Poured this week, ready to use
Melted, poured, and finished by hand
Glycerin soap doesn't need weeks of curing — it's ready when it sets. What matters is the base you start with and the care in every step.
- 01
Start with the base
A top-grade vegetable glycerin base, white and clear. It gives a soft lather, cleans well, and comes with its humectant properties built in.
- 02
Melt & scent
The base is melted gently and scented with essential oils and skin-safe aroma. Nothing that would irritate skin goes in.
- 03
Colour & detail
Skin-safe colourants are added, then the little details — bees, petals, stripes — are set into place one at a time.
- 04
Pour & set
The soap is poured into honeycomb, daisy, or custom moulds and left to set. Then it's unmoulded and checked by hand.
- 05
Wrap with a care card
Each soap is wrapped with a handmade-soap care card and shipped from Miami, FL. It's ready to use the day it arrives.
Looking after your soap
Glycerin pulls in moisture — that's what makes it hydrating, and it's also why the bar needs to dry out between uses. A few small habits keep it going for weeks longer.
- 01Store the soap in a cool, dry place.
- 02Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
- 03Use a well-drained soap dish with holes so the bar never sits in water and turns soft.
- 04Let the soap dry between uses to prolong its life.
- 05For a richer lather, use a bath glove or a loofah.
- 06Remember it's a handmade soap with no harsh additives — it behaves differently from a factory bar.

At 62, a new chapter
"At 62, I decided to bring to life a dream I had carried inside me: to create, with my own hands, something beautiful, natural, and made with love. I like to imagine each soap reaching someone's hands as a small gesture of love, or simply a way to say: I thought of you." — SandyRead the whole story
Questions people ask before their first bar
What is Sandy Soaps?
Sandy Soaps is a one-person handmade soap studio in Miami, FL. Sandy makes glycerin soap by hand for face and body, gift sets, and custom soap favors for events like weddings, baby showers, gender reveals, and baptisms. Everything ships from Miami within the US.
What is the soap made of?
A natural, vegetable-origin glycerin base — white and clear, top grade — plus essential oils, skin-safe aroma, and skin-safe colourants. There are no harsh detergents or additives that would irritate skin. Each product page lists its ingredients.
Is it good for sensitive skin, face, and kids?
Yes. Glycerin soap is gentle and made for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It doesn't clog pores, so it works on the face as well as the body, and many customers with acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin choose it. It's gentle enough for kids from 6 months, as long as their doctor agrees.
Why does glycerin soap get soft, and how do I make it last?
Glycerin attracts moisture — great for your skin, but it means the bar will soften if it sits in water or a humid, hot spot. Keep it on a soap dish with holes, out of direct sun and heat, and let it dry between uses. Treated that way it lasts for weeks.
Do you make soap favors for events?
Yes — it's a big part of what Sandy does. Weddings, baby showers, gender reveals, baptisms, birthdays, and themed parties. Minimum order is 12 pieces. You choose the shape, aroma, and colour; each piece comes with a thank-you card in a clear bag. Pricing is quoted per order — send a request on the Events page.
Where do you ship, and how long does it take?
Orders ship from Miami, FL to addresses within the United States. Shipping options and times are shown at checkout. Free shipping applies on orders over $35.
Will my soap look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. Each soap is coloured, scented, and finished by hand, so shade and details shift a little from bar to bar. That's part of what handmade means.
