What customers are saying...
I get extremely dry skin in the winter. Between cold weather and frequent hand washings, my hands are often raw, cracked, and painful despite medicated creams and lotions. These soaps have changed my hands completely in just a few weeks of use. I can now stay on top of keeping them moisturized and the cracking is completely resolved. Plus the scents are wonderful and gentle. Truly a game changer for me and have been sharing with everyone I know!

I’ve been using Glenn Ave Soap for a couple years now and it has changed the look and feel of my hands. I have really bad eczema on my hands and my dermatologist suggested Glenn Ave Soap to me. It worked wonders. I’ve hardly had any flair ups (compared to consistent flair up on my hands). I would recommend it to anyone. When we have guests people always comment on how much they love my soap and how good it smells! Love it!

We’ve been purchasing Glenn Ave’s wonderful foaming hand soaps for a long time, and have never been disappointed. The scents are lovely and the ingredients are all natural; the fact that they are non-irritating and non-drying to the skin is especially important for me as an eczema-prone person and my husband as a type-2 diabetic. As always, Glenn Ave’s shipping is rapid and items are securely packed. Glenn Ave, we love you!

What Makes Us Different
And How Do We Compare to Other Liquid Castile Soaps?
Our formula starts with organic extra virgin olive oil for a gentler, more moisturizing wash, and is complemented by coconut and sunflower oils for balanced cleansing, rich lather, and conditioning. Most other liquid castile soaps list coconut oil as their first and primary ingredient because is a lot less expensive than olive oil, but it is not nearly as moisturizing. We also add extra vegetable glycerin for enhanced skin conditioning. Best of all, our formula is ready to pour into a foaming dispenser—no mixing or dilution required.
FAQs
Many commercial companies don’t use saponified oils to make soap. Instead, they rely on cheap detergents, synthetic surfactants, artificial foaming agents, preservatives, and fragrances, which can leave your skin feeling dry and irritated.
At Glenn Avenue Soap Company, we take a different approach:
- We use saponified oils that cleanse and moisturize, rather than harsh synthetic detergents.
- We use essential oils and natural fragrances, rather than artificial scents with hidden ingredients.
Once you try our soaps, you’ll feel the difference—it’s like washing your hands with silk!
Saponification is the chemical reaction that creates true soap. At Glenn Avenue Soap Company, we make soap the traditional way, just like our great-great-grandparents did. While they used lard and wood ash, we use a carefully selected blend of high-quality oils. When these natural oils (triglycerides) mix with water and lye (an alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide), they transform into soap (fatty acid salt) and glycerin—a natural humectant that helps retain moisture in your skin.
Our foaming soaps contain a carefully selected blend of saponified Organic Extra Virgin Olive, Organic Coconut, and Organic Sunflower oils:
- Olive oil: Deeply moisturizing, creates a stable lather.
- Coconut oil: Adds fluffiness and enhances cleansing.
- Sunflower oil: Provides a smooth, silky feel and helps stabilize the lather.
Together, these oils create a gentle yet effective cleansing experience.

Foaming hand soap is more effective than regular liquid soap because:
- It lathers instantly, so you don’t waste soap trying to create a lather.
- It lasts longer—you get up to 2.5x more uses compared to liquid soap.
- It’s fun to use—especially for kids, making handwashing easier and more enjoyable!
Our soaps are all-natural and free from artificial preservatives. While they don’t expire, they may:
- Lose some aroma strength over time.
- Change color slightly.
For best results, we recommend using them within a year.
No, our refills are ready to use right out of the bottle! Unlike some other soap refills, ours do not require any dilution. Simply pour the refill into your foaming soap dispenser, and it’s good to go. This ensures you get the perfect consistency every time without the hassle of mixing or measuring.
No, foaming soap dispensers use a different pump mechanism than regular liquid soap dispensers.
- We offer our foaming soaps in an 8.5oz foaming pump.
- If you prefer a stylish option, we also sell refillable foaming glass dispensers.
Yes! While our products are lightly scented with essential oils (never artificial fragrances), we offer fragrance-free options for those with sensitivities.
We offer $5 flat rate shipping anywhere within the United States, regardless of order size.
