The Soap Kitchen

After nearly 2 decades in Old Pasadena, we’ve decided to move online only! See you on our website! Rest assured, we never use animal fats of any kind.

Each and every bar is handmade from scratch in our onsite kitchen, where we’ve been serving up fresh, all natural olive oil soap for nearly two decades, but who's counting? We use only the finest essential oils and herbs, so the end product is hydrating for the skin, healthy for the body, and never overwhelming to the nose. Here’s your chance to experience pure indulgence with zero guilt!

Here’s a treat for you. No tricks! Enjoy 15% off through Monday with code WONDERFALL online only. Perfect time to try our latest creation, Goji Citralyptus in both smooth & creamy or super scrubby. These have been flying off the shelves since we released them, so grab yours now or you’ll have to wait an entire month for the next batch to cure! We made an emergency 💯 pound batch late last night because at this rate, it looks like we’ll need more to get us through the holiday season! The best soaps take time, but it’s SO worth the wait!

10/22/2023

The results are in! 55% for team scrubby and 45% for team smooth. The good news is, we’ve got you both covered with our newest flavor, Goji Citralyptus! Yes, we made that up, and it’s our latest obsession with an addictive blend of lemongrass, eucalyptus, peppermint and tea tree. The beautiful color comes from the wonderful superfood, goji berries! Tap on the photo to shop both the smooth and scrubby versions. We hope you love them as much as we do! 🧼💕

Soaprise Announcement! After nearly two decades in Old Pasadena, the time has finally come to allow our lease to expire and transition to online only. The last day for in-store shopping is Sunday, June 18 (Father's Day), so please come see us before then! But don't forget we're closed Mondays & Tuesdays.

We'll still be in Pasadena and offer local deliveries like we have since the pandemic, but we won't have a retail location after June 18. We plan to hold pop-ups during the holidays and possibly offer more hands-on workshops, so stay tuned!

We promise we won't stop making the best soaps with only the best ingredients for you and your loved ones. Our new production space is coming along nicely, and we can't wait to start making tons of soap again! We'll be sure to share some pics and videos soon.

My mom and I will truly miss seeing your beautiful faces in our shop, but we hope you'll continue to support our small business like you have for the past 20 years. We can't thank you enough for these amazing years, and we're looking forward to many more with you!

Soaplessly Devoted,
Dali & Mom

Happy Sunday! This is what 180 pounds of all natural solid shampoo looks like, right out of the molds. From here, we cut into loaves and cure for 3 weeks. Our latest lineup includes 2 new flavors! Goji Wild Citrus and Firbena Nettle (actual names TBA). If you have any ideas on the names, please comment! After many months of testing out our new flavors (thanks to our family of faithful testers. You know who you are!), I believe we’ve finally hit the sweet spot. Super luxurious lather with a nice clean rinse.

If you haven’t switched to plastic free shampoo, what are you waiting for? We also make an acidic finishing rinse that pairs perfectly with these bars to balance the pH. Diluted apple cider vinegar or lemon juice also does the trick. It might take a little time for your hair to adjust to all natural shampoo bars, but it’s so worth the effort! Once you’ve made it to the other side, you’ll never want to go back to silicone shampoos that lead to excessive product build-up, drier strands, and more breakage over time.

If you’ve made it this far, you deserve a treat! Use code SOAPFUL for a sweet discount at checkout. Or come on in! We’re now open Wednesday through Sunday, except major holidays. It’s been great to see so many of you back inside our little soap shop!🧼

09/30/2022

🍂 Fall Into the Weekend With 15% Off! Use code: FALLSAVINGS at checkout or simply mention the code in-store. Perfect time to stock up on your favorites! Now OPEN Wednesday through Sunday 12noon - 5pm (closed Mondays & Tuesdays). Come on by! We can't wait to see you back in the shop again. 🍂

Did anybody catch us on Huell Howser’s California’s Gold on ? Here he was just about to pour the essential oils for 100 pound of our Lemongrass Peppermint olive oil soap. We miss him so much and we’re so honored and fortunate to have spent the day with him.💛 In honor of Huell, we’ll be opening back up for in-store shopping Wednesday through Sunday 12noon to 5pm. (Closed Mondays and Tuesdays) Come on by! We can’t wait to see you back in the shop again! 🧼

Hope you're all staying cool and taking lots of showers! 🚿🧼

Raising the Bar on Soaps Since 2003

Get ready for a better shower, people! This mother/daughter team believes that going back to basics is the wave of the future, so for over 15 years, we've been serving up fresh, all natural olive oil soaps, handmade from scratch right here in our kitchen! We've kept our promise to use only the finest essential oils and herbs in our centuries-old soap making process, so the end product is gentle and hydrating on the skin, healthy for the body, and never overwhelming to the nose. We're proud to be one of the early adopters of a plastic-free shower, and we're ecstatic about the recent enthusiasm in the zero waste movement!

But why bar soap instead of liquid? Besides the obvious no more plastic bottles, it takes about 5 times more energy to produce a bottle of liquid soap than a bar of soap. Liquid soaps almost always contain synthetic lathering agents, or sulfates, which can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. And because of their water content, they also often contain harmful preservatives, such as parabens, which are known hormone disruptors and carcinogens. So not only is our soap healthier and gentler on your body, it's better for our planet, too. Move over bottles, the bar is back!

• Paraben Free
• Sulfate Free
• Triclosan / Triclocarban Free
• Phthalate Free
• Cruelty Free
• No Synthetic Fragrances or Colorants
