Steeped in Tradition ~ Authentically Handmade

About Us

At Victorialily Soaps, we believe in the power of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring bond between nature and heritage. Our inspiration is drawn from centuries-old soapmaking practices—from the ash-and-fat lye soaps of the Viking era to the fragrant tallow balms of Victorian parlors, and the wildcrafted botanicals of Nordic apothecaries. Rooted in the rhythms of land and sea, our soaps are more than cleansing—they’re a return to the old ways.

With hands shaped by years of experience, we create small-batch, handcrafted soaps from old recipes. For us, soapmaking is more than a craft; it's a way of honoring the traditions passed down through generations. We take pride in the slow, deliberate process of creating products that are not only cleansing but sustainable, using ingredients sourced from pristine environments - wild flowers, infused herbal oils, essential oils, and hand-blended fragrances.

What makes us unique? Each soap is inspired by a story that weaves myths and legends with historical facts. Born of found ancient soap formulations, our bars carry the quiet imprint of timeworn places: windswept shores, hearth-lit cottages, ancient apothecaries, and crofter's herbal gardens.

Welcome to Victorialily Soaps — A modern day apothecary steeped in folklore and fragrance, where each bar whispers a story drawn from forgotten history.

From the Soapmaker's Ledger

17 Day of October

"The morning mist clings to the thatch as I stoke the hearth, the scent of tallow thick in the air. A batch of lavender and rosemary soap sets in the wooden mold, its fragrance mingling with the salt-kissed wind drifting in from the sea. The work is slow, measured - oils warmed, potash tempered, each stir of the ladle a quiet devotion to the craft.

Today I add a touch of lanolin, a gift from the shepherd's flock, to lend the soap a softness fit for winter-worn hands. A pinch of crushed rowan berry for luck. The old wives say it wards off ill-fortune - perhaps even the bitter bite of the northern cold.

On the morrow, the loaves will be set, ready to be cut and cured. Another day's labor, another step in a tradition as old as the tides.

To the hands that labor and the hearts that cherish, may each bar carry warmth and respite."
