Our Liquid Soap Journey: Pure, Gentle, and Now in Aluminium

At The Australian Natural Soap Company, we’ve always been passionate about making liquid soap the right way—without harsh detergents, synthetic fragrances, or unnecessary additives. While commercial body washes have become the norm, most people don’t realise they’re not actually soap at all—they're detergents, packed with foaming agents that strip the skin’s natural oils.

Our liquid soaps? They’re different.

Unlike mass-produced body washes, our liquid soap takes six weeks to set. That’s because we craft it the traditional way, using pure Australian olive oil and natural essential oils. The result? A rich, nourishing soap that cleanses without stripping, leaving your skin soft, balanced, and hydrated.

From our gentle Olive Castile to the uplifting freshness of Lemon Myrtle, every bottle is packed with nature’s best—not petrochemicals.

From the beginning, we knew we had a challenge. Our liquid soaps were amazing—but how do you package a sustainable product without plastic?

The reality of plastic recycling in Australia is grim:

That’s why we refused to go down the plastic path. Instead, we started with 500ml glass bottles—a beautiful, refillable option that many of you love. But we also know that glass isn’t for everyone—whether it’s little hands in the bathroom, the risk of breaking, or the weight of a full bottle.

To make refilling easy and completely plastic-free, we also introduced our 2L steel tins, designed for bulk buying and reducing waste.

But we knew we could go even further.

That’s where our newest packaging innovation comes in—500ml aluminium bottles. Designed to be bought once and used again and again, aluminium offers the best of both worlds:

Sustainable – Aluminium is infinitely recyclable, with 75% of all aluminium ever produced still in use today.

Durable & Lightweight – No risk of breaking, and easy to handle.

Closes the Loop – Unlike plastic, aluminium is actually recycled, with a far higher recycling rate worldwide.

A Beautiful Addition to Your Home – Sleek, minimalist, and designed to last.

This means you now have three great options for our liquid soaps:

500ml Glass Bottles – Timeless, refillable, and perfect for those who love glass.

2L Steel Tins – The ultimate plastic-free bulk refill.

500ml Aluminium Bottles – Lightweight, durable, and designed for life.

Whichever option you choose, our goal remains the same—to make truly natural, nourishing liquid soap that’s better for your skin and the planet. So whether you love the elegance of glass, the practicality of aluminium, or the efficiency of bulk tins, we’ve got a sustainable option that works for you.
