Soap By the Loaf  Wholesale soap loaves ready to be cut and labeled with your own company name. NEW - LOWER MINIMUM.  Order minimum now only 3 loaves of soap instead of 6 !

Soap by the loaf offers wholesale natural soap in bulk for resale.  Entire loaves of soap are ready for you to cut into bars and label with your own company name.  Large soap blocks now available at a discounted price over single loaves.

All of our wholesale soap loaves begin with base oils of coconut, soybean, olive oil and shea butter.  They are scented with real essential oils from plants and do not contain artificial chemical fragrance..  Some specialty soaps may contain added oils such as cocoa butter or castor oil.

Why buy wholesale soap from our company?  First of all, we've been doing this for over ten years now.  If there is one thing we know, it is soap.  Also, Soap by the Loaf and Green Pergola only uses real essential oils in our soaps.  We know that it can be extremely confusing when customers are shopping around for wholesale soap, especially when the fragrance oil versus essential oil debate begins.  If you are looking for high quality wholesale soap made from only real essential oils, one way to determine exactly what you are getting is by looking at the price.  Fragrance oil can be very affordable while real essential oils - which come from plants - have prices based on the type of plant and the crop performance.  So, when you find wholesale soap for only $15 dollars a loaf, it is most likely made with artificial fragrance.  Pricing is an important factor when trying to decide whether your supplier will be delivering a soap that is truly natural.

Also, does the supplier list ALL of the ingredients in the soap?  So many wholesale soap companies talk about their olive oil soaps when, in fact, the soap is a mixture of several oils - one of them being olive oil.  In the United States, if olive oil is IN the soap, it is perfectly legal for a soap maker to refer to the soap as olive oil soap, even though it is not made entirely of olive oil. 

Soap by the Loaf and Green Pergola tells you every single ingredient found in our wholesale soap.  The list is simple - olive oil, coconut oil, soybean oil and shea butter.  The scent comes from real plant based essential oils and the color comes from oxides and pigments - in other words, the same colorant used to make mineral makeup.

handmade soap loaves measure 14.5 inches long x 3 inches wide x 2.5 inches high.

handmade soap blocks measure 14.5 inches long x 9 inches wide x 2.5 inches high.

Below is from our Green Pergola blog and explains our decision to reopen Soap by the Loaf:

We recently decided to reopen our bulk wholesale site for loaves of soap.
Soap by the Loaf was quite an active site for us with plenty of private label customers needing handmade soap with real essential oils. After opening our retail store, moving to a new house, trying to set up a new workshop, etc. -- the time came for us to choose between bulk wholesale and our retail store.

Now we've been in the new house for almost a year, the new workshop is set up and running and we've ordered new bulk soap molds to up our production. Also, cutting out several products from our Green Pergola line (things that didn't sell that often) helped us to focus on what we do best -- making soap. Now we're ready to move ahead with rebuilding our wholesale soap business, something we really enjoyed and have missed this past year.

So, the soap loaf wholesale site is updated now and almost completely ready for shopping. Still adding in the option to purchase wholesale soap in blocks as well as loaves. ( soap loaves make about a dozen, four ounce bars of soap - soap blocks makes about thirty-six bars of soap).

I'm sure many of our former private label customers have found new sources now. But many still call or email with complaints that they haven't found a product that compares to our's. That is always an excellent compliment and makes us glad that we've decided to reopen
Soap by the Loaf

Sincerely,
The Green Guys

TESTIMONIALS

I own a essential oil and herb company and manufacture blended oil and herb products. I was needing to add something to my line to boost sales ... attract that customer who did not need one of my other products and to use in packages. The Green Pergola was great in assisting me with selecting a line of soap loaves that fit my customer line. The soap sales gave myself and my distributors an immediate boost. They work wonderful in sale packages.  It attracts the customers who do not know much about or need oil and herb products. The interest in the soap has brought sales to our other products.  The most important thing other than the sales boost is Green Pergola offers some of the best customer service on the market today, which means so much to a business owner going in several directions. Thanks

"My mother gave me a bar of your lavender rosemary that she raves about all the time.  I spend a lot of time outdoors and my skin gets really dry.  Since I started using the natural soap my skin feels really smooth.  It helped when it came time to start my own business and being able to order soap by the loaf has increased my sales."
Linda Owens, Friendswood, TX

"Adding your soap to my product line really helped sales in my gift basket business.  At first, we just used the soap as a filler in our gift baskets.  Now, some customers come back just wanting to buy the soap and we're making money without even having to make a basket."
Trina Ezra, Newport Beach, CA

"I have used soap made by Green Pergola for over 5 years.  My all time favorite, and one I cannot get away from is Lemongrass Sage.  The soap leaves a  very clean feel.  One of my teenagers spent the night with a friend and used detergent soap from the grocery store.  She came back home and said, 'Remind me to take soap next time.  That other made me itch.' "  Now I order loaves of soap to give as Christmas gifts each year.
Sandra James, Goodlettsville, TN

"I looked all over the internet trying to find wholesale soap.  After so many disappointments, we were so thrilled when we found your website.  It is just the best soap we've ever used.  The customers in our store just can't get enough of it and don't mind paying five dollars for a bar of good quality soap.Lucky for me I buy wholesale because my family ends up stealing at least a third of the soap we order from you."
Betty Mason, Staten Island, New York

"There were so many businesses selling wholesale soap that we were overwhelmed by the options.  After doing a little research, we found that many of the suppliers were selling fragrance oil soap as essential oils.  I am glad to have found a soap supplier that we can buy wholesale from that only deals with real essential oils.  By the way, I love the minty eucalyptus soap.  Will be ordering more soon."
Marsha Bellows, Lexington, KY.


above is a photo of an entire BLOCK of soap.  We've placed a twenty dollar bill beside the soap block to help you visualize its size. The pictured soap block is Lavender Rosemary.  One block of handmade soap equals three loaves of soap or approximately 36, 4 oz. bars -- more if you decide to sell you soap in 3 oz. bars.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about the soap loaves:  For the full list of questions and answers, visit our information page here.

Do you have a minimum ordering amount?
Green Pergola wants to make it easy for small business to succeed in the natural market.  Our ordering minimum is low -- only 3 loaves.  They do NOT have to be of the same type....you can order different soap loaves.  Why do we do this?  Soap by the Loaf was designed for business owners wanting to incorporate handmade soap into their line of products -- not as a place where retail customers have a place to order good soap (strictly for their own use) at a wholesale price.  We also do this to protect our wholesale clients --- after all, you need a customer to sell to, right?

How large are your wholesale soap loaves?
soap logs measure at (NEW SIZE*) 14.5" long, 3" wide and approx 2.5" high.  With the width we choose to cut our own soaps, we get a return of 12 bars per loaf that weigh in around 3.8 - 4 ounces per bar, depending on the formula and botanical contents.  (our loaves used to be
15.5 x 3.75 x 2.  These are no longer available.  See our new size above.  New size equals same weight as our previous soap loaves)

How large are your soap BLOCKS?
each soap LOAF was cut from a larger BLOCK of soap.  A soap BLOCK is 3 loaves of soap that has not been cut into loaves.  Soap BLOCKS measure 14.5" x 9" x 2.5" high.  Soap blocks give you greater freedom in choosing how to cut your soap into BARS to create your company's own, unique size of soap.  Soap BLOCKS cost around 10% less than buying three loaves.

How much does each loaf weigh? I'm trying to calculate shipping.
freshly made, each soap loaf still contains a higher amount of water content which will evaporate as the curing process takes place.  Each loaf weighs approx 4 lbs (some a little under).  When calculating shipping via UPS, we generally go by the rule-of-thumb "4 pounds per loaf".  Soap blocks weigh approximately 12 pounds each.
