Wherever possible, we always try to use local suppliers for our Suma branded products and our ALTER/NATIVE by Suma range is no exception. All our body care soaps and liquid products are proudly made in Yorkshire.
High in the Pennines of West Yorkshire, just a hop skip and a jump from Suma, are the secret headquarters of one of our soap bar makers. Okay –, it’s not really that secret but the rest is true. Something that is also true is that this company has been producing luxurious natural soap for well over a decade.
The owners and Willy Wonka’s of the soap world are two former Suma workers. Both are united in a passion for sustainability and quality that permeates every aspect of their business, starting with a dedication to using the traditional cold process, which not only generates zero by-produce but also allows them to choose every ingredient themselves.
The traditional cold process method takes two days and the soaps are then allowed to cure for 21 days. As little energy as possible is used throughout production; they pour, and cut every bar of soap using a mixture of Yorkshire grit and elbow grease, and each bar is individually boxed in recycled and recyclable cardboard boxes.
