Welcome to Portfolio Soaps!

I'm thrilled you've found my little collection of artisan handmade soaps.

Portfolio Soaps emerged from my journey as a healthcare professional and former creative. Experiencing the harsh effects of necessary but excessive hand washing with commercial soaps during the pandemic was the catalyst for me to seek out a kinder solution—one that prioritizes efficacy and gentleness for everyone, not just clinicians' hands.

Rediscovering Creativity

Discovering the ancient craft of making soap with natural ingredients re-sparked my creativity. Nestled in the heart of leafy Dulwich, London, Portfolio Soaps reflects my lifelong love for creativity and passion for blending the best of ancient authentic wisdom with contemporary science.

These artisanal soaps are not just skincare products; in honour of my previous career, I like to think of them as miniature, completely usable artworks. Each bar is meticulously crafted to be distinct from mass-produced alternatives and named after a long list of beloved artists and designers.

Sensory Indulgence

My aim is to transform the necessary daily ritual of skin cleaning into a sensory indulgence unlike anything found in a typical supermarket or beauty counter.

Craftsmanship and Ingredients

Crafted in small, handmade batches with ethically sourced oils, plant butters, and enhanced with botanicals and pure essential oils. Unscented bars are also available.

The range draws inspiration from three key elements:

  • Skin-kind ingredients that soothe the skin and avoid the adverse effects of commercial soaps.
  • The transformative power of scent from pure essential oils.
  • The use of ethically sourced tropical sustainable ingredients that honour my mixed heritage

Commitment to Sustainability

Portfolio Soaps strives to stand out as a beacon of thoughtful skincare. My commitment to sustainability and ethical practices is not just a part of it; it is the very essence of it. I actively avoid single-use plastics and unnecessary waste, ensuring that my passion for skincare is in harmony with respect for the environment.

I'd love you to join me in my mission to elevate skin cleansing to an everyday artistic indulgence without compromising the health of the planet.
