We are proud of our collaboration with in New West River Market.

We took their cream of earl grey tea and made a tea inspired soap.

Each bar has a signature unique Swirl By Simon with kaolin clay and finely ground tea leaves.

There is a story behind our Earl Grey Tea soap - we developed this tea inspired soap with the help of product testers. Reach about our process in this blog post.

It started with a question – “can you make a tea inspired soap?” the request came from Great Wall Tea, a local loose leaf tea store known for its striking wall of tea. “Well, we haven’t tried that before, but let us give it a shot” We got to work experimenting. First, we needed to famili...

Small Business can be a lot of the same. We've been making soap together for 5 years. Each week we make soap, we cut soap, we label soap. We've figured out how to make things work - like how our Lego jig keeps our soap packaging consistent. We're a good team and glad we get to work together every week.

We are New Westminster's sibling soap makers. We make soap together.

Working together as a team sometimes highlights our differences. But we share manyy similarities. We both wear glasses. We both have blue eyes. We both enjoy diet cola (the big brand or the grocery store brand, we’ll drink them both!) There is so much about us that is the same. Three cheers for working together. (And bonus points to Simon for having the same colour t-shirt as the walls!)

Our relationship with PotteryWorks spans more than three years. Today we want to highlight PotteryWorks. We’ve been partnering with this New West Studio since the beginning of Simon’s Soapbox.

This relationship has been encouraging and innovative - when we noticed that people at markets were confusing our dish soap ramekins for candles, PotteryWorks developed a "Dish Soap" stencil to clear up any confusion. I've learned that problems get solved when we share and brainstorm together.

In September we were invited to do a presentation at a Pecha Kucha event in Sapperton, a neighbourhood in our city, New Westminster, BC. Pecha Kucha is a quick and fun presentation driven by images that show for 20 second each. Presenters need to convey their message quickly and the audience gets to...
