What We’re Creating

Dead Tired Soap Co. is a gothic-inspired bath and body brand founded by Christopher Dupee and Cassandra Ferrari in Vermont.

We craft coffin-shaped soaps, rare-clay masks, and luxury bodycare that transform everyday self-care into a dark romantic ritual.

Every formula is made from the ground up with premium oils and butters — meadowfoam, kukui nut, baobab, tucuma, mango — and rare clays like Cambrian Blue and Brazilian Purple.

Our scents are completely original, created in-house from individual aroma molecules and naturals into a proprietary fragrance grimoire of IFRA-compliant accords.

You won’t find them anywhere else — every fragrance is exclusive to Dead Tired Soap Co., built for both safety and atmosphere.

Our mission: to make daily rituals feel like spellwork — indulgent, safe, and unforgettable.

Why We’re Raising Funds

Dead Tired Soap Co. is fully formulated, branded, and compliance-ready — the final step is bringing production to life.

Your support will fund our first full production run, packaging, and online launch.

Your donation helps us:

• Purchase initial ingredients and black-glass packaging

• Set up workspace, curing racks and equipment

• Print labels and finalize design elements

• Build the Shopify storefront and product photography

• Cover essential startup costs like insurance and compliance filing

Every dollar goes directly into production and launch — not profit.

Why Dead Tired Matters

• Original Fragrances — Each scent is developed in-house, never bought off the shelf.

• Authenticity — No private-label shortcuts; every batch is our own work.

• Safety & Compliance — All formulas meet IFRA and MoCRA standards.

• Luxury Craftsmanship — Rare oils, butters and clays chosen for performance and storytelling.

• Immersive Design — Coffin bars, wax-sealed black glass jars and gothic typography.

• Local Roots — Created and produced in Vermont with sustainable sourcing.

A Note from the Founders

“Dead Tired Soap Co. was built on equal parts chemistry and creativity.

We’ve written our own fragrances, built our formulas from scratch, and finished the compliance groundwork.

Now we just need the push to bring it to life.”

— Christopher Dupee & Cassandra Ferrari
