Why purchase handmade soap?
All soaps made by Robyn's Soap House are produced by the Cold Process soap making method. The natural by-product of the soap making process is glycerine. We retain this valuable ingredient in our soap to create a luxuriously moisturising soap for you to use on your skin. Our handmade soaps are also made using extra virgin olive oil (grown in Victoria) and the majority of our soaps have a little coconut and palm oils added to improve the lather, texture and hardness of the soap.
There is also NO Sodium Laurel Sulfate in any of our soaps.
Who should use handmade soap?
We all need to protect our skin and provide it with the best care, especially those suffering from dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, aging skin and other skin problems. It's also very beneficial for people working outdoors in cold weather, those always in the swimming pool, the sea or full sun. The unscented soaps are mild enough to use on babies delicate skins.
How do I care for my soap?
Your handmade soap will last longer if stored on a soap rack. If soap is left in a dish with water, it will dissolve quite quickly. Try to keep your handmade soap dry between uses.
How much does a bar of soap weigh?
All our soaps are handcut and trimmed. Our regular soap bars weigh approximately 100-120 grams each. We can also cut guest/hand soaps. Two guest soaps weigh approximately the same as a regular soap. Soap buttons weigh approximately 20 grams.
Where can I buy your soap?

A limited range of soaps is available from various retail stocklists. Alternatively, you can purchase soaps under the products section on this website.
