Soapsmith, Walthamstow, London

It starts
with Sam.

A love of making.
A nose for London.

In 2010, Sam Jameson began turning her kitchen-table hobby of soap making and scent creation into a business.

She wanted to help keep craftsmanship and manufacturing alive in London. Two years of developing the products followed before she launched Soapsmith in 2012. Her approach was simple: "only the best will do".

London gave the scents their starting point. Sam drew on her memories of the city's neighbourhoods, creating fragrances for soaps, bath and body care.

“Still based in Walthamstow, London we stay true to our roots in everything we do.”
Sam Jameson, founder

workshop.

Mixing, pouring, shaping, stamping. A look at the work behind our soap, from the equipment on the bench to the hands that finish it.

The ingredients

Texture matters.

The feel of a product is part of its pleasure.

Botanicals, salts, oils and butters each bring something different to our bath and body care. We choose them for the product we are making: how it feels, how it works on your skin and how it carries the scent.

London,
by nose.

A walk through Bloomsbury. The spice of Brick Lane. The green of Hackney. Our scents begin with places and the impressions they leave behind.

Sam works those ideas into fragrances for soap, bath and body care. Each has its own character, just like the part of London that inspired it.
