TheraBee soap

Gentle olive-oil soap, made by hand.

I couldn’t find a simple, fragrance-free olive-oil soap I truly trusted for myself and my family. Most contained ingredients I didn’t recognise or left our skin feeling dry, so I started making my own — with olive oil as the main ingredient, and each bar kept intentionally simple.

It’s for people who read ingredient lists before buying, prefer fragrance-free soap and want something straightforward for everyday hand and body care.

Olive-oil soap, fragrance-free

A creamy, low-bubble lather for everyday hand and body washing.

Why fragrance-free

Fragrance-free simply means no added perfume — and perfumes are often complex mixtures of many substances. With fewer extras there is less on your skin that it could react to, and the ingredient list stays short and easy to understand, so you know exactly what you’re using on your hands and body every day.

Ingredients
Organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, water and sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is what turns oils into soap; it is used up in the process, so none is left in the finished bar.
Good to know
A cosmetic, not a medical product — it doesn’t diagnose, treat or prevent any skin condition. Not suitable for children under 3. Every bar is weighed and labelled at no less than 75 g; handmade soap keeps drying gently, so bars weigh about 75–90 g.
Storing and using
Keep it dry between washes, on a soap dish that drains — soap left sitting in water softens and doesn’t last as long. Ordering several bars? Unwrap the spares and keep them somewhere cool, dry and airy: cold-process soap keeps curing, and becomes harder, milder and longer-lasting with time.

How my soap is made

  • Cold-process method — every bar is made by hand, the traditional way.
  • Natural curing — each bar is hand-cut and left to cure for 4–6 weeks, which gives a gentle lather and a harder, longer-lasting bar.
  • Simple formulation — ingredient clarity before trends: no added fragrance, colour or unnecessary additives.

What customers say

The soap is very soothing and gentle… It lathers beautifully, and I really enjoyed using it. Definitely my favourite of all the soaps I’ve tried!
— Stephanie, London
Quite a mild smell, but it lathers well once you rub it more. Very gentle and pleasant to use.
— Amm, Peterborough
It leaves our hands feeling soft and conditioned, without drying them out.

Questions

How does your background shape the soap?

It means a cautious, ingredient-first approach — simple, transparent, well-understood ingredients rather than trends.

Can I use it on my baby or toddler?

The soap is gentle, but it is not suitable for children under 3.

Is it a medical product?

No. TheraBee soap is a cosmetic product and doesn’t diagnose, treat or prevent any skin condition.

Why don’t bars all weigh the same?

Handmade cold-process soap keeps losing a little water as it cures, so each bar weighs about 75–90 g. The label always shows the lowest weight, 75 g.
