I have walked by this store many times and something about today on a holiday weekend told me to go in. So I did. Wow the smell in here is amazing. All handmade soap is made in Brooklyn I found out and then sold here. You are able to try out some of the soaps as well. They also have candles and other beauty products here. Great place for gifts and or to treat yourself. The staff here are friendly. Highly recommend stopping in. read more

Find time to stop by when in the area. read more

Came upon it by surprise and the outside drew us in! It's a very cute spot and they give you a free hand-wash (it's mora than just that) to try their products - there are like 5 steps to it and every single product we tried was marvelous! Their lavender vanilla soap and buttercream was amazing and truly left my hands so soft for the whole day. You can also make your own scented soaps with the fragrances they offer. Truly a cute place and the prices were good! read more

Soapology is a fantastic spot for natural body care products. They offer a variety of selection of soaps, candles, lotions, and scrubs, all with wonderful scents. One of the highlights is the free hand wash treatment, and the ability to try out different fragrances before buying. You can even create your own custom lotion by blending oils, which adds a fun and personal touch. The customer service is excellent, and the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, with soothing music that enhances the experience. Dina was an amazing, we bought, soaps, lotion, scrubs and candles read more

Iris, Sasha and the other ladies in the shop were so nice, helpful and patient. Loved the handwashing experience. Will mix scents for you to make buttercreams, sea salt scrubs, etc. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

I was walking by and I saw the storefront and it was so cute I just had to stop in. As soon as I did, I was greeted warmly and offered a free tryout of the hand soap. I expected it to be like in Bath and body Works, where they just give you a pump of the soap, let you wash your hands in a little sink, and that's it. But it was a whole extensive process, demo, and explanation of the products! She took me to the bathtub at the end of the store that had multiple faucets, dispensed my scent selection of the hand soap, and started explaining the scent and benefits of the product as I was using it. She continued to do this for every step of the process, which included the sugar scrub, a light exfoliating scrub, a moisturizer, a balm, and a special candle that was safe to use on skin! I was amazed and my hands were baby soft and smelling great by the end. It's also a great place to buy gifts or souvenirs, which I did, and they were kind enough to give us a couple mini free samples of their bars of soap, which I really appreciated! I'll probably be back for some of those hand products, since I work with my hands a lot and I wanna keep them soft and nice. Great experience! read more

Found this gem on Yelp. Didn't realize it was a block away from the route I walk to work every day either. What a sweet store with kind employees. The woman working today wasn't too pushy and let me roam while still quickly showing me why their candles are special. I love this type of customer service. Bought a $50 brass bird dish and a $10 candle snufter. Saw there was a 20% off for new customer Check In Offer which is what made me pull the trigger on the brass catch-all dish plus the snufter that I originally was only going to buy. What a great business you run. Keep doing what you're doing! read more

Great service!! Ayla and Dina greeted me warmly with a complimentary hand wash which I LOVED. I also liked how their soy candles also double as a moisturizer, it's very unique. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Obsessed with this store. Stumbled past it on a hot girl summer walk and was immediately greeted by Olivia and treated to a free hand wash which included four products that were both soaps and exfoliants. Heaven. You can try the different scents and their body wash can be used as soaps too, so if you're looking for liquid soap then you can expand your scents. You can also CUSTOMIZE? I got the yuzu body wash (to use for soap) and I wasn't going to add scents but Olivia added verbana and oh baby! Incredible. The bottle was affordable at $21 and completely tailored to my wants. Roy helped out by finding me a soap pump to go with. I'll be getting my hand soap here from now on! read more

Walked by this store and had to take a look inside. The staff is super friendly. They take you to the back where there's a huge sink to wash and scrub your hands with their products. You can customize your scents. Most products come in different sizes. My favorite product being a candle where you can use the wax as a moisturizer. This is a perfect place to get a gift for someone. read more

I went in last week and the service was incredible. I worked with a young brunette, full of energy and life. She was encouraged and motivated me to purchase. Today, not so much. The woman in the morning with the glasses is stand off ish and simply rude. She can stand to either have a customer service refresher or work elsewhere. Not sure what she's doing there. Hope Soapologu looks into read more

I bought a liquid soap and it leaked on my way home! I was not happy and told the store in an email and they said they would give me refund. That was not TRUE even after repeated attempts to contact them. They still did not issue a refund. I would not recommend the place. read more

A great place to go to feel and smell amazing! I love the team who works at the small boutique!!! From the moment you walk into the store you instantly feel at home and know that you will be taken care of... LOVE the large tub in the back of the shop where you can try out the various cleansing products and lotions. What I like the most is the customization you can get for each of the products to get a personalized scent or simply go for the off the shelf great scents! I like to mix and match! A great place for gifts and just to lift your spirits! read more

we loved all the products. Such nice staff. everything is so natural. thank you for great service. !

I have been a longtime fan of Soapology's hand-poured candles ($26). They double as massage candles and are made of soy wax, providing a cleaner, slower burn. The wax melts into a luxuriously scented massage oil that you can use to moisturize your skin. Soapology's candles also come in a smaller votive size for $10. I personally love their white tea+ginger, sangria+white peach, and yuzu scents. They also have a seasonal mulberry scent that is very good too. Overall, Soapology is a great place for gift-shopping as they have a good variety of bath/body products, some of which that are expertly curated in gift sets, in lots of great scents. read more

Only certain people seem "entitled" to service here. Walked in with my friend because it smelled so good inside as we passed the entrance. The sales girl told us about the store and seemed very friendly...until the "other" couple walked in. She gave them a similar speech but proceeded to walk them to the sink in the back where she gave them samples to try, rubbing their hands with the products and really getting into it. I found what I wanted and waited for her for a bit. She saw me at the register and said she would be there when she was done. Waited another minute or two. When it was obvious that she wasn't interested in making the sale, we left. So if people like me aren't welcome, that's fine. I saved a ton of money, as I wanted to buy a few gift sets as well. I've never encountered being ignored at Sabon so that's where I'll shop in the future. My money is still green there. I'll bet those people you spent so much time with didn't buy a damned thing. Nice job Soapology. read more

I walked in last night around 8 with my son. We were shopping for a Mother's Day gift. We were entranced by the delightful scents in the air as we entered, radically different from the odors outside... Alice, the salesperson, walked us through the products and introduced us to some specials. We perused and smelled all the delectable smells then splurged on a bunch of different things! They have a ton of products like glycerin soaps, candles that melt down into massage oil, oil perfumes, bath salts, scrubs, lotions, bubble bath, loofah, and more. I wish they offered the bubble bath in more scents. I only saw about 3 or 4. Still, the scents they offered were really nice. Alice created little packages for us and stuffed the bags with lots of paper so there was 'no peeking' which I thought was cute. She was really engaging and positive which made the experience that much better. ​At one point, there was an intoxicated guy, maybe homeless, who walked in and was shopping for a gift for his girlfriend. She knew he wasn't really there to shop but still treated him with respect and dignity. At the end of it all we left happy. I did notice that I had a thin layer of oil on my face from whatever candles were lit. I was cool with it, I have dry skin. If you're not into that, I'd carry some rice paper wipes in my bag. I'm excited for my next opportunity to go back. I got about 10 products and spent about $100. For me Value 10/10 Products Offered 10/10 Scents Available 9/10 Service 12/10 Atmosphere 10/10 read more

First off smells amazing inside Secondly the feeling as you enter is warm and cozy The staff are sweet, kind, and attentive to your needs They are also very knowledgeable about all products Thanks for the soap bars I'll be trying the bar in the morning read more

I was so excited to visit this store on Mother's day with my son and daughter. I love soaps and scrubs...they are just one of life's great pleasures. I was already sold when I walked in the door. That was until the customer service associate started talking to me. Every question I had about a product she laughed at me and made a face like why are you stopping me from giving you my rehearsed lines about this product. I thought it was just me until my daughter said why does this rep keep laughing at everything you say like you have a whole bunch of dumb questions. After having the demo of the scrubs and lotion I really wanted to buy because it felt and smelled good, but the customer service girl was so obnoxious that I just couldn't let her think that she did a good job so I just walked out. I'll just buy a great scrub and cream from some where else. Too bad. read more

Honestly I'm really in love with this soap shop!!! I have never seen something so naturally relaxing and simply beautiful. Upon walking around the city with my boyfriend we happened to stop at this shop and the man working inside was so kind and allowed us to try SO many products!! We started with the body soap, then I did a coarse lavendar body scrub, a walnut scrub and another lavendar scrub that was fine enough for the face. The coffee scrub was also sooo nice on the skin. The smells that I loved were the lavendar, verbena & they even have a body wash that is tobacco scented!?!? #cool Also their candles are super cool. They are soy based and can be used as massage oil!!! So cool. Love this shop very much. Also get their lavendar lotion!!! read more

nice people and nice store. Products had a strong scent that lingers for a bit of time. Got a yuzu shea cream that smells really nice.

Leena was so sweet and helpful, i look forward to coming back. We wandered upon this shop late one night while roaming the meat packing district. We were drawn in by the sweet aroma and the sale signs. Upon entry we were greeted by Leena and she made some suggestions from the sale rack that were awesome. We ended up getting the body oil and I couldn't be happier. 3 hours later, while writing this post, I still smell the fragrance and my arm is sooooo smooth and supple..... i think I'm going to go back in the morning and get some more before we leave. On top of the massage/body oil recommendation she also gave us some free samples of the walnut polish. I tried the walnut polish and I can understand why it's a best seller. My face was so soft after I used it. It was a great exfoliator, even for my sensitive skin. read more

My husband and I were wondering around looking for the High Line Park, but were distracted by a sign that said $5 soap sale. So, be being the lover or all things that smell lovely, I had to check it out. We were initially greeted by Michal, who was very pleasant and patiently answered all of my husband's questions - as he's also a bath time fan. There are MANY scents to choose from, and they can customize salt scrubs, shower gel and bubble baths to whatever combination of scents you like. Michal worked with me to make a body scrub that smells divine - Jasmine Coconut. We also checked out everything else in the store - your standard fare scrubs, Shea butters, bath bombs, perfumes, ect.. Overall a really great visit, and I will surely be back. read more

This store is lovely. We were treated to complimentary hand washes with no pressure to purchase. They are generally just excited for people to try their products. When I found a scrub I liked, they customized it for me. If you are looking for quality soaps, scrubs and gifts, please visit. Prices are excellent. read more

I searched on Yelp for a place to get my hands on some lavender scented products and came across this shop. They do carry a lot of lavender scented products- perfumes/ sachets/ reed diffusers/ shower gels etc and in some other scents like water Lilly Jasmine etc. The ladies that tended the shop helped with spraying the scents I was after in pieces of wooden sticks to let me smell outside the shop- the whole shop smelled very overwhelming and strong, other than that they didn't seem to be very interested in welcoming their customers but having laughs and giggles over their causal chats at work read more

Touted as offering products that are "handmade and natural," this quaint, cute shop has many delights for your senses: soy candles, face washes, lotions, soaps, and perfumes. The service was great--personable but not pushy. She led me to the sink in the bank and let me try their various washes, scrubs, and lotions. I'm not sure whose hand- and face-washing regimen is that involved, but it sure felt and smelled good. They have soy candles in various scents like verbena, tea and ginger, and lavender; they come in two sizes - small ($10) and large ($26). They also have various soaps - either based in glycerin or oil and they run about $8. I didn't get a chance to look at their other stuff in detail, so I'd like to return. I can imagine that if you like that sort of thing or just have a hard time making decisions, you'll be in the little shop for a while. It's definitely not a place for bargain hunters but it was a good experience, especially if the quality is as good as they say. read more

I've walked by this store all the time and finally had a moment to explore my senses. The staff here are lovely and very helpful. I was looking for something youthful yet sensual and picked three oils that stood out to me... Rose, sandalwood and vetiver. I walked around the neighborhood a bit to see how it settled on my skin and came back right away to purchase. I fell in love!! This beats any alcohol perfume I've ever bought. They have a wide selection of scents to choose from and you can combine whichever ones you like to create your voodoo. I love the girls that helped me, they were so knowledgeable. The only thing I would say is - it would be a great idea to have a guide that can assist customers with which notes can compliment each other. (Just to help narrow down since there are so so many scents to choose from). Also the candles are great - you can use the soy as a massage cream/oil. I love my Yuzu candle! I had a wonderful experience and will be back again! read more

When you're a single lady around Valentine's, few things cure self esteem like a good pampering and retail therapy! Take care of two birds with one stone and head to Soapology. When you walk in, you are treated to a lovely hand treatment to try all their signature products. The smooth shower gel, the salt/sugar scrub, the walnut body polish, and the buttercream lotions. Soapology also carries bar soaps, soy candles (which double as hand lotion), massage oil, and perfume. But the BEST part about Soapology is the custom scents. Soapology carries shelves of essential oils which can be blended into a custom perfume - Kelly R. and I spend a hour here every year crafting the next year's perfect scent. (This year was a midnight orchid and white ginger amber blend for me.) While some may feel that a bar of soap should always come in a pack of 6 for $5, I'm a strong believer in handmade and paying for the amazing quality. The soaps are moisturizing and creamy and I live by the walnut body polish exfoliant. The customer service is the best - shoutout to Kate! and I'm a very happy repeat customer. Thanks Soapology! read more

I absolutely love this place. To begin, their customer service is excellent. They are always so pleasant and helpful. I also appreciate that they don't force things on you. They take the time to walk you through anything you wish to try. I use the shower gel, the lotion, and the scrub, all in lavender. My skin feels so soft and hydrated. Next, I will try the bath oil. read more

This place is great! The decor is wonderful! The products are beyond! The service was good!

I happened into this cute little shop while wandering around NYC exploring. Kara, offered to demonstrate their products by washing, scrubbing twice then moisturizing my hands in a huge sink in the store! Once we were through my hands felt smooth & fantastic and smelt delicious! I'm always a sucker for luxurious bath & body products. At Soapology you are able to choose your own scents made with all natural essential oils - though there are some pre-made ones available that smell great! After patiently narrowing down some preferences with me - Champagne Sugar was it!! Yum! When I mentioned I was traveling, Kara offered to ship my products for me with a minimum purchase of $100 which was really helpful. I got a body wash and body lotion in my scent, plus their walnut scrub (fabulous) and a room diffuser. I can't wait to get home and dive in! One more note - I got a sample of my scent (Champagne Sugar) on a stick, which I carried all over NYC to enjoy throughout all the, ahem, "interesting" aromas in the city! read more

Aromatherapy bliss! The natural scents flowing throughout the Soapology store are Divine! I walked in randomly with one of my girlfriends after dinner at Meme's and a walk through turned into a shopping spree. A very nice rep offered us a hand treatment which showcased all of the store's amazing skin care products. Their scrubs are so inventive with ingredients like walnut, black coconut and coffee. I love their egg shaped bath bombs they all smell great, I couldn't chose between all the original scents, so I bought a sample pack of 3. They've got the lotion science down packed, some natural skin products are either too sticky or oily but their butter creams have just the right texture. And all of the scents are fragrant but subtle. I purchased a sample package for $65 which included 3 scrubs (black coconut, walnut, coffee), a butter cream, a bottle of lotion, a bar of soap, a bottle of body wash and a small wash cloth. You can even make your own perfume, they have an array of oils for endless combinations. Soapology is definitely my new fav place! read more

Really large selection. Some of the fragrances are extremely strong so shop wisely. There is a large selection of soaps and home sprays.

I've been passing this store for years; they often have someone standing outside handing out samples of soap, and I always take one. (The scent haunts me for days!) They also offer a free hand treatment, which I've only done once; basically, they scrub your palms with one of their aromatic cleansers, then finish with lotion. It's really neat. Today I got a jar of the Walnut Polisher, because I needed a scrub for my face. It's just great, with ground walnut shells as the active ingredient; a little more than I wanted to spend, but with Soapology I know all their products are vegan-certified, and I can pronounce all their ingredients. I was feeling a little extravagant, and I figured hey: you only have one face. It's great stuff. read more

Wait, how have I not left a review yet? I'd live here if they let me - all things Vetiver from this holy apothecary. Everyone is so friendly and so wildly interesting, they hire smart, eclectic people who really understand how unique and amazing the products here are. What I LOVE: - Linen spray. I'm telling you, Vetiver linen spray will give you a deep and relaxing nights sleep, but lavender is helpful, too, but I prefer that as a satchel in my pillow. - Body Butter. It is so rich and creamy I'm still hydrated even after getting in the pool. I have mint for morning showers to wake me up and Vetiver for before bed. - Eye Cream. Honestly, I use this all over my face sometimes. I don't know how they get this so satin smooth but it feels like pampering your skin every use. - Walnut scrub. There is no better facial exfoliation on the planet. Buy this in bulk. No kidding. That giant $75 jar, I promise, you want that. - Face wash. It's the olive oil in there that makes me radiate but man is this face wash hard to beat. - Dead Sea Clay Mask. No way to over state this - it will give you a new face. It pulls out every impurity and leaves my face tingly clean and exceptionally bright. I love this stuff. - ALL of their candles. The Tea Rose, Tobacco & Caramel, Yuzu and White Tea & Ginger are all on regular rotation in my house. BIG FAN: - Soaking salt. It just does something to my bath water and I'm always fighting sleep shortly after hopping into the tub. - Bath bombs. They don't fizz like others but they make the bath water something mythic. It's a creamy bath filled with essential oils and it's like stepping back in time. - Night cream. Like the eye cream it's ridiculously smooth and I often put this on in place of a regular day time moisturizer. - Shower gel. Nothing particularly special about the gel itself other than the oil/scent you pick, but it stays with you all day. - Massage Oil. I prefer this to the perfume oil which can be incredibly strong, but the massage oil has the added benefit of serving as a moisturizer as well. - As much as I love the coffee scrub and recommend it, I actually love the sugar scrub more. It's a pretty powerful exfoliate and easier on the drain. Seriously, I could go on and on and on. I love this place. If you stop in, tell them the Vetiver girl says hello. And they're online, too (thank God)! read more

This place deserves a 5star rating for their amazing scrub and wonderful service. We had lunch in the neighborhood and as we were walking past the Soapology to walk off some calories, the fragrance coming from the store instantly caught my attention and I had to stop by. - Their candle is amazing. Apparently, it is made with all natural ingredients and you can even rub the oil (it's not the normal candle wax that you expect!) on your skin and it smells and feels so good! - The scrub scrub scrub. OMG. So, the store representative invited us in for the scrub experience, and we tried out a bunch of their scrubs such as brown sugar, coffee, Creamy Bath Scrub Verbena & Ginger, and the AMAZING walnut scrub. Their walnut scrub is the best scrub I've tried and I had to purchase a large jar. You don't need to use a lot so a small jar will last you a long time and it is finely grated that it feels so heavenly against your skin. - Ask for samples. I got fragrance oil and soap. The soap was very smooth and melty, but I liked it. I am not really a soap bar person, but it felt pretty good. I didn't realize that there was a yelp check-in promotion going on, but yes do take advantage of that 20% coupon! read more

Very bad service...July 26 2022. 6:35 p.m We went there and the cashier didn't ask anything and when we asked she said that just look at it if you didn't find anything that what u likewe don't have it in the store..very racism...she was so nice to white customer whose was same time with us in the store..even she was bullying that soap soap although we said we r looking for soap bar. Very bad service read more

This place is the bath bomb! Really, it's amazing The sales lady knew her stuff and was so polite and not pushy. She offered a free sample of several products and was able to explicitly explain the benefits of each product. In addition, a consumer can create their own bath salt,scrub or lotion by adding a variety of different scents available. This was such a pleasant place to visit and shop. read more
