'Looks amazing. Keeps hands moisturised - doesn't dry them out like liquid soaps. Also it lasts ages. I've decided to amend my last will and testament because I'm pretty sure I'll be leaving the bar I've bought to the kids and I don't want arguments.'
Simon, Burton on Trent
'Great service and wonderful products. The soap that we bought smelled delicious and looked good enough to eat! It also lathered up beautifully and left my skin really soft. Will definitely buy again!'
Lucy, Barton under Needwood
'My favourite soap! It smells and feels fresh, stays well formed and the ingredients are intelligently selected. And it's pretty to look at too!'
Rich, Burton on Trent
Hi I'm Cathy, the owner and company founder of Barton Soapworks.
My soap making journey started during lockdown when we were all struggling with 'sandpaper hands'. I stumbled upon an article about traditional cold process soap and I was intrigued by the idea that it could be much more gentle and moisturising than today's manufactured soap. I decided to make some of my own and I was hooked!
I absolutely love making something that is beautiful, useful, beneficial for the skin and luxurious - all at the same time!
It's really important to me to make sure that my products are good for both people and the planet. That is why I'm committed to never using palm oil or plastic in my products or packaging.
My soap designs and scents are inspired by the natural world—the colours, textures, and scents of flowers and plants. This passion for nature has naturally evolved into love of essential oils.
