About Us

We’re Tony and Gino, a father son duo who both grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We are both pharmacists who recognized men’s grooming products needed a total upgrade. So, we put our 50 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry to the test to develop a men’s soap that consisted of only the finest ingredients and essential oils with no harmful chemicals. Our goal was to create a line of men’s soap that not only smells amazing, but also thoroughly cleanses the body. We carefully formulate each bar by hand to ensure its quality, leaving no stone unturned in the soap making process. Our soap is formulated by dedicated pharmacists for men, to be tough on dirt and grime, but gentle on the skin.

Our fondest memories of family vacations and boating trips down in sunny South Florida inspired the name of our Soap company: Professor Manatee. We chose the name to symbolize our strong connection with education and to promote the awareness of the endangered Florida manatee, a creature often seen throughout our lives floating harmlessly in the gulf on family boat trips.

At Professor Manatee Soap Company we believe self-care is essential for every man. Our mission is to empower every man to become the best most confident version of themselves one wash at a time. The products reflect our commitment to quality and dedication to creating the ultimate shower experience for every man.

We truly hope you enjoy Professor Manatee Men’s Soap and thank you for helping redefine men’s grooming.
