Specialty Soap Pty Ltd – Handmade Soap
We are a family operated business located in the beautiful South East Queensland, where we make by hand an extensive range of soaps supplying all over Australia.
Our handmade soaps are made from scratch using natural ingredients. Our soap is scented with only luxurious pure essential oils or high quality fragrant oils. We also add goats milk, honey and clays for an extra special touch of luxury and natural botanicals for exfoliating texture. We add no chemicals, phosphates, sodium lauryl sulphates or parabens.
Our Soap Making Process
In our handcrafted soap we use the cold process in which all our ingredients are mixed at low temperature. This process retains all the natural goodness of the base oils and essential oils. In the saponification process large quantities of natural glycerine is produced which remains in the final bar of soap.
Why we use essential oils in our handmade soap?
Essential oils are a true miracle of nature and have been used since the beginning of time to treat, heal and soothe physical, emotional and spiritual ills – bringing balance to mind, body and soul. It is the fine science of combining these oils and balancing their unique properties, which allows us to bring the benefits of nature to our handcrafted soaps.
Basically, Mother Nature provides the ingredients, we just create the ‘recipes’.
Why we use clay in our soaps?
Clay’s have been used to benefit the skin since ancient times. Minerals are absorbed through the skin to clean, nourish and soften. Our beautiful clay soaps will help moisturise the skin, remove dead skin cells, revitalise the complexion and remove toxins from your skin.
Where does clay come from?
Australia’s ancient geology provides us with a huge range of minerals. Clay is a natural resource taken from the earth’s crust. Over millions of years of weathering, rocks are broken down into smaller and smaller particles, forming into clay
What’s so special about honey in our handmade soaps?
Honey soap looks great, has a fabulous scent, is excellent for moisturising dry skin, clearing acne and eliminating bacteria of the surface of the skin.
Honey contains vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants that are excellent for the skin and helps the skin absorb and retain moisture. Lastly, honey is known for it’s healing abilities and antibacterial properties. It kills bacteria on the surface of the skin that cause infections and body odour.
What are the Benefits of using natural handmade soaps?

Our handmade soap is truly 100% natural from start to finish. You can feel the difference! When you use our soap, you are nourishing your skin, not drying it out.
