What's so special about your soaps?
Our soaps are luxurious, natural, detergent-free soaps that cleanse your skin without stripping the skin’s natural oils.
I don't use soaps. I use 'soap free' body wash. Is this ok?
Unfortunately, people now associate “soap” with “detergent” such SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulphate) and SLES (Sodium Laurel Ether Sulphate). Our soaps do not contain detergents. Our soaps are real soaps, made with plant oils, leatherwood honey & beeswax.
Are the soaps suitable for sensitive skin?
Most definitely! We actually have many customers with sensitivities, contact dermatitis, even customers undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy who use our soaps.
Which soap should I use for sensitive skin?
Please check the ingredient lists to ensure you aren’t sensitive to any of the ingredients. We recommend the uncoloured, unscented soaps for customers with sensitivities and we recommend you always patch test first. You can find the full range of products suitable for sensitive skin here.
Yes, we use lye to turn plant oils into soaps, but here’s no lye left in the finished soaps.
All natural soaps are alkaline (pH higher that 7). More important than pH is how emollient the soaps are. Our soaps are “super fatted” that means we add more plant oils at saponification stage. This expensive extra step is to ensure that the soaps are moisturising, gentle and with no lye left in the soaps (all the lye is completely consumed).
Use our Air Dry Soap Saver to prolong the life of the soaps or keep the bar dry between uses. When travelling, pat the soap bar dry, put it back in the vegetable-wax lined box and leave the box open so the bar has a chance to dry.
Which soaps are the most popular?
For international gifts: Tasmanian Lavender Flowers, Tasmanian Seaweed & Green Tea, The Tasman Tasmanian Dairy Cream.
Otherwise, customers choose based on scents that they like: citrus, floral, or unscented, or based on the ingredients such as poppy seeds or calendula flowers. Explore the full range here.
