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 pump contributes to something larger than a clean pair of hands — it funds real impact, right here at home. At five litres, that impact is impossible to ignore.

Inspired by the Australian Landscape

Lemon myrtle grows wild along the subtropical rainforests of Australia's east coast — ancient, resilient and impossibly fragrant. Long cherished by First Nations peoples for its remarkable medicinal and culinary properties, it is one of this continent's greatest botanical gifts. Five litres of it, flowing through your home or workspace every day, honouring that extraordinary heritage one pump at a time.

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. Choosing a five litre refill is one of the most impactful household swaps you can make — dramatically reducing plastic waste without sacrificing a single drop of quality. 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.
