Don't order from them. They shipped us only half of our order, then ignored multiple phone calls and emails. When my wife FINALLY got ahold of them on the phone, they were angry instead of apologetic, implied she was a scammer in a way that felt racially motivated. We've bought their soaps for years. Never again. read more

Weird hours call before visit. Friendly knowledgble service and of course great smelling. Well worth a visit. And they're generous with sharing samples of scents that are fresh off the process. Good people. Support local small businesses read more

They have a really great selection of all natural soaps. They range from rose to mango to forest to tea tree (sweet to more rugged scents). Soaps always dry my skin out and initially I was cautious of trying these out but was happy I did. The Shea and essentials oils used to make these soaps feel and smell amazing. read more

Beekman's COPA Soaps - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

Best bar soaps EVER! My son has eczema and everything used to cause flare ups...but then I started to use these soaps on him and it's like the soap protects him from flare ups now! I have been using nothing but these soaps for about 5 years now! Never switching to anything as long as Copa Soaps are available! read more

I've been using Beekman's COPA Soaps almost exclusively since 2014. I first found out about them at an awesome street market in Manhattan that same year. I didn't actually purchase the soap at that time as I was traveling but I grabbed a card and started ordering online as soon as I got home. I buy in bulk and couldn't be happier. It's important to me to buy products from small family run businesses, rather than large corporations and Beekman fits the bill. Plus I get compliments daily on how good I smell when I wear no additional oils or scented products :) And my skin remains soft! If there was a local company where I live in California that offered what Beekman's does, I'd purchase locally but there's not. When I run out of Beekman soap, I purchase a single bar from a local vendor to tide me over. That single bar costs twice as much as Beekman's price and lasts half as long. Plus, they're organic which is really important to me!!!! I'm a lifetime Beekman customer!! read more

Love these soaps! The word soap doesn't do this product justice! First discovered them at the flower show and now hooked!! Smell great, feel great and what ms even better is that I know that I am not using chemicals on my skin! All around awesome customer service at the show, on yelp questions and orders! I will be a life long customer! Even got some of my guy friends hooked! read more

The. Best. Soaps. Ever. Truth is, I can't be without these soaps. They're all I use in the shower and I love them--pure, fresh smelling and hand crafted. I can't say enough good things about them. I thank my ex-wife for discovering them at a street fair and we've never looked back. read more

Unbelievable and truly disappointing. Horrific customer service and shockingly rude staff. I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to leave one after the phone call I just had with Maurice. First - the soap is wonderful. There's no arguing that. But, it's not wonderful enough to warrant spending another $40 (after shipping) in a second attempt to get the soap I want. I purchased my first set in person, then ordered online when I ran out. Two of the six soaps I received differed from what was pictured in the collection online. I emailed to see what my options were. After no response a week later, I called and left a voicemail. The next day my call was returned by Maurice, who was surprisingly rude. He informed me that there are 10 soaps in that particular collection and they choose whatever soaps they want to include. He impatiently told me that I should have requested the particular soaps I wanted if I had a preference. I said that makes sense and I understand, but I didn't realize that when I quickly placed my order online, and I don't think that's clear on the website. I asked if I could return or exchange and was, again, very rudely informed that I should have requested a particular soap if that's what I wanted because they have been doing it that way for 20 years. I asked again whether there were any options for me, to which he responded that I could place another order because they won't exchange. I told him that I was honestly very surprised by the customer service. I explained, again, that I don't think their soap selection procedure is clear online. He said he hopes I enjoy the soap. I hung up. Again, I understand their process as he explained it. Had he explained this without being extraordinarily rude, I would continue to be a customer. I was very excited to have found what I thought would be my go-to soap. Maurice single handedly lost a life-long customer. Policies aside, there was no reason to be so rude. I wasn't nasty or complaining. I wanted to know what my options were and was willing to place another order until my unfortunate conversation with Maurice. I truly hope they consider speaking to their customers differently in the future. read more

OK, If you haven't tried these soaps, get thee to the website. I don't know if there is an actual store for these people since we have only gotten soap mailed to us. They are only $4.00 a bar and come in all different varieties and if you order 10 bars, they ship for free in the U.S. They are natural (the C.O.P.A. stands for coconut, olive, palm, and almond oils) and have natural essential oils added for aroma-therapy. No bathroom should be without these soaps. One note for the boys: be a little careful with the mint varieties in certain "sensitive" areas, they may be a little intense if you get what I mean... read more

Wow, I was walking in the area and remembered that I had been given a bar of Copa's soap (years ago) that Ive been meaning to replace. It was Ginger Carrot and it was made in my neighborhood! So, as usual, I use my yelp ap to find the exact street address of this business. [Yelp's map is faster on the iphone than google or mapqest if you ask me]. One of the things that I find most remarkable is that no one ever yelped them! This is a great local business that seems to thrive mostly on online orders. They're super friendly to stop in and buy from. They have a great cash deal 3 bars for $10. Their soaps are really high quality and priced very competitively compared to what I see in all the boutique shops in Philly. I particularly like that they have a number of fragrant soaps that aren't all girly and perfumey. I'm kinda intolerant to perfume. read more

Love the soap, the customer service could use some improvement. Ordered $100 of soap which is sent USPS two day service. After about five days without delivery, I went to my local Post Office to ask about the package (tracking hadn't updated its location in three days). My local PO said "it looks like it's lost" and that I should contact the shipper. This is where things get a little crazy. I spoke to a live person that told me the supervisor isn't here now, but when he comes in, I will have him trace the package and call you back. The next day, no call, no email, nothing. Okay, people are busy, I get it, so I try calling six more times, but get a voicemail instead. I just hung up each time. Finally at lunch one day, I got the same "customer service" person that informed me that his manager looked into the problem with the package and it was being delivered. I explained that the PO asked that I have the package traced, because the website said it was being delivered "in the near future". This is when he launches his best customer service and says "we can't just send you new soap". What? I never asked for new soap, I simply asked you to check in the package arriving "in the future" as per my PO direction, I never asked for anything beyond that. Now I'm so annoyed at him for his assumption that I'm trying to get over on them somehow, the conversation turns to a shouting match. I hung up mid-sentence, because frankly, I wouldn't let my own father speak to me this way. The package did eventually arrive and the soaps are great, but next time I think I'll just order from Beekman 1902 Soaps again, I've never had a problem and their customer service is top notch. There's absolutely no reason to be treated like a cyber criminal when you have a problem with an order. If you're going to offer customer service, make sure the person answering on your company's behalf is at least diplomatic and at the very least, non confrontational. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their soaps!! I first found their soaps at a union square in NYC. They had a small stand at a farmer's market at union square during the holidays. After talking to the VERY NICE owners, I found out they were based in Philly and couldn't be more excited! The soaps smell so good and they feel so luxurious!! I love all their scents because they are calming and relaxing like a spa and they feel so good too. I like that the soaps are natural and handmade and are so good on your skin. I will definitely keep buying them. I know it's just soap, but PLEASE give them a try =) read more

COPA stands for Coconut, Olive, Palm, and Almond. Those four oils make up the base of every Beekman's soap. An extra ingredient (such as shea butter) and/or an essential oil blend (such as lavender) is then added to create the many varieties. This is as pure as it gets, and switching from sulfate-filled chemical body washes to these soaps was the best decision I have ever made for my skin. Bars are $4 each, or 6 for $20 if you find them selling at an event, and last one person about six weeks. The soap produces a rich lather that rinses clean and scent-free without stripping away your natural oils. I've gotten sample size bars as extras with online ordering or as a business card at an event - which is the cutest idea ever! - and I keep them around just so I can pass them on to new potential customers. read more

These soaps are so fantastic! I've been buying them for years and they never disappoint. Another added plus - my bathroom smells fantastic as soon as I walk into it just from the fumes of the soap! I lucked out and bought a few more yesterday (Seaweed, patchouli and lavender oatmeal) and had to restrain myself from buying more! Had a nice chat with Rachel, who was manning the stand during the street fair yesterday - all good! Can't wait to treat myself to a few more bars down the road! Quality product!!! Update: Just returned from the holiday fair in Union Square in NYC. Purchased the cider, patchouli, peppermint, lavender and basil soaps. My apartment smells amazing and at $20 for 5 bars of soap, you can't go wrong! Make sure you head down! Update 12/24/17: I was so happy that I remembered that Beekman's COPA Soaps were at the Union Square Holiday Fair. Stopped down and was so impressed that Toni remembered me from previous years. I ended up buying 6 of the lavender scrub soaps and they smell fantastic. I'll be giving them away as gifts but hopefully in the near future, will buy a few bars for myself. Their soap is 'bar none' (bad pun but I couldn't resist) the best there is! If you missed them at the holiday fair, make sure to check out their website - www.copasoaps.com Highly recommend! read more

Great soaps! I found these soaps at a market in midtown Manhattan. I got some for friends as gifts and kept some for myself. 6 for $20 is a great price for homemade soaps. They smell great and last a long time. All natural and leave your skin so soft and fragrant. They really are great soaps. I just ran out and googled them so I can order some online and saw they had a yelp page. Must review such a great product. I highly recommend anyone get these soaps. read more

A friend gave me a box of soaps as a housewarming gift, and holy crap, they smell amazing. I keep the box in my small guest bathroom and everyone remarks how wonderful they smell. I thought a box of soaps would be a great thank-you gift for a coworker, so I went looking for the shop on Girard Ave in Fishtown. I had a hard time finding it -- the door has the address, but isn't otherwise marked with a name or sign. I called the number on Yelp and someone came to the door to let me in. (For locals: It's half a block north of I Hate Bank of America.) When I got inside, I was asked what I wanted (two boxes of six soaps each), and an employee helped me choose soaps, which he then wrapped with paper bands marking the scents. Each box of six was $20, and I think a steal. They also gave me two small blank cards and branded bags for the giving. Most of their business comes from wholesale or web sales, or so it appears, but stop in to see the operation and make your own variety box. read more

The sad part is that companies like Dove and Spring-whoever are still in business. A few years back I stayed at a nautical themed hotel in Playa Del I-don't-remember-which-one-and-nobody-cares in Mexico and for the first time in my life I experienced good soap. Intimately. Soap that made me pay attention. So I was like "Wow! Hotels at non-memorable locations in Mexico have great soap!" and basically didn't think twice about it. Until a couple years later I saw Beekman's soaps being hawked at a street fair in Brooklyn. Upon getting a whiff of the soap, I was immediately taken back to my time in Mexico - which I had completely forgotten about. It was the first time I really got into soap and I've tried many other really fantastic soaps since. But I always come back and order from Beekman's. It's REALLY the best, most consistent soap out there by far. I've tried all the award winning soaps. I'm signed up to all the newsletters. Just 'cuz they don't put a fancy swirl on top and some shamrocks in there for good luck doesn't mean you shouldn't pay 40% less. Oh, right! The price is unbeatable! I've pretty much tried all their different soaps by now and I have an incredibly hard time choosing which ones to get next, every time I order. I can say that Bay Rum, Harvest, Mango, Forest, Cider, Lemongrass, Out of India and Spice are definitely my favorites. Oh, and Medley! Is that all of 'em? Oh, well. And talking of Medley! When they get small, I squish 'em all too together! Too soon? Anywho... It's really the best soap all around. I order them 10 at a time, get free shipping and any time I'm on my way out to an event or anything I just grab a couple as a gift. Everyone loves it. Cuz they're all hipster-scum wannabe's. read more

Discovered these soaps at a holiday market in NYC years ago and have been hooked ever since. This is the perfect gift for every member of my family. I usually make a big order around the holidays and then again toward the middle of the year. Take advantage of the free shipping once you spend $48 (2 sets). The best part of all is the customer service. I called after having some difficulties with USPS and COPA was extremely thoughtful and helpful. Would give more stars if I could. read more

Have been working alongside this company for years at the street fairs, and finally buckled down and bought a 5-soap set. They smell delicious, and my husband is in love with the Charcoal Clay that I got him. Is it sad that as an adult, I still sometimes think showering as a chore? Well, not anymore. I love the scent that permeates the bathroom when you use these soaps. Super soothing. read more

This soap is the best! I first bought it at the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2020 and was hooked. I can't be without it. It smells heavenly and I feel so good knowing its made with minimal ingredients and is good for my skin. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed! read more

WORST customer service ever encountered! I purchased $90 worth of soaps to gift and on their website all it said was to "order before the 21st to ensure timely delivery for the holidays." I placed the order on the 19th. Called on the 28th and was first told that I'd be receiving it that same week and when I continued to ask about the tracking number not moving at all, the staff became rude and informed "not all orders from November has been delivered so you'll get it when you get it." And that it was written all over their social media and Website that their delivery was backed up, so I should have known. He kept cutting me off with no apologies whatsoever on the delay of the delivery, matter of fact was annoyed by me calling in. A customer has no obligation to know what they put up on their social media and NOTHING of that sort is written on their website. A week later, got no delivery and tracking number still not moving so called again. I asked for a refund as it had been close to 2 wks by then. This time he was just rude from the start, kept going off about November orders not all being delivered and wouldn't even let me speak and then hung up on me. What kind of a customer service is that?!? And if November orders aren't even all delivered, why not state clearly on the website that you're having delivery issues instead of "order by dec 21 for a timely holiday delivery"?!? I'm all about supporting small businesses but this is just awful! I have never been hung up by a customer service. read more

I was very disappointed at their poor customer service..I went to their pop up store in Union Square, NY yesterday. i was waiting in a long line and there were 3 customers before me. Finally, it was my turn so I was about to order. Suddenly, a lady with blonde hair cut in the line then told me " I was first". Obviously, she wasn't the first. She just cut in everyone.The cashier guy was just standing and watching us but he didn't say anything..!! He just ignored at me, and started taking her order without saying sorry!!! What kind of customer service is this!? It happened so fast so I couldn't even say anything. He was really rude and unprofessional towards the customers. There was another cashier standing a little further from us. I wasn't sure but she looked like the owner of this store. I wish the owner would teach the stupid guy about how important customer service is for this kind of small business, especially in NYC. You may think it is just a small thing, however from this experience, I got a bad image of this store that doesn't treat customers fair. And I don't want to go back there in the future. The soaps are good. but not so special compared to other handmade soaps in Manhattan, Brooklyn, France and also Italy. You will be able to find this level of quality soaps at a good price at other shops. This is not the only place for handmade soaps. Also the basil and oatmeal have a little too strong of a scent. It could have been better. Overall, this store needs to change their terrible customer service....good luck! read more

I bought a pack of "Medley" scent of soaps yesterday at the street fair in midtown New York. The soap is very gentle and smells really good. Yes, I also realize the sales girl is very rude. I told her that I've been waiting at least 20 minutes for her to come back from the bathroom. she didn't say a word, and gave me the damn look. overall, it's a great type of soap i have ever used. read more

I can't comment on the products because I've never used them, even though I have made several attempts. Before I buy products such as this, I want to see, touch, and feel them. I won't buy them sight unseen. I have made at least four visits to this business while I was in the area. Even after calling them to see if someone would be there, I found that I couldn't count on them. Most recently, I saw a construction worker inside, and he saw me. After knocking and waiting in the cold for minutes, he ignored me. No one came to the door to at least acknowledge me or to take a message. I went to a center city competitor that I knew would be open. I rarely give a third chance when I have options. Only because this is a local small business- the kind that I prefer to support- I gave this business a fourth- but final- opportunity. That doesn't count the times when I called, but didn't go to the store. I am not one who writes less-than-complimentary opinions as a general rule. I had hoped to do business with them, but there are too many others who are easier to do business with. I write this review for those who are like me. The on-line process could be another story. For brick-and-mortar buyers, I hope that you have a better experience. read more

I recently stumble across Beekman's copa soap at the flower shower in the philadelphia. When I walk up to the booth I was greeted with a smile by a young man. He was very knowledgeable, polite, and patience. I was able to smell a various kinds of soaps. Thats when I fell in love with the lavender collection, and I have been hook ever since. They're price are very reasonable and it does wonders for my skin. I have already recommend these products to my family and friends. I am so happy that I found them. Amazing Amazing Amazing products. read more

I bought a bar of COPA Soap five years ago at a garden show and I have been a fan ever since. Their soaps are long-lasting and they smell good.As in really, REALLY good. My husband, who usually doesn't care what kind of soap he uses as long as it doesn't irritate his skin, fell for COPA's patchouli soap in a big way. I like the way COPA soaps are gentle on my skin and leave a nice, lingering scent that is fresh and natural, not fake or perfumey. I have tried a great many different brands of soap in my time, including some that were very expensive, but none of them could hold a candle to COPA. read more

These soaps are the bomb. As a guy it's hard to convince your other guy friends that they should use something more luxurious than Irish Spring, but I'm gonna keep spreading the good word! Personal faves include vetiver peat and bay rum. They ship fast, and at $4 a bar they're much cheaper than a spa vacation, while affording (almost) the same level of self-indulgence and relaxation. read more

Fabulous soaps. Happy to order from out of town to keep myself in stock. Feel fortunate to have found them.

6 years later... This is the only soap I use. I stock up a year supply when the seasonal market opens. I give them away as gifts for friends and family members. read more

I grew up in NYC and my cousin and I always attended the 9th Avenue Food Festival - always, up until I moved to Boston. This fantastic FOOD festival is where I was introduced to these FANTASTIC soaps and I have been using them on and off since about 1999. They have wonderful scents and moisturize well. My husband, who has some very mild eczema, loves them. Starting in 2007, I would stockpile these never paying attention to the website but now that I know I can order them online I will no longer have to wait until May. read more

Quality soap made with coconut, olive, palm, and almond oils. Honey oatmeal and ginger carrot smell great!

I am probably never going to use another soap. My skin smells and feels amazing. I picked up a few bars as gifts and kept one for myself, "spice." Holy cow, amazing. I can't wait to try more, though at this rate, the bar seems like it will last for a while. Do yourself a favor and try this. You'll feel ridiculously clean and delicious.... And you might develop a shower addiction. I can't believe I'm raving about soap, but I am. A truly great product. I'll buy and buy again, for sure! read more

My girlfriend bought soap from a pop-up market at this company and was charged twice. She called the company- they returned her call, left a message, and asked that she call back during I certain day and time. She called, explained the problem, and the woman immediately said "I can't help you". She continues to explain the problem and the woman on the phone continued to be extremely rude and would not help. She asked to speak with the man who originally called us back or for an e-mail where she could reach him and instead of an answer my girlfriend was called "abusive" and that she wouldn't be helped. As a result, I would never shop here nor recommend shopping here. I work in retail, the soap isn't worth it. It's a shame really. read more

Best soap EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am obsesseddddddd ! My whole house is obsessed with them and we try to attend every fair to get them!!! 6 for 20 not bad at all, I have tried them all and nothing compares! read more

Even though I no longer live in the hood - I am still a fan of COPA soaps and go out of my way to get over here to get my favorite natural soap. I am a fan of all varieties - but patchouli is still my favorite. read more

I too bought a few bars of soap for gifts when they were at the Union Square market last fall, along with several for myself, and I can't see myself buying soap from anywhere else! They make my skin feel great, they're made from all natural oils, essential oils for fragrance, and boy are they fragrant! In a good, natural way, like being in an herb garden. As other reviews have stated, a bar lasts a long time. Although I still have a few bars left from my original purchase, I'm going to place an order for more for gifts and to stock up for myself for the rest of the year! read more

I've never in my life purchased a soap that makes my skin feel as clean as this. I purchased the Honey Oatmeal last week when I was in the upper west side and I used it as soon as I returned home. This was hands down THE BEST 4 dollars I spent my entire trip to NY that weekend. I definitely will be purchasing more soaps in the very near future. read more

I found this company at the Philadelphia flower show several years ago. They offer good quality products for an affordable price! (Better price than compared to LUSH) I order mine online since I live in Atlanta. These also make wonderful gifts! read more

Amazing... I love that this soap literally leaves my skin SQUEAKY clean! I usually go for the mint shea and lemon grass scents, which smell lovely and transfom my shower into a spa experience. I usually stock up every year at the flower show, however, I will be ordering some more in the very near future. read more

I first bought these soaps at a kiosk at the Pennsylvania Flower Show now we make it known that every year we go to the kiosk. I love this soap and with my sensitive skin it does not irritate it, and it smells so good, you get a big whiff of it walking into the bathroom. I never been to the factory on Girard but I do want too. read more
