The Origin Story of Zingari Man

From Necessity to Innovation – Our Story

Like many families, our skincare journey began with a need. After having children, my skin changed—I developed rosacea, leaving it dry, reactive, and sensitive. At the same time, our children battled eczema, and nothing we tried brought relief.
Determined to find a solution, I researched skincare ingredients and discovered the art of soap making. With my background in laboratory science, I became obsessed—experimenting, refining, and perfecting formulas. Soon, our skin transformed. My sensitivity calmed, our children's eczema improved, and I knew I had found something special.

2014, after two years of dedicated crafting, I launched Smitten Soapery, focusing on gentle, nourishing bath products. Initially, women's skincare was my focus—until my husband's shaving struggles caught my attention. Every shave left his skin irritated, his neck inflamed, and his beard dry and flaky.
Determined to help, I created our first shave soap. It was a game-changer. With each shave, his skin became healthier—soothed, moisturized, and free from irritation. What was once a dreaded necessity became a comfortable, effortless experience. Inspired by his results, I expanded into beard care, formulating products that softened hair and calmed the skin.

We started selling our men's line at craft fairs, and to our surprise, it quickly outpaced our women's products. The demand was undeniable. In 2018, we made a pivotal decision—Smitten Soapery evolved into Zingari Man, a brand fully dedicated to high-performance men's grooming.

With this transformation, we expanded our product line, perfected our formulas, and crafted fragrances that elevate everyday routines. Today, men worldwide trust Zingari Man for irritation-free, top-tier grooming essentials. Retailers across the U.S. and beyond carry our products, delivering them to customers worldwide who refuse to settle for less.
What began as a personal struggle became a mission: to redefine men's grooming with products that nurture the skin, enhance performance, and turn self-care into an experience worth savoring. Because when it comes to your skin, you deserve nothing but the best.
