Our Story: From a Pharmacist's Passion to Naturally Bubbly Bliss
We believe that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it. That's why Soapy & Bubbly was born—from a passion for the power of nature and a desire to create genuinely effective, handcrafted skincare right here in the UK.
Meet Mihaela: The Heart and Hands of Soapy & Bubbly
Soapy & Bubbly is the creation of Mihaela, our founder and chief formulator. With a professional background in pharmacy, Mihaela possesses a deep understanding of ingredients and how they interact with your skin. Her journey into natural cosmetics began in 2017, driven by a passion to move beyond synthetic solutions and embrace the gentle, nourishing power of plants.
She started not in a lab, but in her own home, meticulously testing and perfecting formulas that would become our first beloved products.
Our Commitment to You and Our Planet
Our philosophy is simple: create incredible products that are kind to your skin and the environment. This is not just a tagline; it's a promise that guides every bar of soap we craft and every bath bomb we fizz.
- Handcrafted with Expertise: Every product is made by hand in small batches from our workshop on the beautiful grounds of Lavant House, West Sussex.
- Nature-Led Formulas: We harness the goodness of natural butters, clays, and essential oils, drawing inspiration from the incredible variety of plants around us.
- Eco-Conscious Choices: We are committed to using plastic-free packaging, sourcing ingredients sustainably and being a 100% cruelty-free brand.
- A Gentle Reminder: Our products are crafted to soothe and comfort. However, they are not intended to be medical treatments. We recommend performing a patch test before use, especially for sensitive skin.
From Our Kitchen Table to the South Downs
Like every great idea, we started small. The first Soapy & Bubbly products were lovingly prepared in Mihaela's kitchen. As word spread and our family of happy customers grew—first at local markets in Chichester and then online during the pandemic—our home workshop could no longer contain the bubbly magic!
Today, we are proud to have a dedicated workshop nestled at the edge of the stunning South Downs. It's here that Mihaela spends her days formulating and creating the products you love, surrounded by the same nature that inspires them.
