About Us And Our Soaps

I Am A Soaper

A "Soaper" is an age-old term for Soap Maker. I have been making soap since I was 15 years old. The first soap I ever made was lard soap. My grandmother taught me how to make it and that was over 50 years ago. I now make the best all natural organic soaps you can buy. My soaps are made with the highest grade vegetable based oils or animal oil based as in my Lard and Tallow soaps.

WE ONLY SELL 4 VARIETIES OF SOAP LOAVES & 4 VARIETIES OF GALLON LIQUIDS

As we are a small business operation our long term goal is to create the most efficient operation possible soas to remain profitable. For years we provided bars available singlely or in multiple quantities (as you can see from our many reviews). Due to extensive labor and low profit margins we've now settled on only providing 4 varieties of our most popular bar soaps sold as 2.5 lb soap loaves, and 4 varieties of our most popular liquid soaps sold only in gallon liquid bottles.  We also sell soap cutters, small storage bottles, and soap saver dishes.  

WE USE THE HIGHEST GRADE OLIVE OIL. MOST DON'T!

We use the highest grade Olive Oil available, "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" (also known as EVOO), which is made from the first pressing of ripe olives. The vast majority of other soap manufacturers, including highly advertised niche soap makers, make theirs with the very lowest grade "Pomace" olive oil. In fact Pomace Olive Oil is so low grade that it is extracted from already pressed olives using a very strong chemical solvent extraction process, many times leaving remnants of those solvents behind in the pomace oil.  If you are looking for the very best in quality soap products you should avoid companies that use it.

Again you will not find a better all natural handmade manly soap brand than Old Whippersnapper's Natural Handmade Manly Soaps. We make our soaps in a small country town at a small soap factory in Connecticut, part of old New England. Our soaps are handmade. We go out of our way to use Locally Sourced ingredients when possible.

The main ingredients for our vegan soaps include coconut oil, 100% extra virgin olive oil, and lye (which turns the oils into soap and naturally occurring glycerin). No lye remains after the soap is created. As previously mentioned we also sell lard and tallow based soaps and they include lard for the lard soaps, tallow for the tallow soaps, and lye (again turning the oils into soap and naturally occurring glycerin with no lye remaining after soap creation).
