Base Ethical Soaps - Clean Conscience. Clean Skin.

The Coconut Castile bar is simplicity at its finest — pure, gentle and nourishing. Rooted in the centuries-old Castile tradition of plant-based soapmaking, this bar swaps the classic olive oil base for the rich, creamy lather of coconut, delivering a cleanse that feels as wholesome as it sounds.

🌿 Rich, creamy lather from pure coconut oil.

🌿 Gentle enough for sensitive and everyday skin.

🌿 Inspired by centuries of Castile soapmaking tradition.

🌿 Lightly scented, clean and fresh.

🌿 Olive and coconut oil based.

What began as a batch of Christmas gifts grew into something far more meaningful. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, one a PhD chemist, the other a passionate advocate for ethical living, Base Ethical Soaps has been handcrafting tens of thousands of bars and liquid soaps annually since 2017.

The ethos is disarmingly simple: give people the personal care products they use every day, made properly, with the most local, ethical and high-quality Australian ingredients possible.

A Social Enterprise With Purpose

Base is more than a soap company. As a social enterprise, profits flow directly into health projects for Australian communities. Every bar you buy contributes to something larger than a clean bathroom shelf — it funds real impact, right here at home.

Inspired by the Australian Landscape

The colours, textures and scents of the Southern Tablelands run through everything Base creates. Even in its purest form, the Coconut Castile bar carries the spirit of honest, grounded Australian making — nothing unnecessary, nothing wasted.

Natural. Vegan. Cruelty Free.

Every product is handcrafted from all-natural ingredients, entirely vegan and never tested on animals. The result is a range that works hard and remains gentle on your skin — because what's good for the planet should feel good on your body.

Sustainably Made

From ingredient sourcing to packaging, Base treads lightly. Natural formulations, sustainable materials and a genuine commitment to minimising environmental footprint sit at the heart of every decision made in their workshop.

Our family, our community, our planet — we are all connected. Base Ethical Soaps exists to honour that connection, one bar at a time.
