Kinfolk Soap vs Commercial Soap (and why the commercial stuff is grim)
Most commercial soaps are mass produced using cheap oils from unregulated sources. They are bulked up with chemicals, hardeners, lathering agents and they often create a lot of environmental waste.
Our soaps are made with high quality, ethically sourced oils and butters. They are naturally nourishing so no need to add 'moisturisers' or 'lotions' to our products.
Our soaps are special. We make them unique and like nothing you can buy in a supermarket. They smell great, feel lovely on your skin, are designed for beauty and function. We want you to have the best, most luxurious soap at an affordable price.
