One of the primary reasons people are drawn to soap offcuts is the cost savings they offer. These small, irregularly shaped pieces are often sold at a fraction of the price of full-sized bars. For budget-conscious consumers or those who want to try different scents and formulations without committing to a full bar, offcuts can be a wallet-friendly solution.
At The Little Goat Soap Company we sell our offcuts in 500g bundles in all our top scents and variations at for approximately 60% of the usual cost per gram price.
It's only natural to have some concerns when considering the purchase of soap offcuts. Common worries include:
Quality: Will offcuts be as high in quality as full-sized bars? The answer is usually yes. Offcuts are typically made from the same soap base and contain the same essential ingredients. This is the case with all offcuts available from The Little Goat Soap Company
Fragrance: Some people worry that offcuts won't be as fragrant as regular soap. This is not something to worry about, as the offcuts we sell are just the slightly wobbly edges of the same large block our standard soaps come from.
Presentation: Offcuts may not have the polished appearance of a full bar, but this doesn't affect their effectiveness.
Durability: The irregular shape of offcuts can make them seem less durable, but they still lather and cleanse just as effectively. You may end up with a slightly thinner than ideal piece but the beauty of selling in 500g packs you are will not be left short changed and block sizes will vary.
Opting for soap offcuts can be a responsible choice for the environment. It reduces waste by utilizing the leftover pieces that might otherwise be discarded. This means less soap ending up in landfills, making it a more eco-friendly option for the environmentally conscious consumer. Reducing waste is always a step in the right direction, and choosing offcuts is a small yet meaningful way to contribute.
Soap offcuts are a natural byproduct of the soap-making process. They result from cutting and shaping large soap blocks into smaller bars. Rather than disposing of these offcuts, some soap manufacturers and artisans, like ourselves, choose to make them available for sale. It's a win-win situation, as it minimizes waste and offers consumers an affordable and sustainable way to enjoy high-quality soap.

In conclusion, the decision to buy soap offcuts depends on your preferences and priorities. If you're looking for an economical way to enjoy quality soap, reduce waste, and experiment with different scents and formulations, offcuts could be a fantastic choice. While concerns about quality, fragrance, and presentation may exist, they are often minor and easily outweighed by the benefits.
Ultimately, purchasing soap offcuts is a sustainable, budget-friendly option for those who wish to enjoy the benefits of artisanal soap without breaking the bank.
