Lamb's Soapworks FAQ: shipping, ingredients, and wholesale

Please browse our FAQ's below. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out via the contact form!

Shipping & Pickup

Do you ship to the United States?

No. We ship within Canada only. We stopped US shipping in 2026 when tariffs made it a bad deal for everyone, and we've decided to lean all the way in on being a Canadian company for Canadian customers. (We still love you, Montana.)

Where do you ship?

Everywhere in Canada, coast to coast to coast. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and orders over $100 CAD ship free.

How much is shipping?

It's calculated at checkout based on your address and the size of your order. Orders over $100 CAD ship free anywhere in Canada. Local pickup in Airdrie is always free.

How long does it take to get my order?

We pack and ship within 3 to 5 business days, then Canada Post takes it from there. You'll get a tracking email the moment it leaves. Alberta orders usually land in a few days; the far coasts take a bit longer.

Where is Lamb's Soapworks located?

Airdrie, Alberta, just north of Calgary. Everything is made here, by hand, in small batches. If you'd rather shop in person, we're also stocked in 28 (and counting) independent shops across Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Check the Find Us in Person page for the one nearest you.

Are your products made in Canada?

Yes. Every bar, butter, bomb, and balm is handmade in Airdrie, Alberta. Not assembled here, not "designed in Canada." Made here.

Ingredients and products

What's in your soap?

Unrefined plant-based oils and butters. Olive, coconut, sustainable palm, castor, rice bran, and shea, saponified the old-fashioned way. No parabens, petrolatum, phthalates, or GMOs. Every product page lists the full ingredients, because you should get to read the label before you buy it.

Are your products natural?

As natural as real soap gets. We use unrefined plant oils and butters, clays, and botanicals. Some scents use phthalate-free fragrance oils, and we say so right on the product page. No synthetic dyes, no fillers.

Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?

100% cruelty-free, always. Most of our products are vegan; the product page will say so.

Is your soap good for sensitive skin?

A lot of our customers with sensitive skin use it happily, and our unscented bars are the gentlest place to start. We're not doctors, though. If you've got a skin condition, patch test first or ask your dermatologist.

Why is handmade soap better than store-bought?

Most "soap" at the grocery store is a detergent bar with the glycerin removed. Real cold-process soap keeps its natural glycerin, which is why your skin doesn't feel tight afterward. Lather, clean, done. No residue

How long does a bar last?

About 4-6 weeks of daily showers, if you let it dry out between uses. Get a soap dish with drainage. Your bar will thank you (and so will your wallet).

What does "label-free" mean?

Exactly what it sounds like. Same bar, no paper label, so there's nothing to throw away. Pick it as an option on most soap bars if zero-waste is your thing.

What's your packaging made of?

Cardboard and paper, mostly. No plastic clamshells, no bubble wrap. Shipping boxes are recyclable and we use as little filler as we can get away with.

Does a portion of sales really go to charity?

Yes. A portion of every sale goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta. It's not a campaign; it's just how we've always done it.

Wholesale

Do you offer wholesale?

Yes, to Canadian retailers. We're actively growing our wholesale family across Canada, and we love working with independent shops, gift stores, spas, and markets that care about what they put on their shelves. Apply through the Wholesale Application page.

Who qualifies for a wholesale account?

Canadian businesses with a storefront, online shop, or spa/salon that will resell our products.

What's the wholesale order minimum?

Opening orders are $150 minimum, and the same for a reorder.

How does wholesale pricing work?

Approved partners get access to a private wholesale shop with wholesale pricing on our full line.

How long does it take to approve a wholesale application?

Usually 2 to 3 business days. We read every application ourselves (there's no robot in between), so you'll hear from a human.

Orders and returns

What's your return policy?

We can't accept returns or exchanges, because soap. If your order arrives damaged, keep the box and the products, snap a photo, and email info@lambsoapworks.com within 5 days. We'll make it right.

Do you do custom orders or wedding favours?

Yes. We can do custom scents and labels for weddings, showers, and corporate gifts. Email us your idea and a rough quantity.

Do you have gift cards?

Yes, from $25, and they never expire.
