Pure bulk glycerine is our original soap and still a best seller. It is called "bulk" because it was originally available in 13 kg slabs, which were hand cut into eight equal strips. Customers would come into the stores and the shopkeeper would custom cut the glycerine soap strips into the size of bar they would like. Bulk glycerine soap is sold by weight.

Our pure bulk glycerine soap is made by what we call "the hot process". All the ingredients are heated in a big steam kettle. While still hot, we pour this mixture into large forms. The liquid soap cools for days turning into a "soft soap". We remove the sides from the molds and hand cut the large slab into smaller pieces with piano wire. These slabs are then put through our "harp" which cuts them into standard 110 g bars.

My great Aunt Elsie had a "soap shelf" in the farmhouse pantry. The freshest soap was stored at the back of the shelf and the oldest bars were brought forward for use. The purpose was to let fresh soap dry for up to 6 months before using. "Dried soap lasts longer" she would say. As our glycerine soap ages and it dries, it lasts longer, lathers quicker, and gets a beautiful transparency. It is very biodegradable and very gentle. Hope you'll try a bar.

About Soap Works

We make specialty soaps. In 1985, two men named Bob and Mike founded The Soap Works mostly because the colors and scents contained in mass-produced soaps at the time irritated their skin. A partnership was formed to make a glycerine soap that would use old-fashioned methods and natural ingredients in order to solve their problems. It proved successful. Naturally, the two men decided to take the next step on to a path to help people cope with all their particular skin sensitivities.
