Our Story

Our Story

We are a family run business located in the heart of North Yorkshire. Based in the beautiful market town of Easingwold nestling at the foot of the Howardian Hills we have had shops, and now an online store, for over 50 years. Our aim has always been to supply beautifully crafted products that prioritise ethical values and sustainability. We have now combined this with our love of travel and rail journeys, sourcing products from Britain and the continent.

Where it all started

It all started with a “complete inability to walk past a pretty bar of soap” on a trip to the south of France as a child. The sight and smell of those colourful little bars of French soaps, all stacked up, at the markets in Provence just takes us back to summers spent in France. The joy of unwrapping a bar of soap and being the first one to use it has never left and was the inspiration for The Splendid Soap co.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a hugely important to us at The Splendid Soap Co. In a bid to minimize our impact on the environment we have been using  Marseille cubes for years. In our opinion they still provide some of the best cleaning, and are the finest dishwashing soaps you can buy! All of our suppliers meet our strict demands for ethically produced, sustainable products and packaging. Many of our products are vegan, although we do sometimes use natural products like honey and lanolin. All of our products are cruelty free.

Luxury skin care

We source products that not only smell amazing but contain products that nourish and pamper the skin leaving it clean, moisturised and smelling amazing! We hand chose our products from suppliers who handmake the best quality soaps using traditional techniques and the finest ingredients.
