Description
The Dartmoor Soap Company follows an ancient artisan recipe to make beautiful, natural soaps using the traditional cold-process method. Each soap is hand stirred, hand cut and individually decorated.
We are often asked if we sell smaller sizes of our larger bars so that customers can sample several scents. These new sample sizes are the perfect way to do just this! Available in all our scents.
Each online order also receives one of these samples for free, chosen at random.
In a nutshell our soaps are:
- Made using ingredients locally sourced on Dartmoor
- Our lavender is grown here in our garden on Dartmoor
- Our honey and beeswax comes from a local apiarist in North Bovey
- All (bar one!) of our soaps are made with pure spring water from Dartmoor
- Our Dartmoor Ale soap is made with undiluted, local, real Ale
Our soaps are also free from SLS, SLR & palm oil, contain no animal fats and are made using 100% natural oils. All our products have been assessed by an independent cosmetic safety assessor.

Hi – I have just received my first order – I decided to get a bundle of samples so that I could try a variety of fragrances (I’m a Gemini – I can never decide!). Firstly a huge WOW to the packaging, presentation and delivery – I ordered on May 1st and today is May 3rd. The cutest little box turned up with every care to detail possible – a real personal touch. So of course I dived in – and the lemon mint is the first one I have tried. The smell is divine and not overpowering like some can be, but an hours after using it, my hands still feel soft as if I have just washed them and used hand cream – so thank you! ps I’m 52 with RA, so a little pampering on my poor hands is a wonderful feeling 😊

Hi Kerry, your mum’s 80th birthday party sounded amazing! We’re delighted that you love our soaps and our ethos, thank you!

I bought a selection of these mini soaps for party bags that I made up for the guests attending my mum’s recent 80th birthday party (along with chocolate and teabags). They went down a treat and everyone loved their unusual soap. I enjoyed matching the quirky soap names to each individual guest (for example, Dartmoor Explorers Bar for a friend who famously got lost on the moor one year – she even made it to the local news!).
The soaps are a lovely quality and I am pleased to be supporting a small producer with ethical and cruelty-free credentials.
