Our Soap Folk blog

This is our journey to making our new certified organic and vegan lipbalms.

We’ve been approached by several shops recently asking us if we would supply unpackaged soap.

Right at the heart of our soap is a generous glug of organic olive oil. It’s our single favourite oil and the one we could never give up.

Soap making is a rewarding and creative craft that results in something genuinely wonderful. After using your own handmade soap, you will be hard pressed to ever buy it again. 

Two new varieties of organic soap have joined our line up this spring. Warm and woody Juniper Berry and refreshing and uplifting Lemon & Bergamot.

Earlier this week, Soap Folk took part in the Natural & Organics Products Europe 2018 (NOPE), quite simply Europe's biggest trade show for natural & organic products.

Hurrah - Soap Folk has gained organic certification through the Soil Association!

In early March, we moved to a beautiful new workshop in the Stroud Valleys. Our new soapery is a calm and creative place to work.

Soap is mindful. Holding something physical within your hands makes you focus on the present. It is sensual. It encourages touch as it glides across your naked skin.

The sharp eyed amongst you might have spotted a butterfly on our Lavender & Oatmilk Wrapped Soap. It's an Adonis Blue, one of the rarest butterflies in England. 

Susie designs the beautifully printed wraps we use for our natural soaps. Her designs are the perfect foil and working with her is a joy.

The starting point for our peppermint soap was to create something that would suit everybody in the family.
