Why do we make these products?


Why do we make these products? Because when we started, no one else made natural soap. We knew the public demanded a natural solution and that demand inspired us to start the North Shore Soap Factory.

So going back, when we started, there were no alternative sources for natural soap. Either we would buy the synthetic detergent bars from the grocery store, or we handmade soap using quality natural products on our own. And that's a no-brainer, because once you use natural soap, you’re hooked. If you went back to synthetic detergents, your skin would flip out.

The difference is in the ingredients. By using all natural oils from Hawaii, the north shore soap factory raise the bar on the quality of soap available on the market. Hawaii’s got some really excellent, exotic oils which are hard to acquire, even here, let alone somewhere else. We’re stoked that we’ve got access to these exotic oils, which are truly luscious skin-foods, like kukui and macadamia nut oil, fresh out of the hills of Hawaii.

Theses all ingredients nourish your skin with exactly what it needs, pulling the essence of these oils beneath the surface. The skin just plumps up, because it’s getting what it really needs to be healthy. Healthy skin comes from healthy ingredients- the good stuff.

We get to bottle the essence of the islands in a high quality natural soap that can't be matched. These products come from right here, the North Shore of Oahu.

We work hard to gather all of our quality ingredients and get them into our kitchen, where we handcraft our natural soaps. It’s a mission, but it’s worth it when we see our customers' eyes light up when they first experience high quality, all natural soap. They know that they're using a great product.

Quality skin care grows on you. It takes a while for your skin to push out all the old, harmful-chemical products, and for your skin to feel healthy again. Once your skin re-balances, it’s like a deep breath of fresh air, restoring purity around your entire body.

It’s going to feel different, for sure, but stay on it for a little while. Like anything, you’ve got to give this soap a chance. Once you let your skin return to a more nature state, it flourishes once more. What a huge relief! When your skin comes back into health, then maybe you'll feel a little more alive-- naturally.

The Soap Factory: The history behind the building which houses our factory is long standing, as it has been a historic landmark of the North Shore since the old times of the sugar days.

We’ve re-used it, saved a bunch of history, and helped bring it back to life; anchoring the town of Waialua and pulling together a lot of great people from within our community.

They’re all in this building, creating natural soap that’s known the world over, and that’s pretty amazing.



North Shore Soap Factory Team

What's so great about our products is that they are handmade with care and really work. They actually clean, and without harming your skin. Plus, they don't pollute the ocean like your standard detergents. The mission of our company is to make really high-quality products without compromising what we would put on our children. We want to make products that we feel safe putting on our kids, and on our customer’s kids, and their moms and dads. We’d never feel bad about the ingredients that we choose.


Natural Ingredients that we use in our products

If these ingredients work well enough for our family, they should work great for yours—anywhere, all over Earth. And we’re really proud to say that they don’t harm humans, or the oceans that the water washes into. That’s pretty cool.

The bottom line is that we are really proud of our handmade natural soap.. We’re proud of the ingredients we choose, the kind of people that we partner with to get those ingredients, the reasons why we use the ingredients, and of course, the final product. It works really well. After a couple of uses, we’ve got customers for life.
