Simply beautiful

High quality. Simple. Ethically made.

These are the principles that we weave into our work. So.Ah creates body care products that are effortless to use, sustainable to make, and will leave your skin feeling cleansed and refreshed.

Founder, Erin, has always had a lifelong interest in natural health and beauty products. After attending a candle-making course back in 2015, she was motivated to form a small business making high-quality soy candles and leading her own workshops. However, she kept returning to how challenging it always was to find skincare products that suited her family’s sensitive skin. This is how So.Ah began to take shape. Over the years, her passion for making natural products continued to grow, and she has dedicated many hours to studying aromatherapy and cold process soap-making. Each and every So.Ah product is carefully made in small batches at our Kaipara Harbour studio in beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Our soaps contain high-quality, organic ingredients that are either homegrown at our family farm, or locally sourced (where possible). We have carefully selected our ingredients to be both nourishing on the skin, and kind to the environment. Each one of the essential oils in our products is therapeutic grade, and 100% plant-based - while they all also possess their own unique benefits.
We are proud to say that all of our products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from synthetic colours and palm oil.

Biodegradeable

These goods can be composted at the end of their useful life, leaving no trace of their existence.

Ethically Made

These goods are made by suppliers that pay fair wages, guarantee no child labour, and maintain a safe working environment.

Handmade

Handcrafted goods are one of a kind that have been created by skilled artisans often using techniques passed down through generations, rather than by automated, machine-based processes. Small irregularities are celebrated and are what make handcrafted goods unique.

Local

These goods are manufactured in the same country in which they are designed. This sustains the local economy and is more equitable for the workers and their communities. 

Natural

These goods have been crafted with materials that are derived from naturally occurring materials, plants or animals, with minimal processing. 

Organic

Goods that are made from organically grown materials and are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides. 

Recycled

In an effort to reduce waste, the design of these goods are either part or wholly made from up-cycled or previously used materials. These can be either salvaged directly in their current form or from recycled materials, such as paper, glass or metal.

Sustainable

Goods made from materials that can be replenished at the rate they are consumed, all with minimal environmental and social impact. Such as FSC wood, bamboo and wool. 

Transparent

These goods are produced by artisans or companies that are open, honest, and straightforward about their business operations. Transparency builds trust, from makers through to customers.

Vegan

These are goods that contain absolutely no animal products or by-products and were not tested on animals at any stage.
