In Youngstown, hard work isn’t a marketing angle — it’s reality. And we thought the products people use every day should reflect that.

The name Youngstown Grit comes from a line locals know well: “Youngstown grit, American spirit.” It’s more than a phrase — it’s a reputation. It describes a city built by workers, makers, and doers who don’t expect handouts and don’t quit when things get hard.

That mindset is the foundation of everything we make.

Youngstown Grit creates quality, affordable soaps and candles designed for real people — contractors, laborers, farmers, and anyone who appreciates a product that actually does what it’s supposed to do. Our focus is to create soaps tough enough to cut through grease, grime, and long workdays, inspired by hard work and made with care and intention.

We believe good products shouldn’t be overpriced, overhyped, or overcomplicated. They should be effective, honest, and accessible — just like the people of this valley.

Youngstown Grit isn’t about trends or luxury for the sake of luxury. It’s about function, pride, and respect for hard work. Built for the Mahoning Valley. Inspired by its grit. Made for those who earn it.
