Handmade Natural Soaps from Estonia — Foot, Shaving & More
A good handmade soap is more than just washing: natural glycerine, plant oils and a carefully chosen composition care for the skin while you wash. Nurme’s handmade soaps are made in Estonia in small batches, each with its own purpose. In this guide: which soaps are available, who they suit and how to choose.
Why handmade soap
Handmade soap keeps the natural glycerine that is often removed from industrial soap — it helps the skin retain moisture. Nurme soaps are based on plant oils, without unnecessary additives. A bar soap is also packaging-friendly and lasts a long time.
Nurme’s soap range
- Exfoliating foot soap — gentle mechanical exfoliation for tired and rough soles. Refreshing daily care.
- Women’s shaving soap — a creamy lather for a gentle shave; helps avoid irritation and dryness.
- Zero-waste soap set (6×100 g) — an affordable set of different soap bars with minimal packaging. Great for trying out and as a gift.
- Lemongrass soap — a refreshing citrus scent, gentle for daily washing (pairs nicely with the lemongrass hair care).
How to choose
- For dry skin: prefer oil-rich bars; apply shea oil after washing.
- For everyday: lemongrass or the soap set.
- For targeted care: exfoliating foot soap for soles, shaving soap for legs/underarms.
- For the eco-conscious: the zero-waste set — less plastic.

Frequently asked questions
How does handmade soap differ from regular soap?
Handmade soap keeps the natural glycerine and is based on plant oils that care for the skin while washing. Many industrial soaps remove the glycerine and can dry out the skin.
Is handmade soap suitable for dry or sensitive skin?
Oil-rich natural soaps are usually gentle. For very dry skin, apply a moisturising oil (e.g. shea oil) after washing. Every skin is different — if you have sensitivity, test a small amount.
How do I store soap so it lasts longer?
Keep the soap in a dry soap dish with drainage between uses. A wet bar softens faster.
Is the zero-waste set the same quality as the individual soaps?
Yes, the same natural composition — simply a set with minimal packaging that is more affordable and eco-friendly.
Is the shaving soap suitable for sensitive skin?
The creamy lather is designed for a gentle shave and helps reduce irritation. For sensitive skin, test a small area first.
