Simon’s Soapbox – bold scents, bold story, for those who lead with purpose, one lather at a time
I’m excited to share something new with you all! Over the past few months, I’ve been meeting and connecting with other women-owned and small businesses here in Canada. We’ve decided to come together to help one another grow by sharing each other’s stories and products with our communities.
This is the start of a new series on my blog where, once a month, I’ll be highlighting a small business that inspires me. It’s my way of supporting fellow makers while also introducing you to beautiful products you may not have discovered yet.
To kick things off, I’d love for you to meet Simon’s Soapbox — a heart-led business with a bold story and equally beautiful products.
Meet my friends, Simon and Caroline – Simon’s Soapbox
I’m so excited to introduce you to my friends Simon and Caroline, the sibling soap makers behind the brand Simon’s Soapbox. They make the most amazing soap together and I know you’ll love their story.
In 2021, with the free time brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Simon and Caroline decided to build a business. This was something they could do together as siblings not only to generate a little money but to give Simon, who has Down syndrome, a sense of purpose and dignity. They learned cold process soap-making techniques together, and Simon experimented with the swirl design in the soap. Each bar has a unique swirl by Simon.
Simon and Caroline have put so much love and attention into their products. Each bar has a unique #SwirlBySimon and is made with only the best ingredients like Fair Trade Shea Butter and essential oils. Their packaging is bright and cheerful with their business story on the inner band of the package of their full-size bars.
Simon’s Soapbox soaps are also available in a mini size, which are perfect for party favours and conference swag. These cute soaps come fully wrapped with a bright sticker label with a full ingredient list.
Simon’s Soapbox is an artisanal soap company that is committed to making high-quality bath and home products. Their mission is to demonstrate the value of people with and without developmental disabilities working together. They make soap with a luxurious lather and amazing scents.

Closing note from me
This is just the beginning of my new small business spotlight series, and I couldn’t have asked for a better business to start with. Simon’s Soapbox represents the heart, creativity, and purpose I see in so many independent makers.
Stay tuned — next month I’ll be sharing another incredible business that I’ve connected with. I hope you’ll enjoy discovering them as much as I do.
