Lauriche Soaps & Such

Celebrating 10 years of fabulous artisan soapmaking

Lauriche Soaps ‘n Such is a small home based business creating hand made artisan soaps, located in the community of Rayleigh in beautiful Kamloops, BC.

In the summer of 2014, inspired by some fabulous handmade soap I bought at the Kamloops Farmer’s market, I set upon a mission to learn how to make my own,  Now, well over 10,000 bars and counting, I still craft my soap in small batches in my “lab,” a small cubbyhole in the basement that has a workbench and power.

The earliest batches of soap were fragrance free, and the best soap I ever used! It was extremely effective at removing the smell of onion and garlic from food preparation in the kitchen, and I was hooked.

I have experimented with various fragrances, using essential oils and fragrance oils, and have many delicious fragrances that will delight your senses. Some soaps have various clays in them for colouring as well as conditioning.

Our soaps are big and chunky. While most hand made soaps are around 100g (4 oz.) our soaps are usually at least 140g and sometimes heavier.  So you get more for your money! Several of my customers have mentioned to me that they cut the bars in half for two fully functional bars of soap.

Click on the “Shop” link in the top navigation bar, or click here to see what kind of soap we make. If you live in Kamloops, we can arrange for you to come over and pick up your order, or I can deliver it to you for $10.00.

The 2024 Saturday Farmers’ Market is in the books!

It has been a great year at the Saturday Kamloops Farmers’ Market.  And now it’s on to the Christmas Craft Fair season.

Here is where you can find me for the next few weeks.

Dealing with December and Crazy Busy Craft Fairs

Soap does take some time to cure, so from here on out, I will not be able to make stock that will be ready for Christmas.
There is still lots of choice though, so fill your stockings!

I invite you to shop online for any products you need.  Are you pining for a particular fragrance that is not in stock?  Drop me an email and I will make it for you, as long as you will buy at least 4 bars and can wait a couple of weeks for it to cure a bit and evaporate off excess water.
