Big Beautiful Bargain Bag

Sometimes things happen in the soap kitchen - like the time I added purple clay to the neroli batch instead of the lavender batch. Oops.

Other times, it's a creative choice that we're not 100% happy with - like the time we added green tea leaves to the top of a bar. While they looked lovely, when the petite leaves were touched by water they unfurled into giant leaves, looking more like large pieces of kelp than green tea. Err- if you get one of these beautiful bars filled with shea & cacao butter, just scrape the leaves off before use. Easy.

Should you buy a Bargain bag?

In a recent survey of customers
who purchase Bargain Bags:
90% purchase because of the price
70% said they like buying in bulk
60% like the variety
60% said they know all of them will be good
40% like bare soaps

The one downside of buying a bargain
bag is that you don't know what
soaps are in your bag. For some
people this is great - it's like
a surprise present each time you
open your delivery.

If you prefer to know what range
your soaps are from, you can buy
bare boxes of 10 in each of our
ranges and choose the number of
each scent/type in your box.

Then there are the bars at the end of each log - all added into seconds for no crime other than being a little rustic on one side. Or the particularly lovely bars made by Melissa when demonstrating colour techniques using natural additives in our soap making classes.

Finally, there are the overstocks. The bars that for whatever reason we made too much of. These are some of the best to receive because they've had a nice long cure and they're hard, mild and long-lasting.

All are based on our usual high-quality ingredients - extra virgin olive oil, cacao butter, macadamia, shea butter. Some have goat's milk, some coconut cream. Most are scented with pure essential oils.

The contents of each bag will vary but will always be a minimum of 1000 grams.

The image below shows a stack of 9 regular sized bars on the left of the scales, and 6 specialty bars on the right that each add up to around 1kg. This works out value wise to around $4 a standard bar in these bargain bags.

Value of regular bars = 9 x $5.00-$6.00 = $45.00 - $54.00
Value of specialty bars = 6 x $9.50 = $57.00

These bargain bags sell out often, but we cut bars at least once a week and restock the shelves. If there are none available online check back in a couple of days or choose "Notify Me" to be sent an email when we restock.

Because these bars are often restocked they are usually very fresh and could do with a few weeks sitting in your linen cupboard to "cure" (read more about curing and why we cure for several weeks). Bonus: they'll impart a lovely scent to your sheets & towels.

Choose this product if: - You don't mind which soaps you receive. - You don't have allergies/sensitivities that require you to know ingredients before use. - You want to support Australian owned and run small business. - You care how the environment is impacted by the consumer choices you make. - You want an excellent customer service experience. - You want a soap with fantastic performance and delicious scents - You want a product without unnecessary/extra packaging. Don't buy this product if: - You have a particular scent/product that must be included. Washpool in my experience run a fantastic operation of responsibly sourced and enthusiastically manufactured soaps that are on par (if not above) anything I have ever used. Customer service from this company is second to none, highly recommended.

I love this bargain bag!!! Such amazing value for money, plus all the soap bars are incredible and leave my sensitive skin feeling AMAZING! My only issue is it is always sold out! Haha!! I also love trying the new bars that people have made in here and I always love trying to guess what the fragrance is.

Great soap, gentle enough to use on your face, doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight. Very good value for money.

Bought these soaps several weeks back and held off on reviewing so I could get a sense of a couple of the bars. -The soaps are fantastic, great scents, easily lathered and last a fair while. It's nice to be able to buy a product that is good for the environment and support small Aussie business. -The team at Washpool are fantastic, my order was shipped promptly and they followed up with me about a query I had, going above and beyond. As far as I am concerned the customer service offered by Washpool is second to none. -While you may be paying a little extra for a product (Compared to mass produced soaps) I would argue that the cost is more than offset by the quality and origin of the products, the outstanding customer service provided and the ability to support small Australian businesses. Highly recommended.

Wow

Purchased this after the kids & I used up all my husbands 3 in 1. I was happily surprised with the variety included, it's a perfect way to try out different soaps if you aren't fussy - will definitely buy again.
