About
Verða Soap is a small, female led handmade soap business located in Trondheim, Norway. We source exclusively natural, sustainable and organic materials for our joyful, handmade and vegan bar soaps. 1 % of profits donated to charity.
We had our modest beginnings in 2017, when our founder started experimenting with cold process soapmaking. With accuracy and patience developed from years in the kitchen, it was no problem to learn the precise art of mixing oils and lye to create solid bar soap. In late 2017, we launched our Etsy shop, and in February 2018, this website was born!
Being a hippy to boot and concerned global citizen, there was never a doubt in our hearts that Verða Soap was going to be a sustainable, natural and organic business with a fair business model. It was go big or go home, and to us that meant sourcing organic materials right from the beginning. We only use natural colourants, clays, oils and essential oils, and we plan on keeping it that way.
Why the name Verða?
It's from old Norse, meaning "to be" or "to become". However, When I first saw the word, I could not help but think about the French word "verde", which means green. So, in my mind, this became a business all about being or striving to become green, as in sustainable. Our main goal is to make the world a little greener and better, and we hope you will help us achieve that!

Still in the early stages of our business, Verða Soap is run out of our home near lovely Trondheim, Norway. With its gorgeous fjords and rich, bountiful forests. Our goal one day is to make contracts with other local shops focusing on ethical and sustainable products. We hope to be available in physical shops within the end of 2018. Time will tell!
