A Brand Rooted in Nature and Craft
At Willow & Rowe, we believe the most meaningful self-care begins with intention. It is about gifting yourself a moment of time, choosing 'better', and surrounding yourself with products that feel as good ethically as they do sensorially. Few brands embody this philosophy quite like The Vely Soapery.
A female-founded, independent British business, The Vely Soapery epitomises our "value pillars" concept, creating beautifully handcrafted soaps and lip balms using traditional methods, natural ingredients, and a deep commitment to sustainability. Each product is made in small batches in London, bringing a sense of craftsmanship and care that is increasingly rare in modern beauty.
This is not just skincare. It is a return to simplicity.
Founded by Halyna Velytok, The Vely Soapery was born from a love of natural ingredients and sensory ritual. From botanical scents to carefully balanced formulations, the brand remains grounded in a clear ethos: to create self-care essentials that are kind to both skin and planet.
- Handmade in small batches using the traditional cold-process method
- Made with 100% natural ingredients including plant oils, butters and clays
- Scented with essential oils only
- Vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and palm oil-free
- Plastic-free, recyclable or biodegradable packaging
Soaps are wrapped in unbleached cotton bags, while lip balms are housed in eco-friendly cardboard tubes. Every detail is considered.
Italian Summer: A Cult (and award-winning) Favourite
Among the collection, one soap consistently stands out: Italian Summer.
Handmade with calendula petals and infused with uplifting citrus essential oils, this soap energises both skin and senses. Notes of lemongrass and litsea cubeba create a bright, sun-drenched fragrance that feels instantly transportive.
“A delightful blend of sweetness, citrus and summer vibes.”
This award-recognised favourite is a perfect entry point into natural soap, and makes a thoughtful, uplifting gift.

Early Morning: A Fresh Start, Naturally
One of our most popular products, Early Morning offers a crisp, invigorating and perfectly uplifting scent.
Blended with green clay and mint, it delivers a refreshing cleanse that awakens the senses. The clay gently purifies, while mint essential oil creates a cooling, revitalising experience.
It transforms even the simplest routine into something grounding and restorative.
The Guest Soap Set: Thoughtful, Elegant Gifting
The Guest Soap Set is ideal for gifting or discovering the range.
- Includes best-selling scents like Italian Summer and Early Morning
- Perfect for guests, travel or self-care rituals
- A beautiful, sustainable gifting option
Each mini soap is crafted with the same care and quality as the full-sized bars.
Natural Lip Balms: Everyday Essentials, Elevated
The Vely Soapery’s natural lip balms are quietly exceptional.
Hand-poured in small batches, they are made with vegan waxes, nourishing oils and botanical extracts to hydrate and protect without synthetic additives.
- Plastic-free cardboard tubes
- Travel-friendly and long-lasting
- Available in classic and tinted options
Handmade Matters
Every soap is hand-mixed, poured, cut and wrapped. Lip balms are filled individually in small batches.
This ensures not only quality, but individuality. No two pieces are exactly the same. That is where the beauty lies.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Sustainability is at the core of The Vely Soapery.
Products are designed to be biodegradable, plastic-free, low-waste and long-lasting. Even the soap-on-a-rope design helps extend product life by allowing bars to dry properly between uses.
This is conscious consumption made simple.
