There are a lot of soaps out there.

Here are the questions we get asked most, so you don't have to take our word for it.

If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out at info@neighbourhoodsoap.com

  • Plant-based, biodegradable ingredients that actually clean. No harsh stuff, no unnecessary extras, no ingredient list that reads like a chemistry exam. Made in small batches here in Toronto, where we have high standards about some things.

  • Our soaps are made with mild ingredients and are generally well-suited for sensitive or dry hands. That said, everyone's skin is different. If you have known sensitivities, a patch test is always a good idea. (We trust you know your own hands better than we do.)

  • We skip anything harsh on skin or hard on the environment.

    • No SLS or SLES
    • No parabens
    • No PEGs
    • No quats
    • No artificial dyes

    We focus on ingredients that clean well, feel good, and don't overstay their welcome.

  • Yes. Lightly scented using carefully selected fragrance blends and essential oils. Fresh and subtle, never the kind of thing that announces itself when you walk into a room.
    Phthalate-free.

  • Yes. Vegan, not tested on animals, and we source from suppliers who hold the same standards. No corners cut, no asterisks. We checked.

  • Because Toronto streets have actual personality, history, character, and a few things worth poking fun at.

    Each scent is a small nod to the neighbourhoods we live in, with a bit of affection and the kind of detail that tends to get glossed over in the official version.

  • Yes. Glass bottles designed to be kept, not tossed. One-litre refill packs are available online for when you run out (which, if you're doing dishes, happens more often than you'd think).

  • The Neighbourhood Soap Company products are available online at neighbourhoodsoap.com, with delivery across most Toronto neighbourhoods.

    Prefer to shop in person? We get it. A small selection can be found at Amelia’s Market, 340 Westmoreland Ave N in Toronto. Free local pickup is available there to boot.
