We're still working on fresh batches as our current stock starts to run low.
Over the past three days we've made more Lumberjack beard oil, Black Pepper & Birch sore muscle rub, Lavender bath salts, Chill Out foot soak, Lilac botanical lotion, and packaged more Assorted Soap Ends.

I started Purple Urchin many many years ago because I wanted to create a product I could sell that allowed me to be creative, while also being a useful product everyone needs (soap) and not cluttering up landfills (soap washes away!). Over time, Purple Urchin's product range expanded when customers kept asking for other natural products, which couldn't be easily found in stores at the time. I've always focused on creating products that are high quality, as natural as possible, that perform as well as (if not better than) commercial synthetic based products, and that smell great and feel nice when using. Being a life-long vegetarian, our products have always been plant-based and vegetarian, and many are fully vegan.
Purple Urchin products are still made by me, here in Ottawa. Most are made from scratch, some are made using bases that I then customize. I also handle almost every other behind-the-scenes aspect of the business myself, from product packaging and labelling, product formulation and development, label design, finance, admin, ingredient and material sourcing and purchasing, inventory, wholesale, website updates, copywriting, some of the social media, answering emails, advertising, you name it, I do it.
This business is a huge part of my life, and I'm so thankful for all of our loyal customers and everyone who has supported us past, present, and future.
(Fun fact, I made my first batch of soap almost exactly 20 years ago, in November 2005!)

Every batch is then lovingly hand-cut, hand-stamped, and allowed to cure undisturbed for approximately four weeks, ensuring a beautifully hardened bar. We meticulously hand-trim away any rough edges before each soap is individually wrapped by hand, ready for you to enjoy.
Crafting this stunning soap truly is a labour of love—and a joy we are proud to share.
