Superior Dry Goods is a small business owned and operated by Beth Scott from Eugene, Oregon. Beth has a Masters degree in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona. Her artistic background includes theatrical costume design, graphic design projects, and writing haiku in her spare time. Superior Dry Goods is committed to creating premium, sustainable body products and gifts using the finest ingredients. Every product we make combines these high standards with whimsical graphic design elements that borrow from vintage, retro, and antique ephemera. Our collection of balms, candles, stationery and more are designed not only for gift-giving, but also for treating yourself to the most authentically handcrafted items available.

At Superior Dry Goods, handmade means that a product is made by an individual who is self-employed or employed by a small business, and that the production process is done by people, not machines. This is not to say that machinery cannot be employed by an artisan who creates handmade items; this is the 21st Century, after all. Items handmade in-house by Superior Dry Goods include everything from the printing of our stationery, the designing, folding and construction of our card and match boxes, formulating and pouring our own balms, salves, and candles. Even most of our labels are made by hand (on recycled paper) to avoid using sticker labels. We believe the best things are done with care, and that philosophy applies to everything we do here.

We’d love that. However, in the global economy there is often a choice to be made between buying recycled products, or buying products made in the U.S.A. Superior Dry Goods makes every effort to source our materials from U.S. suppliers and manufacturers. The country of origin (materials and production) will be listed with items, when that information is available.

Yes, Superior Dry Goods can accommodate many custom orders for personal use, and wholesalers for re-sale (keeping our Brand on the products). Because everything is designed and printed or hand-stamped in-house, our templates can be modified to include personalization on stationery or product labels. Personalizations may be used for such things as weddings, anniversaries, holiday cards, or any other occasion that you wish. Please allow up to six weeks for custom orders. Many customizations can be produced faster than this, but larger or complicated orders will take more time. Please contact info@superiordrygoods.shop for wholesale and special order inquiries.
