Who runs this shop?

Hi! Awa-Piko Soap is run by me—M (she/her). I started this journey with a love for crafting unique, story-driven soaps that feel like they wandered in from another realm.

Along the way, I created a character: a weird, maniacal, slightly unsettling NPC soapmaker fit for a D&D one-shot. She wasn’t meant to stick around… but like any good lingering enchantment, she did. Over time, she evolved into something more—part muse, part mascot, and occasionally, part menace.

So I’ll let her take it from here.

✨🧼 Handmade Soaps for Curious Minds 🧼✨

Hi there. I’m Lye—short for Lysara Velrin. People call me "Lye". Soapmaker, small business owner… and, technically, a warlock.

I started Awa-Piko Soap after entering into a slightly unusual pact with a being known as The Glabrous One—a Great Old One, an entity obsessed with cleansing things down to their core. Think: less fire and brimstone, more smooth, shimmering void. Very minimalist.

In the Forgotten Realms, my soaps carry enchantments—some soothe, some reveal secrets, some even erase a memory or two. But here in this Plane? They just smell really good, look incredible, and cleanse like magic.

🫧 Awa means “bubbles” in Japanese
🎮 Piko is the retro “beep beep” of 8-bit nostalgia
Together, Awa-Piko is a bubbly, handmade blend of fantasy, fragrance, and a little friendly weirdness.

What you’ll find here:

  • 🧼 Whimsical, fandom-inspired soaps

  • 🌱 Vegan options (No Beastly Bits)

  • 🎁 Perfect for gifts, gamers, and self-care rituals with character

  • 🛠️ Handmade in Austin, TX—with love (and maybe just a touch of void)

So whether you’re here for the lather, the lore, or both—welcome.

Wash often. Linger briefly. Don't eat the soap.
And if something stares back from the bubbles… wave hello. It's probably fine.
