At Regent Park Naturals, soap is more than a product. It is a continuation of tradition.
Founded by an archaeologist turned artisan soapmaker, Regent Park Naturals was built at the intersection of Appalachian wildcrafting and Eastern European family recipes. Each bar reflects two landscapes: the forested hills and stream valleys of Western Pennsylvania and the cabbage fields, herb gardens, and village kitchens of Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
Appalachian Wildcrafted Soap
Working deep within the wooded hills of Appalachia, we responsibly gather and refine natural botanicals that have been used for centuries in traditional skin remedies. Ingredients such as:
• Wild nettle
• Burdock root
• Jewelweed
• Raspberry leaf
• Plantain
• Oatmeal
• Bentonite clay
These roots, barks, seeds, and wildflowers are carefully identified, dried, and incorporated into our formulations using traditional cold process soap making methods. Cold process soap preserves the integrity of botanical infusions and creates a long lasting bar rich in natural glycerin, ideal for dry, sensitive, or problem prone skin.
Our popular anti poison ivy soap is crafted with jewelweed, oatmeal, bentonite clay, and burdock root, ingredients historically used in folk remedies throughout rural America.
Eastern European Soap Traditions
Alongside Appalachian wildcraft, Regent Park Naturals draws heavily from Eastern European heritage recipes and Slavic traditions. Many of our formulations are inspired by the practical, ingredient forward skin care traditions of Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine, where families relied on simple, effective recipes passed down through generations.
Our cabbage soaps such as Old Slovak, Slovakian Cabbage Soap, and Polish Spring, Traditional Cabbage Soap, are rooted in these traditions. Cabbage has long been used in Eastern European households for soothing compresses and skin applications. We adapt this heritage knowledge into modern handcrafted soap bars using:
• Cold process soap techniques
• Tallow and plant based oils
• Colloidal oatmeal
• Herb infusions
These bars reflect old world practicality: minimal synthetic additives, no harsh detergents, and no artificial fragrance oils unless clearly noted. The result is a soap that is both heritage driven and performance focused.
