Our Story
Ponte Vedra Naturals (formally The Ponte Vedra Soap Shoppe, Inc.) opened its doors in 2001 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. In 2024, the company took on a new owner. A Florida native with farming roots in Molasses Junction, Florida (just outside of St. Augustine, Florida.).
Leah Bautista has been the Operations Manager for Ponte Vedra Natural's for many years, so when she was offered the opportunity to own the company that she had grown greatly to love, she jumped at it.
Not having a clue really what she was getting into at all, lol, but with the help of her Pa, and her 18 year old daughter, Seneth and countless other Angels and amazing clients by her side she took on the biggest role of her life besides motherhood as a BUSINESS OWNER!!!
