What is it?
Our handmade vegetable soaps are absolutely unique. Many clients have described them as simply the ‘best in the world-the finest quality they have ever used’.
This is because we use a low heat (cold pour process) with mountain spring water that retains a large percentage of precious (expensive!) vitamin rich nut and plant oils included just before the batch is poured. These are not consumed in the saponification process leaving them in the soap to super – fat them – moisturize and condition the skin beautifully. Our luxurious long-lasting gentle moisturizing soap with only pure natural plant (coconut, olive) and essential oils, flowers, herbs, Tasmanian milk and bio-dynamic cream, plant oils, fruit, clays, seaweeds, green tea, nutmeal, herbs and fruit …. these botanicals create the delicious smells, textures and colors.
Rediscover the pleasure of silky, creamy moisturizing delicately scented lather. These gourmet soaps can only be produced in small batches and are made in limited quantity.
We use no artificial colors. Our soap colors and in some cases textures are created ONLY by the herbs, essential oils/spices (cocoa, paprika, saffron, etc.), fruit and fruit peel, seeds (annatto), vegetables (spinach), roots (madder, turmeric) used in each different variety.
IMPORTANT: Unlike commercial soap manufacturers,we do NOT use:
- synthetic coloring agents
- synthetic antioxidants
- optical brighteners
- maturing stabilizers
- titanium dioxide
- lathering agents or
- animal products.
LYE: True Soap cannot be made without lye (caustic soda, a manufactured simple salt) which is the catalyst for the saponification process, but it is all used up IN that process, none remains in the final bar.
Our soaps are totally bio-degradable and eco-friendly.
Please Note:
The gentle facial soaps (all our unscented soaps Baby Soap, Wild Jojoba ad Olive the moisture Cream bars) are especially suited to facial skin. People with allergies or extreme sensitivities should use these soaps on their body as well.
The face/body soaps contain a higher percentage of intense aromatic oils. They are suitable for most people to use on the face as well as the body.
Body scrub soaps with additional seeds or exfoliating agents are only suitable for the body as they are designed to assist body exfoliation and are too rough for the face.

I’m pretty much now addicted to their products. For the last few years I had tried many different types of “natural” soaps, when I tried Beauty and the Bees I knew I had found what I was looking for. The soaps are soooo good! I also love the shampoo soap and it lasts a very long time (yes I am thinning on top but still..). Great ethical company with great service and brilliant products!

Beauty & the Bees is great. I buy their soaps regularly – they are really lovely. And I like the fact that they care about environmental issues, particularly in their quest to create a product that doesn’t use palm oil following the threat to Orangutan habitat. Their service is friendly and quick.

I got a sample soap in one of the gift packs and didn’t realise how much I (and my skin) loved them, until I ran out and went back to using the nasty chemical laden body wash!!! My skin felt sooo disgusting. I could not wait to get my order and when I opened the packet the smell just transported me to another place, it’s amazing how fresh and natural these soaps are, and I love minimal packaging, no more empty product bottles cluttering my bathroom! My showers usually feel like a chore but I actually enjoy them now as my shower smells sort of like a garden. I can’t wait to try them all and will make sure I reorder before this batch runs out!! Thanks again, and not wanting to sound like an infomercial but your products really have changed my beauty regime and has made it enjoyable and soothing, rather than just a boring routine 🙂
