Handmade soap from the Sedbergh Soap Company

Responsible and Minimum Packaging

Packaging - Less is definitely More...and much better for the Environment
Because our soaps are also cut by hand they will vary a bit in size and shape. Each bar will weigh minimum of 125 gram but some may weigh up to 145 gram. Packaging or rather the limitation of it is very important to us. The packaging is minimal and is 100% biodegradable - so you can compost it all if you have a compost bin. And if not, you can recycle the paper again. Our philosoply is that if you are starting a new business these days - there is really no excuse not to think about the alternative forms of packaging available. - And we're pleased that so many of our customers and retailers agree.

The life of a cardboard box
We have entered into an agreement with a number of our wholesale customers and local shops to recyle their old cardboard boxes. This means that if you order a larger quantity of soap it will arrive in a nice clean cardborad box but it may say 'rice' or 'Christmas decorations' on the outside. Our philosoply is 'why send a perfectly good box to the recycling plant when there is plenty of delivery miles left in it'?

Less Ego...more of the Good Stuff
Our ego is not so big we have to have our name on the outside of every box....because our growing number of stockists and their ever increasing sales of Sedbergh Soap tells us that you believe it is what's inside that counts. And because we don't spend a lot on packaging....we can spend more on the good stuff we put into our soap, it's as simple as that. Afterall, we hope you prefer to pay for the product and not what it's wrapped in.
