Our Story
Nicholson River Soaps was created by myself, Bianca, in 2010 after our family received a diagnosis for my son of Fragile X Syndrome, which is a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability, behavioural and learning challenges, various physical characteristics and many other medical conditions.
It is also the only known genetic cause of autism.
With many different therapy appointments each week needed for my son Cooper and his ongoing immune deficiencies that would cause him to be unwell constantly, it was impossible trying to hold down a 9-5 job whilst having to take time off work, but i wanted to be able to help provide for my family which also includes my two older daughters Michaela and Darci.
So my love of handmade soap began here whilst caring for my son at home...... i researched the benefits of natural handmade soaps to see if it would benefit my sons eczema.
Goatsmilk soap was my starting point...... i started making our own soap using goat milk from our goats on our farm in Nicholson, East Gippsland, Victoria.
I shared these with family and friends who encouraged me to take them to the local markets...... so i did!
From here 'Nicholson River Soaps' evolved.
After many years of attending local and afar markets we took the plunge and opened our store front in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland in June 2019.
After drought, fires and COVID-19 we are still going strong and love all the support our customers show us.
We also specialise in Buffalo Milk and Camel Milk soaps.
Our retail shop also has a bulk refillery of Bath, Body and Cleaning products which you are most welcome to bring in your own bottles and containers to refill.
From my family to yours, we put lots of love and careful attention in each item. We hope you enjoy our work as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.
