About Me

Yummy suds creates fresh, handmade, lip smacking good vegetarian based bath and body products that smell good enough to eat. Most of our products are vegan.

We believe in using fresh, unrefined products, like unrefined fair trade shea butter, organic cocoa butter, kokum butter, mango butter, avocado butter, aloe butter, jojoba oil, cherry kernel oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, wheat germ oil, tamanu oil, pumpkin oil, sesame oil, fresh fruits, oats, botanicals, absolutes, pure essential oils and safe synthetics when we must.

Quality products is our mantra and quality is never sacrificed.

Fresh is also a requirement, so more than 95% of our products are preservative free and when we must, we use a paraben free preservative.

Our products are made by hand, in small batches, so it’s fresh when you receive it.

We are also conscious of our impact on the environment and spend huge amounts of time researching new packaging that is recycled and/or reusable. Many of our products are displayed naked, to reduce waste.

We don't test our products on animals and only work with companies who don’t participate in animal testing.

How did we come up with the name? The single word everyone used after smelling our products, “Yummy!” and so yummy suds was born ☺

Saving the world, one bath at a time…………yummy suds.
