Woodside Bees Soap

What could be more luxurious than a fine homemade soap, tailored to your skin care needs?

Our soaps are made entirely from ingredients found in nature. There are no synthetic ingredients found in any of the soaps you will see for sale here.

We use oils from many different fruits and vegetables, including (but not limited to) olive oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, castor oil. We very occasionally make soap from organically raised animals such as lard or tallow.

We also use all-natural colorants such as alkanet, turmeric, beet powder. And, of course, all-natural scents including lavender, peppermint, patchouli, tea tree oil, lemongrass, eucalyptus, rosemary, and cedarwood.

You will see a large variety of soaps here, all with different ingredients that serve different skincare purposes. For example, coconut oil makes a nice hard soap but it is somewhat drying.  Olive oil is very gentle and adds to creaminess, but does not produce a particularly hard soap. Some oils produce substantial sudsiness, others less so.

You will find a complete list of ingredients for every soap we sell, and that list, and a description of the soap’s qualities, will be included in your purchase.
