This was a very fun activity for my daughter and me. She was thrilled to select different colors (even glitter), scents, surprise inside toys, and shapes to gift her friends. All of these selections are included in the price. By melting one bar of soap, we were able to create around 20 tiny gift soaps to share with others. That is a lot of soap. If we selected bigger soap molds, then we could possibly have made four or five soaps for our friends. We were provided gift bags with tyes and cards to share with everyone for free. The soap making building is the second building, and the building where you pay is the first building from the corner of Philadelphia street. Also, the day that we went, we received a free sample of bath bombs to help calm my daughter whom was having a temper tantrum in the middle of the store because she did not want to leave this place. I cannot afford to buy gifts for my friends anymore, but I am thankful for the experience. If I ever have extra money, then I will make soap here again. I dont have any money for it though. Overall this is a very affordable activity for one bar of soap.
Have never heard of this shop until my neighbor bought me some body butter! It smells DELICIOUS!!! An I absolutely love it. I am planning to go visit the shop now that I know about it. I was going to order online but unfortunately it does say its an unsecured site so I wont put my debit card into the site. But I look forward to going to the actual shop
Amazing place and experience. A little more pricey but thats what you pay you when things are homemade. It is definitely worth the trip though! It is very hard to find parking just a little warning 😁 me and my children loved the experience and had a wonderful time!
I visited this wonderful soap shop while visiting York for the weekend. They recommended their beer soap (smells amazing!!) to me as I was looking for local gifts to take home with me, and they also made a fantastic recommendation to check out the York Imporium and provided a coupon for a 10% discount. I certainly look forward to returning when in town again!
Great hometown shop, quality products, friendly service, cool workshops. Love the Bubble Boxes! They make a great gift!
Fantastic spot, great location, great soaps. Fun activities also!
Sunrise soap had been a staple of my forays into downtown York for years. Chris, the proprietor, has done an amazing job and of expanding her tiny, closet sized soap shop into this amazing, 4 location small business chain in Downtown York, Eastern market, Downtown Gettysburg and in Lancaster, at the park city mall. Each one of these stores have an extensive selection of handmade soaps and body products as well as a host of other products such as inscense, locally made crafts, clothes...too much to mention.it has been very satisfying to see her so successful. Her employees are also amazing, friendly and knowledgeable about the products, which you can watch them make right in front of your eyes!!
No one ever said, We have too much soap! This is their motto and rightfully so. Think deep and try to imagine ANY fragrance of soap, letting the aroma arouse your senses. Sunrise Soap Company specializes in the rare, to the most used types of soap making them the perfect Monopoly on cleanliness. WATCH their employees mix and create their own special blends, bringing about the most amazing smells that soap has to offer. Five stars for a squeaky clean product made with care by professional soap manufacturers, whose work sells itself!
Staff was very nice. Loved the store
My all time favorite body butter, Zen, an intoxicating blend of patchouli, clove and orange, arrived in the mail today! Super skin softening, long lasting and sunshine day-dreamy are all adjectives that describe this, and pretty much ANY product from Sunrise Soap.Keep on blending those amazing recipes! 😊
Great place with lots of great products and very nice and helpful employees!
Really good selection of soaps, bath bombs and lotion. They offer discounts for the refills. They reall have a friendly owner. It was a great soap store.
Nice shop with friendly, helpful people. I started using their shampoo bars, and theyre awesome! Better than bottled and lasts a surprisingly long time!!
This place is amazing! I always buy my face moisturizer here. I use the light lotion and then add some essential oils. Bring your own container and save!
My mind was totally blown by this amazing place. Handmade soaps, bath bombs, essential oils and more combined with the lovely energy of the folks working there made it the perfect gift shopping experience. Yay for small business in York!!!
This is truly my happy place!
We stopped in their shop 8 or 9 years ago when they were doing a Made in the USA weekend in York. We love their soaps and their lotion bars. We are no longer in the area so I make an order from time to time and have them shipped. They have the best scents and fantastic soap!
Soap is the best! Great local store
Lovely little shop! We but there frequently and appreciate the awesome customer service and quality products. Covid-compliant business as well.
Love this place ❤ 1st time in and the staff was very helpful staff
Absolutely love thus place! Its amazing!! And smell good too!☺
Ordered their goats milk soap as a last resort of my sensitive acne prone skin. Nothing has ever worked after trying “holy grail” products for years. Finally the goats milk soap has been amazing for my breakout prone skin. The pricing is competitive and it makes me feel good ordering for a Pennsylvania business. So in love with this company. Ordered at the beginning of the pandemic and my order arrived within 5 days. Very impressed with this company.
Love the variety and quality of soaps! There are also unexpected and unique items that you find that you didnt know you want/need.
Favorite stop every Saturday were downtown!
The mother ship as they staff affectionately calls this location. Its their working indoor factory for over 14 years. Yes, they are making most of the products they offer right in the back of this store. This production facility gives a lightly sensory overload with the fragrances of all the different incenses, soaps, perfume bath bombs ect. Through out the store stacks of soap and in various stages of dring.
Awesome place. Some crystals, oils, etc
AMAZING!! Their soap is the only one I will use. Additionally, all of the products I’ve purchased from Sunrise have been exceptional. I highly recommend Sunrise. Have fun shopping!
I love ordering from Sunrise. Their lip balms are the only ones I use. My mother had issues with dry scalp. Since she started using their leave in condition her scalp has significantly improved and she no longer has issues. The orders always come quickly and without issue. I cannot recommend them enough.
If I could give this shop a million stars I would! Growing up in downtown York, this was the first store I ever ventured in to and now I go all the time. The owner Chris, quickly became one of my favorite downtown people. I use their products on the regular, and always go back for more once I’m out. My skin tends to be sensitive but it loves anything that comes out of here. They are also environmentally conscious which is a plus in my book. There’s just something magical about this place♥️
This place is the best! No matter what products we buy they always are amazing. Every time we are in Pennsylvania, this place is one of our must visits!
One day I sat across the street from Sunrise eating ice cream with my then 3 year old. We had left the doctors office where we received the news that they would no longer be treating her for her skin because nothing was working.After reading the sign on the glass and appreciating their humble decor... I was willing to try anything. I went into the store and was greeted with kindness right away.. it was so peaceful and the sun coming through the window illuminated everything....I spoke to the lady and she looked at my daughter and gave me a sample soap and said try this then come back. I was confused as to why she didn’t say “buy this, buy that” but I trusted her word.I tried it for a week and NOTHING that doctors prescribed my daughter has worked like that soap has! Of course I went back, I asked question, as they educated me I learned and produced my own routine with their products..My daughter went from looking like a burn patient, from raw skin, cuts and blisters to a happy child that was able to bathe and play with no pain and her skin was healing! Now 10 years later I still go to them, with trust that every item is made with love. We rely on their products.I refer so many people to them every chance I get when I hear a story about anyone suffering with skin. To top it off, I gave my last supply to a child in need. The next day I drove into York as early as I could and ran into the lady putting up a sign and closing shop due to the virus. At this point I was a bit worried I wouldn’t have been able to purchase but, with no problem she walked back into the shop and got me what I needed and also added and sample soap.The people here mean well, their products mean well... I respect and love this store and I hope they know how much they have impacted me and many lives. Because of that little sample soap I received years ago and them simply being there... I am forever in their debt...Thank you! 🙏
My wife loves this place. Very friendly staff. Great items for everyone in the family.
I stop at this store every time I am in Gettysburg. The woman who runs this is fabulous. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Bath bombs lotions scrubs and soaps as well as lip balms are worth the stop. Don’t miss this shop.
The best fragrances and staff the sales woman are awesome.. you wont find a better soap anywhere on the internet or in a fragrance store anywhere .Ive used their products for two years now and will never use bodywash again AXE HAS NOTHING ON THERE PRODUCTS OF HAND MADE SOAPS.
These are indeed tough times. If you feel the need for a spa day and your favorite location is closed, Sunrise Soap Co offers you an in-home experience like no other. Every one of their products is amazing as are Chris and her team. Together they will help you wash your stress and troubles away (if only for a while) and provide you an absolutely outstanding customer experience. Ive been using natural products for years, but theres no comparison. Im now a fan for life!
Love love love this store!! The people are amazing and the products are out of this world!!
Only place I buy my soaps from now. Love them and my skin has been healthy for the years I have switched to them. Very happy with everything I buy. No matter which store i go to, the staff are very kind and helpful. Highly recommend.
I don’t understand all of the good reviews on here. I went there with my friends to find a soap for my one friends sick mom. I guess we took too long for the hag who was working, and she basically told us to buy something now or leave and was very nasty. We were in there for maybe 10 minutes tops. I won’t ever go back there - besides the soaps were mediocre at best I’d rather invest in lush or make my own.
Oh my goodness If you love smell good soaps, and I tell you this shop doesnt disappoint. The staff is very welcoming, I was there on a trip with the Bowie Senior Center and the owner and associates could not have been more kind, and helpful. I am still enjoying the soap, body butter. The sugar scrub which was made up for me on the spot. (Where does this happen) I want to thank them for a great experience.
The best bath products Ive ever used! My whole family loves the soaps, bath fizzies, shampoo, and face cleanser. Great customer service too. I highly recommend this store!
I just checked Sunrise Soap co out for the first time today. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They have some INCREDIBLE scents that that have made into soaps, bath bombs, and oils. Great for a gift or a special treat for yourself! Check it out! Candy helped me and she was great!
Love your deodorant and soap.
Great store and fantastic people running it. I first learned about this store from a PCN tour on PBS a few years ago. I was finally able to visit actual store and I am so glad I did. What a great experience. Thank you I love your products.
Brought in a client w special needs and the ladies who worked there made it so easy for him to have an enjoyable time making soap and lip balm. To say they catered to him is an understatement. He loved it and was so excited to make a present dor his mom and roommate. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an activity that is not to taxing or overly long. For $9. He made 7 soaps in various shapes that he picked out as well as color and scent. He also made a flavored lip balm. Well worth it for just the sheer happiness it brought him. Thank you and kudos for your understanding, patience and coolness
I fell in love with their soap after making my own and purchasing some during our school district wellness day last year. My son also enjoyed making his own soap with the huge variety of molds. I love that it is all natural and its great for my sensitive skin. I am sad that the Park City store is now closed, but I just recently ordered my favorite soap online and received it quickly. Hopefully Ill be visiting the York store soon. Thank you for making such healthy, safe, affordable, and effective products!
Always find what I need and everyone is very helpful!
Bright. Colorful. Cheery. Fascinating. Beautiful. These are the words I would use to describe Sunrise Soap Co., the bath bombs, topicals, and soaps... but also the outgoing and darling staff.They greet, interact, and explain the process behind making these wonderful products. The turn of the century machines in use are fascinating and the soaps are amazing.Highly recommend.
I made my own soap and bathfizzies at the Maker’s Tables. The soap is wonderful. The bath fizz also was very luscious but in the bath seemed to make my skin oily. After getting out of the bath I was very relaxed and able to fall asleep quickly. When I woke up, I noticed how soft my skin was. I was very happy with the service quality and the workers. I would definitely go back!
Awesome little soap shop in downtown York. Handmade, affordable bar soap, shampoo bars, lotions, bath bombs, charcoal facial soaps and scrubs, incense, cute bumper stickers, and more! The owners are deadhead hippies and they have a very cute, natural aesthetic and you get a sense of pride buying from a small, eco-friendly business. Bring in their paper bag they give you when you come back to cut down on waste and save a little bit off your total next time. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and can recommend soaps and lotions based on your skin type or any skin conditions you may have.
The service is the best! The soaps and lotions are all I use! Making the switch to their homemade products will truly improve the quality of your life!
I order from Sunrise all the time off of their website. Theyre basically the only soap that I use. Their Walnut Facial Soap has tamed my face and tamped down my breakouts. Their scented soaps smell great and last a long time. My favorite is the Sweet Orange with African Black Soap and Goats Milk Soap. Its a mouthful, but it makes my skin feel wonderful. I really appreciate what they do, and their customer service has always been good. Deliveries are shipped quickly too, which is always nice. A+ Would and Do recommend.
Very informative and knowledgeable. Happy to help the customers!
My little sister and I had such a fun time here making soaps, lip balm, bath bombs and lotion. Both times we stopped in the staff was very helpful and friendly. Great experience for the whole family! :D
Love their products. Always worth a visit if youre around York. All natural items, fair price and a friendly staff. Try the vanilla grapefruit body butter - oh yeah
Adorable shop. I didnt even know it existed but my hotel had a board of favorites from guest and it was listed. It was well worth it. I enjoyed chatting with the staff and shopping through the store. Will definately go back the next time Im in town!
I am absolutely in love with their dry shampoo and their foot scrub and their foot butter. My older daughter loves their bath bombs and my youngest daughter absolutely adores their rubber duckies and handmade decorative soaps. Speaking of which Im out of foot scrub ;)
Tons of homemade products. I love their pit paste and neem cream. Huge variety of soap. Folks are always kind and helpful.
Great soaps, lotions and potions. Super nice staff and just a fun place to visit. Great items to give as gifts or to pamper yourself. Most products are all natural and homemade.
Always a pleasure to visit Sunrise! Their products are amazing but so is everyone who works there! A favorite for sure!
Love this place. All organic and prices great. Friendly people and whats even better they know us and feel like family.
I took my campers here for a field trip and it was fun. We learned how to make soap and got to make some for ourselves. The ladies did a great job with my rowdy group!
Awesome handmade soaps! The shampoo bars are an amazing alternative to regular shampoo. I have very sensitive skin and I have had no issues with any of their products.
I love their shampoo bars. Makes my hair so soft and strong without all the harsh chemicals. So disappointed they aren’t at park city anymore.
I got to make fun soap with my baby sister for her birthday and the ladies working were super friendly and helpful!
Buying from their website was easy and pleasant. I received a phone call about an issue with my order and it was resolved immediately. I also made a silly mistake and used the wrong address. So when it was returned to the shop they called me and delivered to the correct address personally. AMAZING SERVICE!!!!! and AMAZING PRODUCT!
They have the best soap! It is the only soap that had helped with my sons eczema. It is the only soap that my family will use! There are so many amazing scents (or unscented) to choose from. Everyone who works here is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Excellent! Great customer service. Super friendly. Fun atmosphere. Amazing selection of products and scents. Highly recommend!
Best soaps Ive ever used! I have tried ALL kinds of handmade soaps and these are by far the best Ive found. They last longer, and the fragrances are subtle and not overwhelming. High quality products!
Went there last night with my girlfriend and our daughters. Staff was very friendly and super nice to the girls. Has tons of amazing smelling soaps, candles, incense, crystals, and more.
I love how environmentally friendly their products are, and their bath bomb display is always awe striking.
One of the best places in York to be and shop.
Love this place!! Wonderful hand made soaps and lip balms.
Love love love this place!! Products are awesome! The staff is exceptional! All very knowledgable and attentive!Cant wait to go make my own!
Cute shop with many handmade items!
Nice store. Saw it on pcn. Was very excited to drive from Pittsburgh to see it. When I got their guess I had one imagine in my head of what it was going to be. My image and what it was didnt match up.
The best soap hands down. You can use it for anything like shampoo, shaving, and washing. 1 bar last forever and the have over 100 scents to choose from. Love this place
Wonderful products, helpful and friendly staff! I love this place!
Now thats a hit went there to pick up something as a gift and my friend that I gave it to she said it was the most exquisite soap and toiletries that I had bought her she now drives all the way from Delaware to purchase soaps and bath supplies Ive also got spray for my dog who they make up for you to kill fleas and ticks and Im telling you you cant ask for a better place to shop Justice smell on itself is just more than you can ask for
I love takingy daughter here!!!! We always find something new and awesome. Plus I love the way I smell when I walk out of here!
This place is Soo dope they have Everything is natural. Body butters, deodorant, soap bath stuff make up. I love it everyone is so friendly I has the pleasure of meeting Arielle who makes a lot of the stuff and Chelsea who was just soo kind. You can go and make your own stuff. Its just a really cool place. If youre downtown York you have to check them out!!
Very cute, local store. The ladies inside were very friendly and helpful.
I went today and took 4 kids to make bath fizzies today and I would like to say that they did have fun making them but to be honest the smell combo of coco and another sent is awful no matter what they used. My son was excited to take a bath but when he started to run the water and threw them in he quickly changed his mind due to the foul smell. Im going to say again they did have fun but I would not take them again.
This is everything you love about a small business. The staff is lovely, knowledgeable, and friendly. The store is interesting, warm, and special. And the soaps and creams and fizzies, well, we just can’t say enough good things. We have been using the soaps for years and just cannot go back to the name-brand soaps full of chemicals that dry out our skin. We LOVE the bath fizzies especially in the fall and winter months to keep our skin from feeling dry, and the scents are amazing. Our daughters have made their own soaps and lotions many many times at the big wooden table in the back. We LOVE this place. It’s not just a shop, it’s an experience. You cannot go wrong here. It is absolutely worth a visit. Get yourself some soaps, fizzies, and body butter. Make some soaps or sugar scrubs. And don’t forget to bring back your store bag for a bit off your total!
My mom and I love this place. I’m in love with their natural soaps because they leave my skin soft and silky as most soaps dry out my skin. And there is such a nice large variety to choose from! My favorite is their “gold, frankincense and myrr soap” that comes out during the winter holidays. My mom is a big fan of their bath fuzzies and buys them by the dozens. Great products and friendly staff! If I lived closer I would take one of their awesome soap making classes!
I love their soaps and products, refuse to use any soap other than theirs. Only three stars due to their customer service. They seem to be rude as well as rushing. There has been instances where they are yelling at customers. Espically on weekends and near the holidays.I have had maybe two times where the staff was kind and helpful. I just wish the customer service was better.
Stop in the Sunrise Soap Company and dont just buy your soap but watch it actually being made and cut into bars. And all their probucts are made of old fashioned natural ingriedients. They have a large selection of scents on hand. Dont forget to pick up their homemade lip balms as well. Being set in downtown York, Pa and outfitted in 60s style will make this stop all the more fun!
A great place for home made soaps. Helpful staff
Awesome, little shop! Lots of soaps, bath bombs, lotions, etc. The employees there are friendly and helpful too! Will definitely visit again.
We stumbled across this gem of a store one night in York,Pa and what a Great place.We use many of their soaps now and will never ever go back to store bought soaps. Who knows whats in those soaps these days.? The owners are very friendly and will answer any questions that you may have. I highly recommend them.
It was our third time coming in to get soap balls of theirs. My kids loves their soap balls. The fragrance in the soap balls are what my kids like. You can make your own soap balls and the likes in that shop, which they can provide a class for a small fee. Do check out their apple app on your iphone to get their specials and discounts. At times they do give out free bag samples with your purchases. Wifi access is desired at this shop as the tower signal are really bad in the area.
This is one of the best places in york to buy soap, lotions, gifts, or just go to find things you didnt know you needed. They have a DIY table that is fun for any age! I bring my son in and he makes soaps for presents or for his tub time. I recommend this 100%
Ive been buying soaps and what not from sunrise for at least 3 years. One of the most amazing places Ive ever been to! Once you use their soap you wont want to use anything else 💕
THE - BEST ! ! ! The staff is always super helpful and willing to take time to explain anything. We buy ALL of our soaps, shaving cream and lotions from here. We will NOT buy it from anyone else. Give these folks a shot .... I am betting that you will agree.+
Great products. Friendly, helpful staff. Have been going there since shortly after it opened. Love it.
I absolutely love this place. I love bringing my kids here! My best friend introduced this place me!!
Super friendly staff and so much fun!!! My kiddos loved making soap and bath fizzies. They were very helpful when I had an issue with my groupon. Cant wait to visit again!!
