Soap for Hope
The soap bar is located on the sunshine coast, queensland, australia and produces boutique style handmade soaps and natural body care products.
We believe in giving back to the community that supports us. In July 2021, we started Soap for Hope. Each month we will donate 100 bars of soap to a different charity, for them to use/sell/raffle/donate as they like.
As a small family business, it’s important for us to be involved in our local and national community. It’s just a bar of soap, but to someone in need it might mean a whole lot more.
If you would like to be involved or suggest a great charity, get in touch by sending an email to us.
