You know that tight, dry feeling after a shower? That's not your skin.
That's your soap stripping it.
The Soapstress makes real soap. Handcrafted in Sydney from cold-pressed olive oil, mineral clays and pure essential oils. Ingredients your skin actually recognises.
The difference? You'll feel it after one shower. Soft, comfortable skin.
No moisturiser required.

Our products are thoughtfully created using cold-pressed plant oils, pure essential oils, and skin-loving butters and natural clays. No parabens, sulfates, synthetic ingredients, or fillers.
Most of our soaps are vegan, except the Milk & Honey range. We never test on animals—only on willing friends and family. Compassionate skincare, always.
All of our products have a 12-month shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For the best scent experience, we recommend using your soaps and body care within 6–8 months - this is when our natural essential oil blends are at their most vibrant and aromatic. As always, we avoid harsh preservatives, so fresher is better!
Yes! We offer wholesale natural soap bars and body care to selected stockists, spas, and boutiques. If you’re interested in stocking The Soapstress, get in touch with us here - we’d love to hear from you.
Because we use only pure, natural essential oils - never synthetic fragrances - there can be gentle variations in scent from one batch to another. Factors like weather, soil, and harvest time can all influence the final aroma of an essential oil, much like how wine vintages vary each year. This is part of what makes our products so special: each batch carries the unique signature of nature.
Currently, we ship within Australia. For international orders, please email us directly and we’ll see what we can do!
We take sustainability seriously. Our packaging is recyclable, minimal, and glass wherever possible. Our soaps and candles come wrapped or boxed in compostable and eco-conscious materials.
Absolutely. We love collaborating! Whether you're after a signature scent, branded soap, or a bespoke product for your business, we can create something just for you. Get in touch via email - let’s bring your vision to life
