In December 2018, Jeff Medlin introduced Emerald Isle Soaps, a line of handcrafted, Beaver Island-themed soap. The announcement described direct island delivery for qualifying purchases, seasonal sales at a country stand on West Side Road, and online retail distribution.

Within the same thread, Medlin announced new designs and rebranded the line as Island Soap Works. The forum record documents a small-business launch and a brand transition; it does not independently verify product ingredients, quality, sales volume, or continued operation.

A follow-up announced new designs and a rebrand to Island Soap Works. Product quality language and the advertised prices and retail availability are preserved as first-party promotional claims, not independently audited facts.
