Handmade soap loaves you cut yourself
What a soap loaf is, how to read olive oil and scent names in the title, and the loaves we list.
A soap loaf is a long block of soap sold whole. You cut it into bars yourself if that is what you want. We do not cut, stamp, or wrap individual bars. The price is for the loaf in the title, and UK mainland delivery is included. People buy loaves to cut for a market stall, for gifts, or for home use. We do not promise a yield in number of bars, because the title does not state a bar count or a loaf weight unless it does so in words you can read there.
Read the name for the scent or the oil the supplier chose to put in the title. “Argan - Olive Oil Soap Loaf” and “Chocolate - Olive Oil Soap Loaf” say olive oil because the title says it. “Baby Powder - Soap Loaf” and “Coastal Wilderness Soap Loaf” do not say olive oil, so we do not add it. We do not publish a full ingredient list on this guide. Use the product page. If the ingredients are not there, they were not in the data we have.
Handmade, when it appears, is the supplier’s word in that title. We do not extend it to every loaf. We also do not claim a skin result, a suitability for a skin condition, or a fragrance strength. Choose by the name you want on the bar you will cut.
The loaves are in Bath & Body. This page lists titles containing “soap loaf” and the catalogue price. Mini bath bombs are a different item, listed at bath bomb gift sets and mini bath bombs. Do not mix the two when you are planning a gift box. A loaf is one heavy block. A bomb box is a box of bombs.
Cut on a clean board with a knife you are willing to use on soap. We do not supply a cutter unless you buy a cutter whose own title says cutter. Any cutter in the shop is its own product, with its own price. Wipe the loaf and let cut bars dry as you prefer. We do not give a drying time, because we do not have one in the data.
Returns: a soap loaf you have cut is no longer in its original condition. Decide before you cut if you might send it back. The 14-day window and the seal rule are on the returns page. Uncut loaves in saleable condition are ordinary goods for a change of mind. Dispatch windows are on each product page and in where we deliver.
The price on the product page is the price you pay. UK mainland delivery is already included. There is no extra delivery line and no spend threshold. Zestperk is not VAT registered, so VAT is not added at checkout. The shop is online and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for browsing and ordering. That is not a promise of a staffed phone line.
Most lines are dispatched in 1–2 working days, or 3–4 working days in October, November and December. A few say same-day dispatch before 2pm, Monday to Friday. The product page states which. Those are windows, not a guaranteed day of arrival. We do not publish a last-order date for Christmas.
You can cancel within 14 days of delivery and then have 14 days to send the item back. You pay return postage unless the item is faulty or not as described. Sealed bath, oil and skincare items cannot be returned for a change of mind once the seal is broken. That does not affect your rights if something is faulty. Start at the returns page and wait for instructions before you post.
Checkout refuses a postcode in Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isles of Scilly, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, or a BFPO address. Full wording is on the delivery page. If a title says “pack of”, or starts with “Pack of”, the price is for that pack. See what “pack of” means and how a price works.

Questions
Do you cut the loaf?
No. A loaf is sold whole. Cutting it into bars is something you do, not a service we offer.
Does every loaf contain olive oil?
Only the titles that say olive oil. Other loaves use the scent name in the title and nothing more.
Is the price for one bar?
No. The price is for the loaf named in the title, with mainland delivery included.
