about soap cafe
Soap Cafe in a nutshell
Soap Cafe’ started in Charly’s mum’s kitchen in 2006, selling her soap during markets and artisan fairs. In 2008 she opened her first Soap Cafe’; a meeting place for soap enthusiasts and crafters. Today, Soap Cafe’ offers the Island’s largest selection of handmade soaps and organic products including lotions, balms, scrubs hair care, men’s care, baby products, candles, and scented home products.
Most Soap Cafe’s products are vegan, except a handful of products that use ethically sourced honey, beeswax, and locally sourced goat’s or donkey milk.
What makes us so special?
Apart from crafting products that make you feel and look great, we also love sharing our knowledge through various workshops. Whether you’re interested in learning about herbal remedies, skincare, or aromatherapy, these workshops are designed to empower and inspire.
In addition to great skincare, we design and create unique pieces as souvenirs for weddings and special occasions. These sustainable favors are not only beautiful but also useful, offering a meaningful way to celebrate life’s milestones.
Our Mission and Ethos
To only produce and use goods that are beneficial for human, animal and planet. Choosing toxic free products means causing less damage to our planet and protecting our own individual health. None of our products are tested on animals or use animal fat, and when occasionally using products such as palm oil, we make sure that the raw materials are ethically sourced and sustainable.

We have refill systems where we can reduce drastically single-use plastic whilst customers can enjoy not just high quality, cruelty-free products but also discounts for refilling.

why are we different
At Soap Cafe, we are dedicated to providing natural and cruelty-free cosmetics for the entire family. Our products are freshly made using local ingredients and traditional soap-making methods called ‘cold process’. We also have a refill station where clients can bring their containers to refill their favorite products AND can also have their products customized on the spot by our beauty chefs!
We promise no fillers, or unnecessary additives—just pure, cold-pressed oils that retain their natural benefits. Our formulas are never heated, ensuring the integrity of our ingredients remains intact. We proudly stand against the use of parabens, paraffin, GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, and hormone disruptors. Each product is 100% natural, free of chemicals, and designed with your health and well-being in mind.
Studies have demonstrated the importance of using natural cosmetics. Research published in the *Journal of Applied Toxicology* highlights that synthetic chemicals in conventional cosmetics can disrupt endocrine function, leading to hormonal imbalances and related health issues. Another study in the *Environmental Health Perspectives* journal points out that exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals, such as parabens and phthalates, commonly found in many cosmetic products, is linked to reproductive and developmental issues. By choosing natural, chemical-free products, you can reduce your exposure to these harmful substances and support a healthier lifestyle.
Join us in our commitment to authenticity, purity, and sustainability.
