Shop Announcement:

Welcome

The Herbal Soapmaker will remain at Folksy! We will have small batch stock and a much more streamlined shop. Eventually we will probably be down to 3 variants of soap at a time and from now on we will be stocking the 100ml body butters only for my own sanity and because it was always the best seller. The salves will continue and the shampoo bars will also be down to 2 variants at a time which I will switch up from time to time.

Now for a little about our passion:
We have been making handmade cold process soap in small batches with 100% natural ingredients for nearly 20 years. All our products are safety assessed by an independent UK chemist and our expertise means you get a gentle product, kind to your skin with a luxurious lather. All soaps are cured for 3-4 weeks, are beautifully mild and are wrapped in recyclable paper. We also produce a range of organic lip balms, sublime whipped butters and drawing on our extensive knowledge of herbs we produce some wonderfully calming and soothing salves for troubled skin. Ginette has a diploma in herbal medicine and is always researching botanicals and their many uses. All our products are packaged in recyclable and sustainable material, planet kind - as nature intended.

Please feel free to contact us with any queries at theherbalsoapmaker@gmail.com. We love to hear from you!

The Herbal Soapmaker is proud to be a member of The Guild of Craft Soap & Toiletry Makers.
