About

Hi, I'm Julie

Truequest Soap began at a real turning point in my life—one of those moments where everything shifts and you suddenly find yourself re‑evaluating what truly matters. Navigating a life‑changing autoimmune condition, fresh out of hospital, trying to rebuild normality one small step at a time. Because of that condition I fatigue easier, so I had to reduce the amount of work I had done for the past 36 years of dog training www.truequesttraining.co.uk

My Journey

A simple eye infection before a holiday led to a course of antibiotics. With a very stressful journey home from holiday. I then found I had picked up a tummy bug that resulted in yet another round of antibiotics.

 

 

 

Hospital Time

I spent two weeks in hospital while doctors worked to stabilise my symptoms. Eventually, a biologic infusion made a huge difference, and I now self‑inject every two weeks to stay in remission. I seemed to have developed an autoimmune condition called Ulcerative Colitis.

 

 

Back Home

When I came home from hospital, I used my usual shower gel — something I’d used for years without a second thought. My skin instantly turned bright red. It didn’t burn or itch, but it reacted. That moment changed everything. I wanted something gentler. Something I could trust. Something I knew every ingredient inside.

So I began making my own cold‑process soap

Simple, honest, cold‑process bars where I knew exactly what went into them. No mystery ingredients. No harsh additives. Just botanical's, natural clay's, and essential oils. I test every single bar I make — every recipe, every essential oil blend, every ingredient combination. 

If my skin goes red, that bar never enters my range.

 

The story continues

These soaps have been wonderful for me, but we’re all individual. Everyone’s skin is different, and what suits one person may not suit another. Cold‑process bars naturally sit at a higher pH — these bars are around 8-9 — which is perfectly normal for traditional soap but may not suit everyone, especially those who are very sensitive.

 

 

My promise is simply this

Every bar in my range has been made with care, tested with honesty, and created with the intention of being kind to skin that needs a little extra thought. Truequest Soap exists because of that journey — handmade, honest, and rooted in real experience.
