Collection: Handmade Soaps

Handmade soaps from Roots and Herbs are cold-process, 6-week cured bars made with natural oils, clays and botanicals, following a traditional recipe that preserves glycerine instead of stripping it out the way mass-produced soap does.

Why cold-process, cured soap

Mass-produced soap is often made quickly with synthetic detergents. Cold-process soap cures slowly over six weeks, allowing natural glycerine to remain in the bar, so it cleanses while still moisturising skin.

How to use

Use as your regular bath or shower soap; store on a draining soap dish between uses to help the bar last longer.

FAQs

Why do handmade soaps need 6 weeks to cure? Curing allows the saponification process to complete fully, resulting in a milder, longer-lasting bar.
Are these soaps suitable for sensitive skin? They are made with natural oils and botanicals, but always patch test a new soap if your skin is reactive.
