The English Soap Company story began in the year 2000, when founders Bob and Juliet discovered a number of vintage soap moulds lying disused in a machinery workshop farm in Kent.
Inspired by this discovery, Bob and Juliet spent many years perfecting the art of soap making and perfumery to create the perfect bar of soap — one that is smooth and silky in texture, moisturises the skin, and is infused with a luxurious designer fragrance that lasts until the very end.
As the business grew, production moved from the kitchen table to a local farm in the Sussex countryside, marking the beginning of a new chapter driven by increasing demand.
In 2012, their son Oliver took over as Managing Director, joined by his wife Ailsa as Business Development Manager. Remaining proudly family-owned, The English Soap Company has continued to grow, expanding its product range in 2017 to include hand creams, hand sanitisers, shower gels, perfumes, and more. The offering later expanded further to include scented candles, as well as hand and body washes.
What began as a small family venture has grown into an internationally recognised soap and toiletries brand, exporting to over 40 countries around the world. Partnerships include prestigious names such as The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and Mattel, Barbie.
