Soaphoria

Founded in February 2014 in Veľké Kapušany, Slovakia, Soaphoria grew from products that first entered the market in 2013 and from the work of sisters Bianka and Rita Bodnárová. Their concept followed a Croatian holiday encounter with handmade soap, while their grandmother’s teaching about herbs and traditional preparations informed the brand’s beginnings. What started as a small handmade-soap operation evolved into a natural-cosmetics range covering body, hair and facial care, ecological household products, candles and limited editions. Its stated identity is rooted in ecological and ethical values, natural and organic ingredients, respect for nature, handmade production and cruelty-free cosmetics through the Leaping Bunny program. The brand received the Začínající podnikatelka roku award in 2014 and the Mladý inovativní podnikatel award in 2015; in 2024, it reported taking second place in Heureka ShopRoku’s Sustainable E-shop category.
