Hello, I’m Alice, the face behind Soap & Pepper
Over the last few years we have all been made aware of the impact we have on the environment.
For me it was learning the fact that any plastic tooth paste tube we’ve ever used and thrown away is still with us today.
This shocked me into wanting to make a change.
Since then I’ve been on a journey to try and replace as many single use plastic items as possible. It started in the bathroom where I switched to shampoo, conditioner and soap bars.
I enrolled on a soap making class and enjoyed it so much I quickly bought all the equipment and ingredients to make my own soap at home.
I loved how I could combine my interest in moving to a more sustainable way of living while learning a new skill.
After doing lots of research, reading and watching videos I took the plunge and made my first batch at home. I was quickly hooked and soon ran out of space to cure the soap.
This was when Soap & Pepper was born.
Each bar of soap I make for Soap & Pepper I design from start to finish. From the combination of oils and butters used to the all-natural colours, essential oils and any extras like rose petals, orange slices and oats. They are all vegan and palm oil free.
I try hard to use minimal packaging to protect the environment. All the soap labels are made from grape crush and straw paper,
Making natural soaps is my passion and I love bringing you on this journey. Sharing what I get up to makes it even more fun so why not follow me @soap_and_pepper. I have so much planned for the next year and would love to share it with you.
