Caper Hill Handcrafted Soaps

We made our 1st loaf of Caper Hill soap in July 2021, inspired by our garden and own home distillation. We sold our first soaps using the proceeds to help sponsor and spay more rescued dogs in Cyprus.

Today we have unmolded our 194th, and with great sadness, our last loaf of Caper Hill handmade soaps. It has been 5 years of soaping fun and helping a few of the strays and unwanted puppies in Cyprus. Plus I made so many friends and met YOU!

As my elderly parents are in their 90s, I would like to make more frequent trips and spend more time with them. So we have decided to leave Cyprus for the Far East.

Panic not, I will return annually to bring you soap! It will be challenging to source new materials and experiment in a different soaping climate........ but I like a challenge. In fact I will be nearer to the original source of coconut oil, cocoa and mango seed butters, and I am sure there are more that I do not yet know! You can bet your bottom dollar that I will find another stray dog rescue cause to get involved with!

Here is our last collection:

Herb gardens and citrus groves…. So Mediterranean. Lime, Sweet Orange, Basil, Rosemary.

Ready 20/9/2026

How do you like my new creation? Sandalwood, neroli, bergamot, honey…. all giving a warm, rich yet mouth watering. Wood Roses.

Ready 15/9/2026

Hope you are enjoying your summer! What better way to capture a medley of summer’s most beautiful flowers - roses, lavenders and lime blossoms, the perfect summer fragrances

Summer Medley, scented with rose, lavender and lime. We added mango seed butter, aloe butter and kukum butter to give exceptional nourishment and creamy texture. You won’t want to leave your bath or shower!

Ready to use from 6/9/2026.

Soaps album is updated. Some are ready to use now, others will be ready from 31/5 to 14/6. If you wish, you can still put order in and they will be despatched to you when ready - or if you can resist using the new ones, you can stand them up somewhere dry, cool and airy (not in humid warm bathrooms) to finish 'curing' yourselves!

Apologies for the inconvenience as I will be away visiting very aged parents in their 90s from 25/5 until 10/7. Thanks for understanding.

I will be away from 26/5 - 10/7, delivery of pre-orders will be arranged when soaps are ready.
Thank you for understanding.

Our ever popular and addictive Salt Bar (aka Spa Bar) is back! Signature formulation of Ginger and Lime EO, pink clay, Himalayan pink salt, coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil and mango seed butter. A detox scrub bar that is full of trace minerals, not only does it have oodles of creamy lather, it is an anti-inflammatory also.

Very nourishing shampoo bars leaving your hair soft and shiny! Formulated with coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, shea or mango seed butter to moisturise hair and scalp, h**p oil to strengthen hair and promote growth, and apple c***r vinegar to balance the pH and soothe itching.

We are often asked if our soaps can be used on hair - all our soaps are formulated for hair, face and body with no drying out at all. The shampoo bars have been formulated differently to our soaps even though the ingredients are mainly the same. In that they leave less fat after curing hence minimising the residue for shinier hair. The 'squeaky clean' feeling with commercial shampoo comes from their use of detergents full of chemicals.

With longer hair, the soaps might over time leave a residue from the rich butters we use. One just needs a simple vinegar rinse a couple of times a month (5 parts water to 1 part apple c***r vinegar or lemon juice). Apply to wet hair after shampooing, leave for a few minutes then rinse out.
