Laura's Soaps
My name is Laura Harkins, and I started making soaps about three years ago as a hobby. I decided to call my soaps ‘ Laura’s Soaps’.
I enjoy using many different fragrance oils in the soap recipes. I have had a stand at Buddy Walk and at the Illuminate Night markets run by Recreate and have sent my soaps all over New Zealand.
My soaps make great affordable gifts for mothers, aunties, sisters, brothers, teachers, and anyone who likes great-smelling soaps.
My Mum Jenny helps me work out the recipes for cold pressed soaps and quantities for each batch of soaps I make. I use the most natural products I can buy in my soaps. I also make shaving soaps in tins which are great gifts for men, and ‘Relaxing’ bath salts. I have recently added a shampoo bar and conditioner bar to my range. You can see them in the pictures below.
I like to wrap the soaps up so they look nice, and people like to use them and give them as gifts to their friends and families.
