The Soap Shed will be Closing

Over the past 12 years The Soap Shed
has become a successful business.

We are now in the process of retiring
and the business will retire with us.

Who knows what may happen in the future
but at the moment The Soap Shed will be
closing.

This year we have stopped making soap.

We will continue to sell on-line until all our
stock is sold.

We have valued all our customers and
appreciate your support over the years.

You have all contributed to our success
and for this we thank you very much.

Hand Made Natural Soaps, Shampoos and Shaving Soaps

The idea behind The Soapshed is simple. Using traditional methods we make a product that is of the highest quality and as natural as possible. We create simple, mild soaps, suitable for all the family, using a high proportion of Olive oil because of its skin friendly properties. Our soaps cleanse, moisturize and keep their firmness. They contain no preservatives and the method used to make them is highly efficient and waste free.

Our Sustainable Business:

In recognition of The Soap Shed's commitment to environmental good practice it has achieved accreditation to Level Two of the Green Dragon® Environmental Standard.

The Soap Shed has also undergone a Sustainability Health-check conducted by Synnwyr Busnes - Business Sense (SBBS) based at Bangor University. The Soap Shed achieved excellent scores in all three dimensions which must be balanced for sustainable development viz. ECONOMY (92%), SOCIETY (90%) & ENVIRONMENT (88%).
