Meet the 7soaps team - Karen Blanchfield

Hi I am Karen and I am a working mum. My husband and I run our own engineering business in the West Midlands but in my spare time (I know what spare time lol) I am passionate about the environment and the community we live in.


In 2019 Xime and I attended a soap making course and loved how you could create beautiful naturally handmade soaps in your kitchen. This really was a game changer for me, enabling me to combine my passion for the environment with my creative side - making something that I believe in.


​After giving our soaps to family and friends we were amazed by their response and request for more. We decided to get our soap recipes assessed to enable us to sell our soaps to our community friends. We have studied the ingredients in our soaps and learnt about the unique beneficial qualities essential oils have helping to maintain a healthier body and mind. I personally love using natural ingredients (NO CHEMICALS) ensuring our products have a positive impact on our environment without polluting our soil, oceans or health.



I LOVE MAKING SOAPS...

I suffer from eczema and have incredibly dry skin. The natural oils in our soaps moisturise and nurture my skin incredibly. With the soaps only containing natural ingredients I suffer no reactions from our range. This inspires me to keep going and encourage anyone else who suffers with skin problems to use our products.
Over the last year we have studied the history and chemistry behind soap making using many natural ingredients found around the home and garden that benefit many skin types. We have successfully made our natural soap range, dog shampoo bars and salt soap bars including a gentleman's shaving bars. 7soaps has grown into my family life and allowed me to have a beautiful cottage industry that I'm extremely proud of.
