Our Story: Crafted with Nature, Inspired by Australia

Golden Wattle Soaps began not in a bustling factory, but in a small Melbourne kitchen, fueled by a passion for natural living and a deep appreciation for the Australian environment. Our founder, Eliza, was searching for skincare that was both effective and gentle, free from harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances that often irritated her sensitive skin. Disappointed with the mass-produced options available, she turned to the age-old tradition of soap making, experimenting with recipes and local ingredients.

Inspired by the golden wattle, Australia's national floral emblem, Eliza envisioned creating soaps that captured the essence of the Australian landscape – its vibrant colours, unique scents, and nourishing botanicals. The golden wattle, known for its resilience and beauty, became a symbol for the brand's commitment to natural strength and gentle care. Each soap is handcrafted using traditional cold-process methods, ensuring that the natural goodness of the ingredients is preserved. We carefully select botanical extracts, essential oils, and natural clays, many sourced directly from local Victorian producers, to create soaps that are not only effective but also a luxurious treat for the senses.

We believe in the power of nature to nourish and heal. Our soaps are more than just cleansing bars; they are an invitation to slow down, to connect with nature, and to indulge in a moment of self-care. We are deeply committed to sustainability, from our eco-friendly packaging made from recycled materials to our ethical sourcing practices that support local farmers and minimize our environmental footprint. We strive to create products that are kind to your skin and kind to the planet, reflecting the natural beauty and integrity of Australia itself. From our humble beginnings, Golden Wattle Soaps has grown into a beloved local brand, sharing the gift of natural skincare with our community and beyond. We invite you to experience the Golden Wattle difference and join us in celebrating the beauty of natural, handcrafted soap.

The Purity of Our Ingredients

We believe in the power of nature. That's why we source the finest local ingredients to create soaps that are gentle, nourishing, and environmentally conscious.

Botanical Oils

  • Olive Oil
  • Coconut Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Sweet Almond Oil

Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, our botanical oils provide deep hydration and nourishment for healthy, radiant skin. We carefully select these oils for their unique properties, ensuring a luxurious and beneficial experience for your skin. From the moisturizing richness of shea butter sourced from sustainable cooperatives, to the light and easily absorbed sweet almond oil, each botanical oil plays a crucial role in creating our gentle yet effective soap formulations.

Essential Oils

  • Lavender
  • Eucalyptus
  • Lemon Myrtle
  • Tea Tree

Sourced from Australian native plants and beyond, our essential oils offer therapeutic benefits and delightful natural fragrances. We harness the power of aromatherapy by carefully blending these oils not only for their captivating scents, but also for their skin-loving properties. Imagine the calming embrace of lavender, the invigorating freshness of eucalyptus, the uplifting citrus burst of lemon myrtle, and the purifying touch of tea tree – each essential oil is chosen to enhance your daily cleansing ritual and promote well-being.

Natural Clays & Extracts

  • Australian Pink Clay
  • Kaolin Clay
  • Activated Charcoal
  • Oatmeal

For gentle exfoliation, detoxification, and added skin benefits, we incorporate natural clays and plant extracts into our soap formulations. Australian pink clay, with its delicate rose hue, gently cleanses and revitalizes the skin, while kaolin clay soothes and calms sensitive complexions. Activated charcoal works wonders to draw out impurities, and finely milled oatmeal provides a mild exfoliation, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. These natural additives enhance the texture and functionality of our soaps, offering a truly holistic skincare experience.
