At Melody Road Soap Co., we don’t just mix oils and lye to make soap—our soap maker, Fanny, creates an experience, one inspired by the pristine, untamed landscapes of Tasmania.
We believe soap should do more than clean you up. It should leave you feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the world. That’s why every bar we make is infused with the essence of Tasmania. From the crisp mountain air to the rich, fertile soils and the bracing southern seas, we take inspiration from the raw beauty of our island home. Whether it’s ingredients sourced straight from nature or fragrances that capture the wild heart of the land, our soaps are a tribute to the place we call home.
To make our cold-process soap, Fanny meticulously combines lye with water. It might sound simple, but this step demands respect. It’s a powerful chemical reaction that generates heat and requires careful handling. After all, it’s the wild dance between lye and oils that brings our soap to life.
Once the lye solution has cooled, Fanny gently stirs it into the oils until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency—a stage we soap makers call trace. That’s when we bring in the good stuff: natural clays, plant-based colours, fine Tasmanian botanicals, and bold, fragrant oil blends that don’t just smell good—they make a statement.
The soap then rests overnight, nestled in moulds and swaddled in insulating towels. By morning, it’s firm and ready to be cut into robust bars. But they’re not ready for action yet. A month of curing is needed—a time of quiet transformation in our curing room—until each bar reaches its full potential, offering a rich lather and long-lasting freshness.
This journey—from raw, elemental ingredients to the solid, fragrant bars of soap you hold in your hands—is a testament to time-honoured patience, artisanal craftsmanship, and a deep reverence for Tasmania’s natural beauty. It’s a journey that Fanny and every member of the Melody Roadteam take immense pride in with every batch we create.
So next time you step into your shower, Melody Roadsoap in hand, know that you’re not just washing away the day’s grit—you’re immersing yourself in a story of tradition, nature, and craftsmanship. Each wash is more than just a routine—it’s your personal connection to the wild heart of Tasmania, right there in your bathroom.
1. Get your skin wet. Whether you’re in the shower, at the sink, or fresh out of the ocean, start with a little water.
2. Lather up. Rub the bar between your hands or directly onto your skin. No need to overthink it—just let the soap do its job.
3. Scrub like you mean it. Use your hands, a washcloth, or a loofah if you’re feeling fancy.
4. Rinse off. Let the goodness soak in for a moment, then rinse clean.
5. Store it right. Keep your soap on a well-draining dish to make it last longer. It’s a hardworking bar—it deserves a good home.
