Where We Started

The Soap Works was founded in 1982 by Bob and Mike, whose skin was irritated (in more ways than one) by the low-quality, mass-market soaps being sold. They decided to do something about it. Using all-natural, biodegradable ingredients, they set out to make products that were as kind to people’s skin as they were to Mother Nature. Three generations later The Soap Works is a lot bigger, but Andy, Matt and the family still have the same passion—and purpose—as day one.

Our Environmental Commitment

From the very beginning, being eco-friendly has been at the heart of The Soap Works. We’ve always been proud of the fact that when you purchase and use a bar of our soap, you never have to throw anything away, and our soap naturally degrades into the ecosystem. It may seem small, but when something matters to us and our customers, there’s no detail that isn’t worth refining.

Our Process

The process of making every Soap Works product starts with high-quality, all-natural ingredients that are selected to meet a specific skincare need. From there, we use mill processes, hot processes and cold processes to saponify the ingredients, carefully adjusting our methods to preserve the soaps’ benefits and make sure our customers’ skin is left cleansed, soothed and free from irritation.
