Ethically Sourced, Natural Ingredients: Our Suppliers

Good creations are nothing without great ingredients - but what does that really mean?

Here at The Soapery, we know how important it is that we get things right when it comes to quality, sourcing, and ethics. With exotic ingredients flown in from all corners of the world, it’s needless to say that supplier selection is no small business.

In order to give you the very best - ensuring your bath and body products do good for people and the planet - we’ve committed to stocking only the most ethically sourced, high-quality ingredients. After all, they’re what us makers deserve!

Protecting The Planet

We’re well aware that the environment around us is the one and only source of each and every one of our natural ingredients - and are working actively to protect it against harmful practices like over farming, deforestation, and throwaway product production.

Our Soil Association Certification

Natural ingredients have stood the test of time for centuries - and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. As a natural ingredient supplier, we may sound a little biased when we say this, but we believe they’re the best thing out there for both people, and the earth. That’s why we’ve worked to ensure that as many of our products as possible are grown organically!

Like most ingredients, the oils, butters, powders, and decorations put into your handmade products are farmed or extracted from the natural world. Those certified as organic by the Soil Association were grown, produced, and harvested in line with strict EU regulations designed to protect and sustain the environment (including soils, ecosystems, animals, and people).

We’re proud to provide a vast range of all-natural, organic products officially certified by The Soil Association, and take pride in doing our bit for the world around us. Why not join us?

Empowering People

Our efforts don’t end at supporting the planet - we’re all about working fairly with its people too. Ethical sourcing is at the very heart of our values, and we’re proud enough to shout about it!

Supporting The Women of Rurah Ghana With Shea Butter

Our organic shea butter harvesting programme has empowered over 20,000 women across Ghana to stay in their local villages instead of leaving to find work in urban centres - protecting their futures and communities for years to come. We’re proud to have played just a small role in the retention of ancestral crafts and traditional ways of life alive, all whilst proving a source of stable income.

Backing Tribal Livelihoods With Mango Butter

It’s incredible to think that our mango butter sourcing methods support 7.8 million tribal people across more than 18,000 rural Indian villages. By investing in fair harvesting schemes, we’ve helped women develop training co-operatives designed to protect both income and forests, whilst securing their children’s futures.

Supporting Local Businesses

We are dedicated to supporting small local businesses and communities at our core. We actively search for local businesses and small businesses to working closely with.

Boosting UK-Based Businesses With Bath Bombs

Whilst many of the world’s very best soap and cosmetics making ingredients are found in the most exotic corners of the globe, some can be farmed and produced right here on our doorstep. We’re dedicated to supporting local businesses and boosting the Great British economy, meaning we source as close to home as possible, whenever possible.

Aiding Farmers With Imperfect Avocados

Our virgin avocado oil supports over 700 small-scale farmers, 40% of whom are women - but the benefits don’t end there. The vast majority of our stock is produced using imperfect fruit, for which we pay fair prices (by weight) - the ultimate in recycling!
