About Claire Edmunds

Claire Edmunds

Traditional cold process soap, handmade from scratch

Who are we?

My name is Claire, owner of Saponista’s Artisan Soap

As a small business we take pride in knowing that all of our soap is handmade using traditional methods and finest ingredients

We take our time making soap; curing each bar for a minimum of four weeks, ensuring they last longer and have an improved lather

Our soaps are produced from natural, sustainable vegetable oils

They are all SLS and paraben free

What makes our soap different?

I started making traditional soap in 2010 out of a desire to find scented products that would be kind to my sensitive skin. Soap making quickly grew into a real passion and I longed to be able to share my products with others

As a former scientific researcher, I use my knowledge and experience to formulate unique recipes that not only look good, but function effectively.

I have won international awards for my artistic soap design

Where does the name Saponista come from?

The chemical reaction involved in the process of turning natural oils into traditional soap is called ‘saponification’

All of our soap is produced by experienced Saponista’s (soapmakers) just like an artisan barista makes an amazing coffee
