Calgary’s famous adventure soap company, and one of Alberta’s top-rated soaps, Bowness Soapworks is a small handmade soap company located in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

OUR MISSION

We believe in the power of bringing soap to the people and creating an adventuring community alongside that. Bowness Soapworks wants to make artisan quality soap and connect customers with other amazing local small businesses. This is how Soap Club was born.

Soap Club is a soap subscription that delivers handmade soap to your door while supporting other local businesses by giving you exclusive perks and deals. Our hope is that these perks will encourage our subscribers to continue supporting other small businesses.

OUR STORIES

Owner and founder Melba has spent decades honing her handmade & foraging skills in and around the Rocky Mountains. She loves to teach others the skills she has acquired through the years.

Inspired by her adventures climbing, paddling, and foraging, her soaps are designed with the passion and intention of her experiences. Often infused with ingredients picked by hand with the help of her little humans and community, she believes in creating natural soaps with simple and minimal ingredients.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

One of the most important aspects of Bowness Soapworks is to build community through the soaps. Most of the bars are created in collaboration with at least one small business. WE believe in creating value in the things we as consumers spend our money and time on.

When you buy a bar of Bowness Soapworks, you support a whole community of people and organizations.
