A Traditional Soap from Yorkshire

Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap was developed in 1930 by chemist Fred Mitchell in Bradford, England — a city historically associated with the wool industry. Observing that wool workers’ hands remained soft due to the natural lanolin present in raw wool, Mitchell created a soap that incorporated wool fat to help nourish and protect the skin. This unique formula quickly gained popularity for its gentle cleansing and moisturizing qualities.

The Benefits of Natural Lanolin

The distinctive ingredient in Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap is lanolin, a natural moisturizer derived from wool. Lanolin is known for its ability to help maintain skin softness and hydration, making the soap particularly suitable for dry or sensitive skin. Combined with a traditional soap base, the result is a cleansing bar that is both effective and remarkably gentle.
