About Us
Buy a bar of soap, give it to someone less fortunate. That's the mission of Buy One Give One Soap. We're a team of people from Bournemouth who work for a local charity called Hope HTS. Our goal is to provide someone less fortunate with something they really need: soap. This is where our motto of Buy One Give One comes from, with each bar of soap you purchase providing a bar of soap for someone in need.
We believe in giving back to our communities and the environment, which is why all of our soaps are handmade, natural and luxurious, made from the finest ingredients available. We even collaborate with local businesses to have as little impact on the environment as possible, whilst also providing you with the best and highest quality soap that we can.
Thanks to a grant from the National Lottery, we were able to build our Soap Kitchen, where we had planned to start manufacturing soaps.
Covid soon hit and our plans were put on pause until June of 2022, where we consolidated the recipes, branding and what lay at the heart of the business.
Upon approval from a Cosmetic Product Safety Report, we begin mass manufacturing of the different soap recipes. We had various volunteers that we taught to produce soap, which helped us to make our first thousand soaps.
On the 7th of November 2022, we finally launched our website and all our ideas were officially materialised!
Julie, our CEO, got interviewed about the Hope Soap Initiative by Steve Harris on BBC Radio Solent's Dorset Breakfast Show. It was a great oppurtunity for us to share the story of how we started, and our big goals!
