Soap Folk is a British skincare brand creating handmade soap bars using natural, sustainably sourced ingredients.
Made in small batches in the Stroud Valleys, the collection focuses on simple formulations, plastic-free packaging and everyday products designed to care for both skin and the environment.
Soap Folk
Handmade with Purpose
Soap Folk began with a simple idea - to create something better than conventional liquid soaps, both for the skin and for the planet. Founder Fiona, inspired by a love of traditional soap making, set out to craft products using natural oils and ingredients that transform everyday routines into something more thoughtful.
Each bar is made by hand in small batches, allowing close attention to quality at every stage. Using traditional cold-process methods, the soaps retain naturally occurring glycerin, helping to keep skin soft and balanced. This slower, more considered approach reflects a belief that simple, well-made products can be both effective and enjoyable to use.
Natural Ingredients
Low Impact Living
At the core of Soap Folk is a commitment to sustainability and transparency. All products are made using high-quality, natural ingredients from trusted suppliers, chosen to minimise environmental impact while supporting skin health. The range is palm-oil free, plastic-free and cruelty-free, with packaging designed to be recyclable or biodegradable.
Production takes place under one roof, ensuring full visibility over how each product is made and supporting fair working practices within the team. By encouraging customers to swap bottled products for solid alternatives, Soap Folk promotes a more mindful approach to daily care - one that reduces waste without compromising on quality or experience.
