Thank you to everyone who has ordered during our closing down sale... your business, as always, is much appreciated. Most of our stock has now gone but there's still some items available and it's getting quite hard to find them on the website so we've made a quick real-time stock page where you can easily see what we have left and order as usual... 

We've made our last batches of soap before retirement and are now open for on-line orders once again from 10am on New Year's Day to sell our final stock. There is limited stock both in the range of products and in numbers but actual stock levels are shown on the website before you order. This will be on a first come, first served basis and once items have sold out there will be no more!

We'd like once again to thank all our customers for your business over the years and wish you all the best for 2025.

All things must come to an end and after 26 years of making and selling soap on a scale I never expected, I'm closing The Natural Soap Company at the end of 2024. All of us, with the exception of Ohla, our wonderful Ukrainian soap maker, are at, past or nearing retirement age and it's not practical for us to go on.

It's been an exciting journey and both lots of fun and lots of hard work and I'd like to thank all our staff, past and present, and particularly all of you, our customers, who have made it such a success over the years. We have done a lot of trade and wholesale business but from the very first days, our retail direct-to-customer sales in person, from our shop and particularly from this website have been the lifeblood of the company.

Our on-line presence during these years makes this one of the oldest websites you may have ordered from... there's not many places where the shopping cart software has been running, with the odd tweak now and again, for over 20 years. However, the process of stopping isn't easy and we are very busy dealing with everything that needs to be done and with outstanding orders. As a result we have taken a reluctant decision to stop accepting further on-line orders while we, almost literally, clear the decks and take stock.

So I'm afraid, for now, we've turned off our shopping cart and we're sorry to disappoint our regular customers. If you're here looking for Christmas presents, you will sadly have to find alternatives.

Our shop in Wells will hopefully be open on reduced hours – Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11am-4pm – until mid December.

We are intending to hold a traditional closing down sale in the next few weeks when we will make remaining stock available in the shop and back on this website... but it will be a limited selection of products, limited stock and on a first-come, first served basis. If you're interested, please do come back and check the site over the next few weeks.

Thank you, again, for all your support over the years.

All the best
