Hi, I’m Angel, the person behind The Barefoot Hippy, where I share the recipes, the how-tos, and the trade secrets, of your favourite Hippy Soap Co products plus much more, so you can create your own.
Hippy Soap Co. was 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, along with many joint dislocations and subluxations. For years I had searched unsuccessfully to find a soap that did not irritate our skin. So after researching how to, I then commenced to make our own unique soap. Being free of itchy irritated skin, we wanted to share the love of skincare that really cares for sensitive skin.
Unfortunately in December 2023 I had to make the hard decision to close Hippy Soap Co 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, and fulfilling orders. I did it all. Just weeks after closing I was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus, a nasty cancer, having fought breast cancer and all it entailed ten years prior. I don’t know if I have a future, but thanks to my children The Barefoot Hippy will remain.
Life is a precious gift, live it well, live it with passion.
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 your 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 you to produce high quality soaps that you will love to use.
Every offering is designed to delight. Simple, natural ingredients are lovingly brought together. Now you an create the same product that is uniquely crafted, for you and those you cherish.
