Frequently Asked Questions

No, only that beer in your hand and that shot of whiskey in front of you will make you smell like you've been drinking. Seriously though, we use proprietary blend of oils in all of our products that give them the amazing scent that they have, and a little of that scent gets left behind. Instead of smelling like booze, you'll smell clean and like lavender, juniper, cedarwood, or other common fragrances.

We know they smell good enough to eat, however, our products are not meant to be eaten so please do not try. We use many food grade ingredients but Soap Distillery does not make food: we make soap. And we’re pretty good at that.

Our cocktailed blends come from a combination of how cocktails/spirits/beer/wine tastes and smells. That way we can develop a more well rounded fragrance. We use this same principle when creating our non-cocktailed blends as well, using a myriad of different notes to create complex and uniquely refined fragrances that meet current proposition 65 compliance.

We use a variety of essential oils, natural fragrances, and proposition 65 compliant fragrances to help us create well rounded scents that are also sustainable to produce. Did you know that it takes roughly 42 lbs of roses to create one small 5ml bottle of rose essential oil? That takes quite a lot of land and resources to produce! There are also essential oils like palo santo and sandalwood that are now unsustainable to produce as the raw materials are more scarce, and due to their popularity and lack of responsible sourcing, production of those oils have caused these trees to become more scarce in nature. This not only harms our ecosystem, it also drives the cost up. Because of this, the catch-all "all natural" doesn't always equal eco-friendly or safe, and we only source essential oils and natural isolates that are regenerative.

Our products are made with real human hands in the heart of beautiful Chicago!

As soon as a package leaves our facility, delivery time (including delays) is up to the carrier. We kindly ask that customers allow 3-5 business days from the delivery date for the package to hopefully find its way to the correct address. Sometimes carriers may mark a package as delivered before it actually reaches its destination or in some cases, the package has been delivered to an Access Point/Locker for customer pickup. We recommend contacting the carrier directly with any shipping/delivery related issues since they'll have more information available.

We also encourage customers to double-check that your shipping address is correct before checking out. Soap Distillery is not liable for missing/lost/stolen packages due to incorrectly entered shipping information and we’re unable to request address changes with the carrier once the package has been processed.

Please email us at hello@soapdistillery.com if you still haven't found your order within 3 business days of the recorded delivery date.
