Meet the maker Soap Bothy

We make all our soap by hand in our remote mountain soap kitchen in the Cairngorms. The beauty and majesty of the Scottish Highlands is a fantastic source of inspiration for many of our recipes and designs.

‘Saipo’, from which we derive the word soap, was made by ancient Celts from tallow and plant ashes. Although we prefer to avoid using animal fats altogether for ethical reasons, our mission is to use the traditional techniques of our ancestors to create soaps without the use of chemical additives standard in commercial production.

A note from our supplier about Palm Oil
This oil carries Organic Certification and comes from Columbia. It is not produced on land that has been taken from the Rain Forests, nor are there any Orangutangs made homeless. Our suppliers do use 'ethical' methods in their production (we have actually visited the site). Our Columbian suppliers are members of the RSPO (Round Table for Sustainable Production of Palm Oil).
