On my last visit to the Tiny Tapir headquarters during their open day, I was intrigued by a selection of handmade soaps for sale under the brand name – Soapy. As with all things sold by Tiny Tapir, the product is natural and eco-friendly. Best of all, Soapy is made right here in Malaysia!
I bought a small piece to try in Pandan Mint. The soap is handmade and natural with glycerin as its main ingredient. There are many flavours available but I opted for the soap infused with pandan (screwpine) and peppermint to refresh and invigorate.
When used in the shower, I found that the soap lathered up very easily. Just a few rubs between your wet palms will create a rich lather. The smell of pandan for those who are familiar with it, is not only refreshing but delicious too! The peppermint was very subtle but it left a very faint tingling cool feel on the skin. Invigorating indeed! The nice thing is that the skin does not feel dry after showering.
I bought a little bar for RM2 to test and I think I’m going back for the full sized version (100g) which retails for RM13 each – pricey for a bar of soap but not pricey when compared to shower creams or gels that finish up faster. The little bar of Soapy soap I bought lasted quite long with regular use – approx 3 weeks. Best of all, it makes a perfect travel partner because it is a little bar of soap and therefore not subject to the 100ml rule on airlines! 🙂 One little bar is enough to last you a few trips – just leave it to dry overnight before packing it away; and the Pandan Mint is lovely and refreshing after a long day of travel or walking. I would love it even better if they could be like Lush and create a solid shampoo – that’ll take care of my packing woes for good!
Here are the ingredients in this Soapy soap : Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Pandan Juice, Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil

@Connie : I only saw the Pandan Mint trial sizes so I’m not sure if they have the others. Do drop by – they are nice to deal with.
Does this brand have a website?? You can let me know on my blog, in the tagbox or in a comment or something. I’m interested!!
@Kaylin Marie : Try Tiny Tapir. They ship internationally.
I saw from Tiny Tapir’s webbie that they only open upon request :-/ so i can’t really “drop by” can I?
@Connie : They are now open Monday-Saturday 11am-6pm. I guess they haven’t updated their site. Try giving them a call – someone should be there.
Hi Paris,
Thank you for your kind review on Soapy Pandan Mint soap. We have link this article to our website under “About Us”.
Connie: Hi, thank you for your interest in our soap. I like to confirm that we did not receive your email. You may get the cocoa butter soap from Tiny Tapir.
To all who are interested with Soapy Soaps, thank you. Kindly get in touch with Tiny Tapir for more details.
@Dylis : Thanks for dropping by and for your link! 🙂
Pandan mint! Sounds very kueh-kueh! 😉 The name is adorable too.
Hee hee, a very apt name indeed, and very cheap too!
Hmm I wonder if I could make my own soaps here and call it “Sabun” …
I went to the website and check out the soaps. Wah…the packaging so old fashion? Should have repackaged it nicely and market it altogether. Anybody use before? Hows the effect? I know there’s another company selling this in KL. Dont know about the quality though.
Just a note on Soapy Soaps packaging – it’s very minimalistic, yes, but we like it because Dylis uses biodegradeable plastic film to package the soaps 🙂 much better for the environment too..
