Christina May was founded in 2000 by Bob and Juliet after they discovered a large number of vintage soap moulds lying disused in a machinery workshop in a farm in Kent. This, combined with an old book on the science and alchemy behind making soap is how our story began.
What began as a retirement hobby and a fascination in the art of traditional soap making soon developed into a successful business, expanding into a large farm site in the heart of the Sussex countryside. As well as manufacturing soaps for the premium sector within the UK, Christina May exports to over 35 different countries over 6 continents.
