💧 Why Choose Our Soap?
Our handmade soaps have become customer favourites, with many people telling us they can finally use a soap that doesn’t dry or irritate their skin. The luxurious lather, deeply nourishing oils, and natural essential oils make every wash a joyful ritual. Here’s what our wonderful customers say:
"I have incredibly sensitive skin, and I’ve tried so many soaps that leave me itchy and dry. Herbs on the Hill soap is the ONLY soap I can use without irritation. My skin feels so soft and comfortable after using it—no tightness, no redness, just beautifully moisturised skin!" – Sarah R.
"This soap is absolutely divine. I bought the Rosemary & Peppermint soap because I love Temple Balm, and the scent is exactly what I hoped for—fresh, herbal, and grounding. It feels like a little spa moment every time I use it!" – James M.
"My skin is very reactive, and most soaps cause breakouts or dryness, but not this one! I use the Sweet Orange & Geranium soap, and my skin has never felt softer. It lathers beautifully and lasts for ages." – Fiona L.
"I never thought I’d say this about soap, but this is luxury in a bar. The Olive Oil base makes it so creamy, and the scents are all so natural and pure. It’s nothing like shop-bought soap—it’s on another level!" – Rebecca D.
"I was fed up with soaps that melted away after a few washes. This soap lasts for ages! I keep it on a soap dish, and even with daily use, it stays solid. Amazing quality!" – Mark W.
"I started using this soap for shaving, and it’s incredible. It lathers up so richly, and my razor glides effortlessly. My skin feels nourished rather than stripped. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good shave!" – Daniel P.
"I love floral fragrances, but most rose soaps smell artificial. Love Roses soap smells like walking through a blooming rose garden! The blend of ylang ylang, orange, and palmarosa is just stunning." – Catherine S.
"I got the Cypress, Cedar & Juniper soap, and I love the rich, earthy scent. My skin feels so smooth and nourished, and I love that it’s all-natural with no synthetic perfumes. You can tell this soap is made with care." – Jonathan T.
"Mint & Eucalyptus soap is my go-to morning wake-up. It’s SO fresh and cooling, and it leaves my skin tingly in the best way. The scent is just beautiful and natural—not overpowering like synthetic peppermint." – Laura J.
"Lemon Balm soap is my favourite—it has such a delicate, uplifting scent, and my skin has never felt this soft. I even use it on my face, and it doesn’t dry my skin out at all." – Emma K.

Our most popular soap. Good for absolutely everything. The scent of late summer evenings and nostalgia. The amazing properties of this literally ‘essential’ oil are too many to name. This is a relaxing, healing, tender soap that is a joy to use. (Lavandula augustifolia).
Skin type: All. (White soap with lavender)
Our traditional hand-crafted soaps contain only the finest food grade quality palm, olive and coconut oils which combine to make a luxuriously smooth and gentle soap. All ingredients are wild crafted and are organically grown wherever possible. Every attention to detail and quality is given to each and every blend. It is our policy not to use any synthetic colorants, perfume oils or preservatives in any of our products.
Q: What makes Herbs on the Hill soap different from other soaps?
A: Our handmade soaps are crafted using a traditional Castile soap recipe, made with olive oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil to provide deep hydration, nourishment, and a luxurious, creamy lather. Unlike mass-produced soaps, ours are handmade in small batches, aged for months, and free from harsh chemicals, making them gentle on even the most sensitive skin.
Q: Is your soap suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes! Our soaps are specially formulated to be gentle, moisturising, and free from harsh chemicals. Many people with extremely sensitive skin who struggle with commercial soaps find that they can use our handmade soaps without irritation.
Q: What ingredients do you use in your soap?
A: Our soaps are made with natural oils (olive oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil), pure essential oils, and carefully selected botanical ingredients. We do not use artificial fragrances, parabens, or synthetic additives—just pure, skin-loving goodness.
Q: Does your soap contain palm oil?
A: No, we do not use palm oil in any of our handmade soaps. We prioritise sustainability and ethical sourcing, using olive oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil instead.
Q: How long does a bar of your soap last?
A: Our soaps are long-lasting due to their slow curing process. Unlike glycerin soaps that dissolve quickly, our bars last much longer when kept dry between uses.
Q: Is your soap good for shaving?
A: Absolutely! Our soaps create a rich, creamy lather that provides excellent glide, making them ideal for shaving as well as general cleansing. The natural oils also help soothe and hydrate the skin post-shave.
Q: Can I use your soap on my face?
A: Yes! Our soaps are gentle enough for the face, especially for those with sensitive or dry skin. However, if you have specific skincare concerns, we recommend doing a patch test first.
Q: Do you have matching products to go with your soaps?
A: Yes! Many of our soaps have matching bath oils, body mists, and skincare products so you can create a full self-care set in your favourite scent.
Q: What fragrances do you offer?
A: We offer a wide range of scents to suit every preference:
Q: Do your soaps have strong fragrances?
A: Our soaps are naturally scented with pure essential oils, providing a beautiful, natural aroma without artificial perfumes or overpowering synthetic fragrances.
Q: Are your soaps coloured?
A: We do not use artificial dyes. Any colour comes naturally from the botanical ingredients, essential oils, or natural additions such as cocoa powder in our Cinnamon Spice soap.
Q: How is your soap made?
A: We use a traditional cold-process method, allowing the soap to naturally saponify over two weeks before curing for several months. This extended process ensures a hard, long-lasting bar full of natural goodness.
Q: How is your soap different from glycerin soap?
A: Unlike glycerin soaps, which are often made in minutes and can dry out the skin, our soap takes months to cure and is rich in nourishing oils. Glycerin soaps tend to dissolve quickly and lack the deep hydration that olive, coconut, and grapeseed oil provide.
Q: Is your soap vegan?
A: Yes! Our soaps are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, made only with plant-based oils and essential oils.
Q: Can I try a sample before buying?
A: Yes! We offer free soap samples in our shop, so you can experience the feel and fragrance before purchasing.
Q: Do you sell your soap online?
A: Yes! You can order through our website and have your favourite handmade soap delivered straight to your door.
Q: Do you offer gift sets?
A: Yes! Many of our soaps have matching products, and we offer beautifully curated gift sets perfect for birthdays, holidays, or self-care treats.

🌟 Why Our Soap Stands Out
Unlike glycerin soaps, which can often dry out the skin due to their higher water content and lack of nourishing oils, our handmade soap is formulated to nourish and protect. Glycerin soaps are typically made in minutes, but our soap takes months to perfect. After a two-week saponification process, we allow the bars to age and cure for several months, creating a luxuriously hard, long-lasting bar that doesn’t dissolve quickly like glycerin-based alternatives. With its rich, creamy lather, our soap is perfect for shaving or treating your skin to a refreshing, moisturising cleanse.
🎁 Create the Perfect Set
Many of our soaps have matching products, from bath oils to mists, allowing you to create the perfect set for yourself or as a thoughtful gift. Pair your favourite soap with a complementary product for a complete sensory experience.
🏡 Handmade in the UK
Every bar is handcrafted, cured for two weeks, and aged for months to create a truly premium product.
