Willow Ridge Soap Co. is a family owned business providing natural, handmade soaps, bath and body products in Marathon, ON, Canada.

We make our soaps from scratch using the cold process method. From measuring out the luxury oils and butters that go into each batch, to hand cutting, wrapping, and labeling each bar – our soaps are 100% handmade in small batches to ensure top quality.

Commercial soaps contain harsh chemicals and detergents that can be harmful to your skin. Our 100% biodegradable, all-vegetable soaps contain only the most moisturizing and skin loving natural ingredients.

We also offer body butters, body scrubs, bath salts, bath bombs, and lip balm in a variety of scents and flavours.

We only use natural essential oils and cosmetic-grade fragrance oils to scent our products.

New to our product line are all-vegetable 100% Soy Candles & Tarts.

How Our Soap Is Made

Just as the pioneers made it back in the day, we start by carefully measuring out high quality vegetable oils and butters specific to each and every batch. We combine the oils in a large pot and add a mixture of distilled water and Sodium Hydroxide/Lye (there is no such thing as soap without it!) This begins the process of “saponification” which is a chemical reaction that transforms the oil and lye mixture into soap! (Note: there is no lye present in the final product). We stir the mixture for several minutes, then add in our essential oils/fragrances, herbs, botanicals, and/or colourants. The mixture is then poured into a large wooden log mold and left to set up for at least 12 hours. We then un-mold the soap, hand-cut the bars, and allow them to cure for a minimum of four weeks, ensuring the mildest, most moisturizing and long-lasting bar. Our handmade soaps are the gentlest soaps on the market and are especially popular with those who have extremely sensitive and/or allergy prone skin.
