SaponiQ, a Richardson-based soap brand, launched in early October, said founder Sandy Palisch.
SaponiQ sells six botanical cleansing bars made from scratch at the company’s cold-process production facility in Richardson. The bars include plant-based ingredients like aloe and turmeric, as well as charcoal and essential oils.
"My engineering background taught me to question every part of a system," Palisch said in a news release. "When I looked at body care, I saw innovation becoming synonymous with adding more products and more steps. I wanted to apply that same engineering mindset to something much simpler: how much better can we make the cleansing step itself?"
SaponiQ products are available at the company’s showroom in its Richardson production facility or online.

Serenity Mental Health Centers
The clinic offers psychiatry, medication management, TMS therapy, ketamine infusion therapy and ADHD testing and management, according to a news release.

Tricia Pease, Serenity’s chief operating officer, said the Richardson clinic should help reduce commuting times for patients who may have been visiting the company’s other facilities in Frisco or Dallas.
“It's going to be great for some of our patients to have a clinic closer to them, as well as for people in that local area who maybe haven't been able to hear about us to get access,” Pease said.
Along with several other clinics in North Texas, Serenity has 37 locations across the United States.
