About GiftLookup

Our story, our passion, our commitment to natural handmade soaps

Our Story

GiftLookup began in 2012 with a simple belief: that gifting should be meaningful, personal, and kind to our planet. What started as a small home-based soap-making hobby quickly blossomed into a passionate endeavor to create natural, handcrafted soaps that people would be proud to give as gifts.

Our founder, Sarah Williams, started making soaps after discovering her daughter's sensitivity to commercial bath products. Frustrated by the lack of truly natural options on the market, she began researching traditional soap-making methods and experimenting with plant-based ingredients in her kitchen.

Word spread about Sarah's gentle, aromatic soaps, and soon friends and family were requesting them as gifts for their loved ones. The joy and appreciation she witnessed when people received her handcrafted soaps as presents inspired the creation of GiftLookup.com – a place where thoughtful gift-givers could find beautifully crafted, natural soaps that tell a story of care and consideration.

Today, our dedicated team of artisans continues Sarah's tradition, handcrafting each soap bar using time-honored cold-process methods. We remain committed to sustainability, quality ingredients, and the belief that the best gifts come from the heart.

GiftLookup Studio

Our Core Values

Quality Without Compromise

We use only the finest natural ingredients, sustainably sourced and carefully selected for their beneficial properties. No shortcuts, no fillers, no artificial additives.

Handcrafted with Care

Every soap bar is made by hand in small batches, allowing us to maintain strict quality control and infuse each creation with attention and craftsmanship.

Environmental Responsibility

We're committed to sustainable practices, from our ingredient sourcing to our minimal, recyclable packaging, ensuring our footprint on the planet is as gentle as our soaps are on your skin.

Transparency & Integrity

We believe in being honest about what goes into our products. Every ingredient is listed, and we're always happy to answer questions about our processes and materials.

Our Soap-Making Process

1

Ingredient Selection

We carefully source organic, fair-trade, and locally produced ingredients whenever possible. Our oils, butters, clays, and essential oils are selected for both their quality and their sustainable production methods.

2

Cold Process Method

We use the traditional cold process method, which preserves the natural glycerin and allows us to control exactly what goes into each bar. This time-honored technique creates a gentle, moisturizing soap that's kind to all skin types.

3

Curing Time

Our soaps cure for a minimum of four weeks, allowing excess water to evaporate and creating a harder, longer-lasting bar. This patience results in a milder soap with a rich, creamy lather that's gentle on your skin.

4

Quality Control

Each batch is tested for quality and pH balance before being cut, inspected, and carefully wrapped. We take pride in ensuring every soap bar meets our high standards before it leaves our studio.

5

Thoughtful Packaging

We wrap our soaps in minimal, recyclable or biodegradable packaging that protects the product while minimizing environmental impact. Even our gift packaging is designed with sustainability in mind.
