Inspire, Innovate, and Handle

I'm a Wife, Mother, and Handler

The soap handler was born out of a "stuck-soap" shower saga. Naturally, being a mother and problem-solver, I instantly handled it.

Our Story

I’m Shana, creator and inventor of this nifty little soap that we call THE SOAP HANDLER. You must be wondering how I came up with this neat and natural soap with a built-in handle. So here’s the story...
Stepping into the shower one morning, i noticed that I ran out of my natural soaps. In a hurry, I grabbed a small square of soap that I had snatched from my last hotel stay. Lucky me, my natural soaps arrived in the mail the very next day and I was saved as my oversized rectangular soap lathered me clean. The next day, upon reaching for my soap, I realized that both soaps were stubbornly wedged together. In my usual rush, I began washing with this stacked-stuck-soap. To my delight, the accidental fusion created a super-grip on a usually slippery soap.

Inspirations

In my mind, soaps started to spin, stack, and morph into a soap that would be sustainable, strong, squeaky clean and most importantly SLIP-FREE. So here we are embarking on this journey of creating the first HANDLED SOAPS, inspired by an accidental stuck soap.

Handmade in India

All of our soaps are proudly poured and molded in India, by local artisans and skilled craftswoman.

"As a mother and female entrepreneur, it is inherent in me to create a product that can enhance our lives whilst being kind to the people and planet. In wanting to be a good role model to my 7 children, it is incredibly important to create a business that operates in harmony with the environment and impacting positive change on mankind.”
