FOUNDER'S STORY

BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE, ALL-NATURAL

Founder's Story Image Founder's Story Image

Founded by Tina, Fat Tui Soap Studio was born from a love of nature's simplicity. Inspired by the beauty of everyday rituals and a longing for the pace of simpler times, Tina’s journey began with a desire for soap that was both beneficial for her skin and beautiful to use.

Seeking better than the synthetic options on the market, Tina began to craft her own – using plant-based ingredients and traditional methods. Surrounded by native flora and birdlife she was never short of inspiration, leading to a colour palette and ingredients list created by nature.

When it came time to create the brand, Tina was influenced by the portly Tuis who perch contentedly outside her studio, supervising as she blends ingredients.

The products and packaging are inspired by the hues of the tui and the beautiful Kowhai and Harakeke flowers they feed on. While the soap textures and designs also pay homage to these elements - together subtly telling the story of the Fat Tui brand.

The name ‘Fat Tui Soap Studio’ and the unique branding reflect the connection to the natural world – both in the ingredients chosen and the environment where each product is crafted.

Today Fat Tui Soap Studio is known for luxury artisan soaps.

Ingredients

At its essence, soap is natural skincare

As our first point of contact with the world, our skin deserves the utmost care. Unlike synthetic alternatives, Fat Tui Soap Studio handcrafts each bar with premium oils, botanicals and rich clays to nourish your skin naturally.

Every soap is made with our exclusive formula

Olive Oil

Rich in antioxidants, and vitamins A and E, olive oil is beautifully moisturising and nourishing. It helps to restore skin’s balance, hydrate and soothe, while gently cleansing, making it perfect for all skin types.

Coconut Oil

A naturally hydrating and nourishing oil, coconut oil penetrates deep in the skin, leaving you feeling soft and supple. Its antibacterial properties cleanse and protect the skin.

Rice Bran Oil

Abundant in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, rice bran oil helps to fight free radicals, for a youthful glow. This easily-absorbed oil gives our soap a light, silky-smooth finish.

Shea Butter (Organic, Fair Trade)

Traditionally used as a moisturiser and medicinal ointment, shea butter contains vitamin A and E which naturally support your skin health. This luxurious emollient deeply moisturises while cleansing, making it a beautiful match for dry or irritated skin.

Castor Oil (Cold Pressed, Organic)

Richy moisturising and beautifully lathering, caster oil is a versatile addition to our soaps. Its high ricinoleic acid content helps to naturally reduce inflammation and keep the skin hydrated.

Cocoa Butter (Organic, Fair Trade)

We only use high-quality, ethical cocoa butter in our soaps, known for being deeply moisturising and beneficial to dry skin.

Distilled water

A pure and clean base, our distilled water ensures the efficacy of our other ingredients. Water helps to create a luxurious lather and facilitates the saponification process.
