Hi, I’m Angel, the brains and brawn behind The Barefoot Hippy, formerly Hippy Soap Co. a business I created to sell my proudly made quality handcrafted all naturals soaps etc. Myself and my family have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, where allergies are part and parcel of this diverse condition.For years I searched unsuccessfully to find a soap that did not irritate our skin. So after researching how to, I then commenced to make our own custom soap. Being free of itchy irritated skin for some years now, we wanted to share the love of skincare that really cares for sensitive skin, that is how Hippy Soap Co came about. Unfortunately in December 2023 I had to make the hard decision to close my wee business due to arthritis throughout my spine. It had become too challenging to continue to run a business where I was responsible for everything, from manufacturing, researching, packaging, photography, website design, fulfilling orders, I did it all. Just weeks after closing Hippy Soap Co I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, a nasty cancer. Having fighting breast cancer and all it entails, ten years prior, it simply is another fight to try to win.So now I bring you The Barefoot Hippy, where not only do I share the recipes, I share the how-tos, and the trade secrets, of your favourite products plus much more, so you can create your own.
Simple and natural …. Nature inspires us
The recipes that we share for our palm free soaps are made from powerful skin loving ingredients that are 100% Natural, they contain no synthetic colours or fragrances. We always use quality ingredients from completely plant-based sources, that are moisturising and non drying.
For our soap manufacturing The Barefoot Hippy uses the ancestral process of Cold Saponification. This method reacts with the raw materials without heating them and therefore retains the virtues of the oils and plants. The end product of the total reaction creates an integral, economical, biodegradable soap, rich in natural glycerin. This technique allows us to produce high quality soaps that you will love to use yourself.
Every offering is designed to delight. Simple, natural ingredients are lovingly brought together under the highest quality standards. Now you an create the same product that is uniquely crafted, for you and those you cherish.
Slow down, feel the sweetness of life ….
Our manufacturing process respects our environment. Unlike main stream industry, we want to let you to take time to create according to your inspirations, to work with precision and passion. We want to share something we love ….
