Going plastic free has never been easier thanks to Soap Folk and their new All Kinds subscription service.  Reduce waste, save money, be kind to the planet, and smell great - that's what you can look forward to with this letterbox friendly treat!

Soap Folk has been featured here on The ecoLogical many times as they are a brand that I'm a big fan of.  Based in the market town of Stroud, this small business focuses on crafting sustainable creations that bring a dose of sunshine into your day.  The range is handmade with love, and includes a selection of plastic free goodies like cold process soaps, lip balms, body oil, and even beautiful greeting cards.

Everything founder Fiona creates is ethically made and produced with the utmost care for both people and planet.  You won't find any palm oil or synthetic ingredients here, everything in the supply chain is fully traceable, and the products have a low impact on the environment.  Plus, as the UK's only certified organic specialist soap makers Soap Folk offers something extra special!

You know I adore their eight scents of soap already, but did you know that recently a new service was added that makes this brand shine even more?  The All Kinds box is now available as a subscription service!

"It’s time to embrace the imperfectly perfect and be a waste hero."


Soap Folk's All Kinds collection offers a way to reduce waste, save money, and still get a bundle of gorgeous plastic free soaps that will leave your skin clean and fresh.  Each letterbox friendly package promises to deliver five offcuts straight to your door, with a variety of at least three types of bar from the brand's line.  These will be a mix of chunks, bars, or slices depending on what is available, but you are guaranteed a whopping 300 grams of soap in each box.  That's the equivalent of three full size ones!

By opting for offcuts, you are helping ensure there is no waste generated by these super sudsy creations, plus the All Kinds collection helps you stick to a budget without skimping on quality or quantity.  These are the same fab treats you can get in the shop, but by choosing these characterful ones you can save nearly £6 with each delivery!  And now, thanks to the new subscription option, you can save even more - by picking a monthly, bi-monthly, or every three month box you can get a further 15% off your order.  That's brilliant news for my wallet, and for my zero waste goals.

I was kindly sent the first edit of the Soap Folk All Kinds subscription, and I was impressed by how much love and care went into the packaging.  Unlike other offcuts initiatives I have tried or seen, Soap Folk works to make this feel just as special as their other products.  The soaps come wrapped in one sheet of personalized paper which is perfect for reusing as gift wrap, and you feel like you are being pampered every step of the way.  I loved untying the twine and watching the paper fall away revealing the soaps within.  And the little information card is such a great touch, especially for new customers who may not be familiar with every bar yet.

Inside this edit I found one practically full size soap four half size squares, and a bonus gift.  You would be hard pressed to tell these are offcuts honestly, as they look so pristine!  My delivery included Juniper Berry, Rose Geranium, Peppermint, Calendula, and Lavender and Oatmilk - all of which are vegan and are scents that I have tried and loved before, so I was thrilled!

I was also happy to find a little soap saver bag inside which is super useful.  These help make your soaps last longer, are great for getting them to dry out when you're done, and offer an exfoliating treatment too.  Soap savers are so handy to have as they are functional and take up no extra space, and I think that it was so kind of Soap Folk to include this bonus item in the All Kinds box.

The organic bars themselves are lovely, with a super gentle formula that lathers nicely.  Soap Folk is incredible when it comes to creating delightful scents that can uplift your spirits or calm your mind, and it's always such fun starting on a new one when the time comes.  Knowing I can have these eco friendly soap bars scheduled to arrive just when I need them without any hassle or worry is such a joy, and the fact that I can join the 'waste hero' club is brilliant!

I was so pleased to hear that the All Kinds collections would be available as a subscription service, and I really do love how easy it makes switching to plastic free alternatives for those new to sustainable swaps.  This is a cost efficient soap selection that is packed full of beautiful aromas, gentle ingredients, and eco friendly goodness, and it's one that also makes a great gift or a practical pick me up.  Definitely one to check out if you haven't already!

What do you think about having a soap subscription?  Is this something you would find useful?  And what scents would you hope to get to try??  I would love to hear all about it, so let me know in the comments below! xx
