Our state-of-the-art facilities in Fall River, Massachusetts and Lincoln, Rhode Island enable us to deliver custom soap solutions that elevate your brand and exceed your customers’ expectations.

From sustainable organic formulations to specialty industrial cleaners, we combine time-honored craftsmanship with innovative manufacturing techniques to create soaps that perform beautifully in real-world applications.

Personal Care & Retail Brands

The personal care and retail market represents our core expertise, where we manufacture everything from luxury beauty bars to everyday body soaps for consumers nationwide. Our retail soap manufacturing services deliver exceptional bar soaps for body, face, and beauty applications, complemented by premium liquid soaps including body washes and hand soaps that perform beautifully on store shelves and in consumers’ homes.

We specialize in helping both small start-ups and national brands bring their soap product visions to life through private label and custom formulation services. Our manufacturing capabilities support various retail channels including specialty boutiques, natural product stores, gift shops, department stores, and e-commerce businesses. Whether you need distinctive beauty bars with premium ingredients, moisturizing body washes, or complete product lines that tell your brand story, we provide comprehensive support including regulatory compliance guidance, label design assistance through our in-house design team, and packaging options that ensure your products arrive shelf-ready and optimized for point-of-sale impact.

Hospitality – Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines

The hospitality industry demands soap products that deliver an exceptional guest experience while reinforcing brand identity. Our hotel soap manufacturing services provide luxury bar soaps that remain the standard for guest amenities, alongside increasingly popular liquid soap options in both individual bottles and eco-friendly refillable dispensers. We’re also seeing growing adoption of foam soap solutions that offer cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits without compromising the premium experience guests expect.

We work with boutique hotels, major chains, resorts, cruise lines, and vacation rentals to create custom-branded soap collections that guests love—and often take home as cherished reminders of their stay. Our hospitality clients appreciate our flexible manufacturing capabilities, which accommodate properties of all sizes, from intimate bed-and-breakfasts to expansive resort complexes. We offer elegant packaging options, custom scent development, and formulations featuring premium ingredients including botanical extracts and essential oils. With production capacity of up to 150,000 bars per day, we reliably serve the biggest and best amenity providers in the world.

Healthcare – Hospitals, Clinics & Medical Facilities

Healthcare facilities require soap products that meet the highest standards for infection control, sanitation, and hygiene compliance. Our healthcare soap manufacturing expertise focuses primarily on liquid and foam soap formulations—the industry standards for antibacterial hand soaps, surgical scrubs, and patient care applications. Foam soaps are particularly popular in healthcare settings for infection control benefits and reduced waste compared to traditional liquid dispensers.

We understand the critical importance of regulatory compliance in healthcare and ensure all products meet FDA requirements and stringent industry-specific standards. Our healthcare clients include hospitals, clinics, dental offices, medical laboratories, veterinary practices, and long-term care facilities. We manufacture specialty formulations including fragrance-free options for sensitive environments, antimicrobial soaps for clinical use, and moisturizing formulas that prevent the dryness and irritation associated with the frequent handwashing required in medical settings. Our quality control protocols and expertise ensure consistent product quality and reliable performance batch after batch.

Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities

Industrial and manufacturing environments demand heavy-duty cleansing solutions that remove tough contaminants while protecting workers’ skin. Our industrial soap manufacturing capabilities focus on high-performance liquid soaps including industrial degreasers, pumice hand soaps, and specialized formulations designed to remove grease, oil, grime, and industrial residues that standard soaps cannot handle effectively.

We serve manufacturers across automotive, machinery, construction, metalworking, and other industries where workers face daily exposure to challenging contaminants. Our industrial formulations balance powerful cleaning action with skin-conditioning ingredients that prevent the excessive drying common with harsh industrial cleaners. We also produce occasional specialty bar soap options for heavy-duty hand cleaning applications. These products support worker hygiene programs and safety compliance requirements while maintaining the performance standards demanded in industrial settings.

Institutional – Schools, Offices & Public Buildings

Institutional facilities including schools, office buildings, government facilities, and public spaces require cost-effective, reliable soap solutions for high-traffic restroom and common areas. In these environments, liquid soap dispensers are common, while foam soap systems have become increasingly popular due to their controlled dispensing, reduced waste, and lower cost per use—making them ideal for janitorial maintenance and budget-conscious facility management.

Our institutional soap manufacturing provides formulations optimized for public hygiene applications, with consideration for diverse user needs, high-volume usage, and maintenance efficiency. We produce both standard and premium options that work seamlessly with commercial dispenser systems, ensuring consistent availability and positive user experiences across schools, corporate offices, municipal buildings, and public facilities where reliable hand hygiene is essential for community health.

Spa, Salon & Wellness Centers

Spas, salons, and wellness centers require soap products that deliver therapeutic benefits while providing sensory experiences that complement their treatment menus. Our spa soap manufacturing expertise includes luxury bar soaps with aromatherapy benefits alongside premium liquid body washes, exfoliating scrubs, and specialty cleansing products featuring botanical extracts, essential oils, and premium vegetable oils specifically chosen for their skin benefits and relaxation properties.

We work closely with spa owners and wellness professionals to develop soap collections that extend the spa experience beyond the treatment room. Whether you’re creating retail products for your spa boutique or developing signature soaps exclusively for use in treatments, our research and development team—with over 20 years of experience in soap formulations—can incorporate specific ingredients that address concerns like sensitive skin, moisturizing needs, anti-aging benefits, or luxury spa-quality experiences. Many spa clients choose to private label our products, creating additional revenue streams while strengthening brand loyalty among their clientele.

Household Cleaning Products

Beyond personal care, we manufacture specialty soaps for household cleaning applications. Our household cleaning product capabilities include bar soap formulations for laundry use and stain removal, as well as extensive liquid soap options for dish washing, surface cleaning, and general home hygiene. These formulations are designed for effectiveness against grease, food residues, and household dirt while remaining safe for frequent home use.

We serve brands launching natural laundry detergents, eco-friendly dish soaps, and specialty household cleaners that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Our formulation expertise enables us to create products that perform comparably to conventional cleaners while using plant-based ingredients and sustainable formulations. Whether you need concentrated liquid dish soaps, gentle laundry bars, or multi-purpose household cleaners, we provide formulations that deliver real cleaning power with the natural positioning today’s consumers demand.

Pet Care & Agricultural Applications

The pet care and agricultural markets represent growing opportunities for specialized soap formulations. We manufacture liquid pet shampoos formulated for various coat types and skin sensitivities, as well as bar soaps for livestock washing and agricultural hygiene applications. Our pet care formulations balance effective cleansing with gentle, pet-safe ingredients that won’t irritate sensitive skin or leave residues harmful to animals.

For agricultural clients, we provide equipment cleaning solutions and animal washing products that support farming hygiene standards. Whether you’re launching a premium pet grooming line, developing specialty shampoos for professional groomers, or need reliable livestock washing solutions, our formulation team can create products tailored to the unique requirements of animal care—from pH considerations to specific ingredient safety profiles required for use around pets and livestock.

Food Service & Janitorial Supply

Food service operations and janitorial supply distributors require reliable, compliant soap products that meet health department standards and workplace safety requirements. Our food service soap manufacturing capabilities include liquid hand soaps formulated specifically for commercial kitchen environments, where frequent handwashing is mandated and products must effectively remove food residues while meeting food safety regulations.

Food service clients range from restaurant chains to commercial kitchens, catering operations, and food processing facilities. We manufacture both behind-the-scenes utility soaps for kitchen staff and front-of-house products that maintain professional image standards in restaurant restrooms. For janitorial supply distributors, we provide bulk liquid soap formulations, institutional-grade hand soaps, and specialty cleaning products that serve the diverse needs of your commercial clients across multiple industries.

Specialty & Niche Applications

Our versatile manufacturing capabilities extend to unique specialty applications across various niche markets. We’ve produced specialized formulations including defragrancing soaps for fishermen (removing human scent oils that deter fish), colognes and body mists, linen sprays for hospitality and home use, and industrial degreasing soaps for demanding applications. We also manufacture soap bases sold to other manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and laboratories who use them as ingredients in their own product development.

These specialty applications demonstrate our formulation flexibility and willingness to tackle unique challenges. Whether you have an innovative product concept for a niche market or need a specialized formulation that addresses specific functional requirements, our experienced research and development team enjoys working on creative projects that expand the boundaries of traditional soap manufacturing.

Private Label & Contract Manufacturing

As the second-largest private-label soap company in the USA, contract manufacturing for brands across all industries represents our foundational expertise. We manufacture the full range of bar soaps, liquid soaps, and optional foam soap products depending on client specifications and target markets. Our private label services include everything from turnkey solutions using our proven formulations to completely custom product development that brings your unique brand vision to life.

Our contract manufacturing clients include everyone from entrepreneurs launching their first products to national brands requiring consistent, large-scale production. We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process—from initial consultation and formula development through regulatory compliance, custom packaging, labeling, and fulfillment.
