Pure, Clean, and Conscious: Our Story
Our soapmaking story begins in Ipswich, back in 2014. Suffering from sensitive skin and a lack of truly soothing soap, Andy Knowles decided it was time to get making and make a difference:
"I’ve been plagued by sensitive skin for my entire life, and have never been able to use many off-the-shelf cosmetic products.
After years of failed purchases, endless research, and frustration, I decided to delve into the world of making - soon learning to create my own skin and hair care products from scratch - including everything from soaps and scrubs to moisturisers and hair treatments.
Whilst my skincare challenges were solved, I was astonished at the cost of the ingredients needed to make these products. It seemed like every company out there was willing to overcharge as a result of their ‘all natural’ ingredients and labelling. I knew that something needed to be done, not just for myself, but others out there in my shoes.
That’s when The Soapery was born, with a vision of supplying people like me with the ingredients they need without charging a premium.
And guess what? That aim is now a reality. Shop with us and you'll never have to pay extra again.”
