About Us

My name is Karen. I created Perry Soaps during COVID in 2020. My vision was to create a product that would gently cleanse the skin without leaving it feeling dry and flaky and in need of lotion. After many trials, I tested my soap recipe on family and friends. I source my products from many suppliers so that I can bring you the best soap that I possibly can. I believe the bathing experience can be luxurious and something to look forward to every day. I also want my soaps to be not only nourishing for your skin, but visually appealing and something you want seen in your bathroom! I encourage you to give handmade soap a try. You will never go back to commercial soap.

I offer vegan and lard soaps. Lard make an excellent bar and is so luscious for your skin. If the description does not say, “this is not vegan,” than it is indeed vegan! All ingredients are listed for each bar. With the exception of a few ingredients, the recipe is almost the same, lard and olive oil are the only interchangeable ingredients (more olive oil/more lard or vice versa). This is due to the ever increasing price of olive oil.  Cocoa butter is also not in the lard bar due to increasing prices in today's market unfortunately.

Some of my key ingredients: coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, olive oil, kaolin clay, sodium lactate.

My soaps are created in small batches in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I source my fragrances from suppliers that adhere to strict safety guidelines and follow IFRA guidelines as well (International Fragrance Regulation Association). I do not use fragrances that contain phthalates, toxins or other harmful ingredients. My soaps are created “from scratch” with lye (sodium hydroxide). This is the only way to create soap – with lye. In other words, I do not use a melt and pour soap base and add ingredients to a melted down base. The only way to create soap is with lye – any other product is not soap. Soap is created by combining oils and fats with lye – it will go through a process called saponification. And that creates soap.

Due to the nature of my products, I can not accept returns. But if you have an issue with a product, contact us immediately so we can rectify it. If you contact me after 21 days with an issue, I can not issue a refund.
