friendly and affordable alternative to mass-produced commercial soaps.
For many years, we relied on word of mouth for our sales, which remained steady but never soared. That all changed in the spring of 2021 when an unexpected mention from a celebrity catapulted our little business into the limelight. Tiffany Haddish, the comedian and actress known for her vibrant energy and authenticity, has always been outspoken about her love for simple, sustainable products. In the March 2021 edition of People Lifestyle Magazine, an article titled “What My Life’s Really Like” was published, showcasing some of the ins and outs of Tiffany’s daily life. She shared her personal skincare routine, including a surprising tidbit: She washed her face with the same soap she used on her body—our handcrafted turpentine soap. The article highlighted her appreciation for our soap’s natural ingredients, which she described as "soothing" and "nourishing for her skin." Tiffany also raved about how affordable our soap was, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget.
When the magazine hit the stands, we had no idea what was coming. Orders began flooding in from all over the country—both online and from retailers who had never heard of our family business before. Our inbox was filled with messages from new customers eager to try the soap Tiffany Haddish had recommended. Some mentioned they had seen the article online, others talked about spotting it in stores, and many expressed their shock at how affordable our soap was compared to other high-end skincare brands.
At first, we thought it might be a fluke—a sudden burst of attention that would fade just as quickly as it had arrived. But as the orders kept coming, we realized that our business was experiencing something we had only dreamed of: a viral moment.
We quickly got to work, scaling up production while staying committed to quality and sustainability. The sudden surge of orders wasn’t without its challenges. Shipping delays became a concern, and we had to ensure we didn’t compromise the quality that had earned us our loyal following.
In a world full of quick fixes and artificial beauty solutions, we stand as a beacon of authenticity and natural goodness. We know our success isn’t just about making soap—it’s about sharing simple, sustainable products that people can trust. With Tiffany Haddish’s help, we reached more people than we ever thought possible. Four years later, we are still crafting this product daily! If you haven’t tried it out yet, add a bar to your next order!
You can find our soap on our website, Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. Give this great product a try!
