Our History

Caurnie Soaperie: Crafting the Finest Scottish Natural Skin Care Products Since 1922

 

Caurnie Soaperie, located in Kirkintilloch, has been a pioneer in producing exceptional Scottish natural skin care products since its establishment in 1922. Committed to using organic herbs and essential oils, our aim is to provide customers with the best in natural soap and fresh herbal body care. Over the years, Caurnie has earned a reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

One of the unique aspects of our Soaperie is the charming "Old Curiosity Shop" ambiance that greets visitors. The air is infused with the delightful scents of the essential oils we use in our manufacturing process. Handmade with authenticity, our Soaperie preserves the tradition of the 1920s, from the granite floor to the soap-splattered rafters. Even our soap-cutting tools adhere faithfully to this cherished tradition.

Experience Caurnie's legacy firsthand by visiting our Soaperie between 10 am and 2 pm on Tuesdays. You can witness the production process and purchase our high-quality soaps in person, right at the Scottish place of production.

Since its inception, Caurnie has come a long way. From the days of delivering pure soap to customers' doors on a monthly basis until the mid-1970s, we have expanded our reach. Our UFO-shaped glycerine soaps in refreshing scents like cucumber, rose, lavender, mandarin, almond, and fern became popular in whole-food shops across the UK and beyond during the 1970s.

In the 1990s, we brought Caurnie soap to The Country Living shows and Scottish Farmers' Markets throughout the country. While we take pride in our traditional, time-proven products, we also embrace innovation. Continuously evolving, our range now includes the finest Scottish natural skin care products, such as soaps, shampoos, shower gels, and lotions.

Choosing Caurnie Soap means choosing satisfaction. Our loyal customers return to us time and again, and that's because you are our priority. We work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the finest products and exceptional service.
