There’s a quiet kind of love that shows up every single day.
It’s in the small decisions we make for our homes, our families, and ourselves — the products we reach for without thinking, the routines we repeat, the care we build into ordinary moments.
When I invented SNOAP, that was the kind of love I was thinking about.
Not grand gestures.
Not novelty gifts.
But thoughtful choices that genuinely make everyday life better — healthier, simpler, kinder.
As Welsh St Valentine’s Day approaches, inspired by St Dwynwen, it feels like the perfect moment to talk about what love really looks like in a modern home — and why switching to SNOAP is one of the most meaningful changes you can make.
The Hidden Problem With “Normal” Hand Wash and Shampoo
Most of us don’t question what sits by the sink or in the shower.
Liquid hand wash. Plastic bottles. Pump dispensers. Shampoo after shampoo.
But here’s what stopped me in my tracks:
-
Liquid hand washes are detergent-based, not soap
-
They strip the skin’s natural barrier rather than nourish it
-
They’re mostly water, shipped in plastic, designed to be thrown away
-
In busy family homes, a significant amount (60%) goes unused — straight down the drain
We don’t keep buying them because they’re better.
We buy them because they’re familiar.
Why SNOAP Is Different (And Why Families Feel the Difference)
SNOAP was designed to rethink everything we’d accepted as “normal”.
At the heart of SNOAP is the refillable SNOAP Dispenser — a beautifully engineered system designed to be refilled forever.
👉 https://snoap.co.uk/products/snoap-dispenser
Here’s how it works:
-
You add two solid bars of soap or shampoo into the dispenser
-
Those two bars replace 20 bottles of liquid wash
-
When they’re finished, you simply refill again — replacing another 20 bottles
This isn’t a one-off swap.
It’s a permanent shift away from single-use plastic.
The solid bars stay dry and untouched inside the dispenser. With a simple twist, they’re transformed into a fine, snow-like powder. Add water. Lather. Wash.
No slime.
No shared bars.
No waste.
What this means in real life:
-
A single-use plastic-free hand and hair-washing system (pets included)
-
Soap that retains its natural glycerine, nourishing skin instead of stripping it
-
Hygienic and ideal for shared family spaces
-
Less clutter, less waste, and genuine long-term savings
If you’re exploring alternatives to traditional hand wash, bathroom soap dispensers, or refillable soap systems, this is exactly what SNOAP was created to solve.

What Customers Notice First (And Love Most)
One of my favourite things is hearing what customers notice unexpectedly once they switch.
Here’s a recent 5-star review from Caroline Rogers:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I absolutely love the scent of these products & my hair feels really clean… & as a bonus the shower glass has less water marks on 🥰”
Cleaner hair.
Cleaner skin.
Cleaner showers.
That’s what happens when you remove detergents and excess liquid from the equation.
A Founder’s Note — From Me to You
I didn’t set out to build a brand.
I set out to solve a problem I could see in my own home.
As a mum, I wanted products that were:
-
Gentle on sensitive skin
-
Safe for children and families
-
Single-use plastic free, not just marketed as sustainable
-
Better value over time
And as a Welsh woman who deeply loves our land and coastline, I couldn’t ignore what plastic waste was doing to our environment.
SNOAP is my answer to all of that.
Every refill.
Every wash.
Every bar replaced.
Each one is a small, everyday act of care — for the people you love and the planet they’ll inherit.
Why SNOAP Is a Beautiful Welsh St Valentine’s Gift
Welsh St Valentine’s Day isn’t about flashy romance.
It’s about care, protection, and everyday love.
That’s why SNOAP makes such a meaningful gift:
-
For partners
-
For families
-
For new homes
-
Or simply for yourself
You’re not just giving soap.
You’re giving healthier skin, calmer routines, less waste — and a system that quietly says “I care about you” every single day.
