How it all began 

🌿🧼 Sulphur City Soapery is more than just a skincare company... it is a passion project fuelled by the amazing duo of Jackie and Shannen Lunam.  I, Jackie, led the charge in those early days, and Shannen provided the much-needed backup (but shh, don't tell her I said that 😜). From our concrete storage/workshop in Rotorua, New Zealand, we set out to create natural body products that are not only good for your skin but also good for the environment too 🌍. And let me tell you, we didn't shy away from a challenge... starting a business and opening a retail shop just months before the COVID-19 lockdown? Talk about fearless 😳! But nothing can stop us from pursuing our mission of making people feel good while doing good. 

🤣👋 When my baby (aka my business) started growing faster than I could manage, I knew it was time to recruit some help. Enter Shannen, the Director of First Impressions 👩‍💼. With her superhuman customer service skills 🦸‍♀️ and passion for our company's mission, Shannen quickly became an integral part of the team, keeping things running smoothly and bringing a smile to every customer's face 😊. Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief 😅 knowing that I've got Shannen by my side, taking care of business like a boss. And with our powers combined, there's no telling how big this could get. 

From hand-poured soy wax melts and cold process soaps 🧼 to luxurious bath bombs and shower steamers, we use only the best ingredients, including hand-picked Kawakawa, New Zealand thermal mud, and of course, sulphur.  

Sulphur City Soapery continues to innovate and inspire with each new creation. Our cold process soap is a fan fave, made with natural ingredients that leave your skin feeling soft and nourished. And let's not forget about our bath bombs, filled with aromatic essential oils and therapeutic ingredients that turn your bath into a spa-like experience 🛀. But perhaps the real star of the show is Sulphur City Soapery's New Zealand thermal mud, sourced from New Zealand's geothermal wonderland. Packed with minerals and nutrients, this mud is a game-changer for anyone looking to detoxify and rejuvenate their skin 💆‍♀️. 

             

So go ahead, treat yourself to some Sulphur City Soapery goodness... your skin (and the planet) will thank you 🤗. And who knows, you might just become a part of the Sulphur City Soapery family, where passion, innovation, and natural ingredients meet to create something truly special ❤️. 

Have a soaper day
