about

 

citysoap is a one-person project rooted in the belief that the body is not separate from the earth and that care can be a practice of connection.

Handmade in Toronto, each product is crafted slowly, in small batches, with ingredients chosen for what they offer, not what they promise. Honest formulations that work with your skin, not against it.

This all began as a way to meet my own needs. I wanted soap with simple ingredients, thoughtful in design and free from industry noise. So I started making it myself. What followed was research, practice, and a quiet ritual that turned into something worthy of sharing.

With a background in environmental science and a lifelong art practice, I make these products the way I make everything: carefully, curiously, and with respect for the natural systems we’re all part of. Some of the botanicals come from my own garden. Oils are sourced through independent Canadian suppliers. Plastic is avoided whenever possible.

This soap is dirty. It's full of raw clays, herbs, and oils. Things that don’t strip the skin but instead remind it how to be in balance. Because there’s nothing to fix, only to support. 

citysoap is for all bodies, all genders, all skin types, all ways of being.

Skin is the outermost threshold where self meets world ~~~ this is one way to tend to it.

I hope using them is as much of a healing process as making them.
