Handmade in small batches on Nile Street since 1997, this Nelson workshop turns out natural, cold-process soaps designed to cut plastic bottles out of the bathroom. The traditional cold-process technique retains natural glycerin, producing gentler, longer-lasting bars than commercial detergent blocks. The shelves hold solid alternatives across the board, from saponified and soap-free shampoo and conditioner bundles (\$34 to \$40 as at 2026) to a Box of Beer Soap (\$28 as at 2026), milk soap bars, bath melts, fizzbombs, and solid eco-friendly laundry blocks.
Visitors and mail-order regulars single out the charcoal soap for sensitive skin, praise the fragrance of the furniture polish, and rate the moisturising butter baths for soothing dry skin. They also appreciate quick order turnarounds and the low-waste, minimal packaging. You will find their fragrant workshop at 117 Nile Street in central Nelson. Our pick in Nelson for ditching bottled shower gels for proper artisan bar soap.
