Sustainability

"At Soap Folk, we create beautiful handmade products, designed to be used and loved. We always aim to work in the best interests of people and the planet, inspired by our core values of creativity and kindness"

We are so lucky to be based in the beautiful Stroud Valleys surrounded by National Trust common land. This close relationshop with our natural landscape inspires us to our very best as a business to look after it.

Our Values

Use certified organic ingredients in our skincare products whereever possible
Prioritise local suppliers and producers to cut our carbon footprint
Work only with natural, biodegrable ingredients
Avoid all use of Palm oil and its derivatives
Follow the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle across the product lifecyle

New Sustainable Ways of Working

Walking the walk (and cycling too)

We use The Bike Drop, a social enterprice courier service for our local wholesale and direct orders.

Cutting down on single use plastic

We made five new plastic free swaps in the workshop and were awarded a Plastic Free Champion Award by Stroud District Action on Plastic on behalf of Surfers Against Sewage

Aiming for a zero waste Soapery

We have been doing all we can to eliminate waste in the workshop - these offcuts are turned into our retailers sample packs
