5.0 (66)

Hello, I’m Paula Mateo and I'm an artisan soap, skincare and home fragrance maker. I'm passionate about all things natural and nurturing, which is why I started Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co and started selling my lovingly made creations in 2014. Since then, my small business has gone from strength to strength.
I love sharing my passion for soap and candle making with my courses. I experience real joy and a sense of pride when I inspire others to create their own products, designed to care for their body, mind and soul.
I have tutored hundreds of students in both group and bespoke one-to-one courses. Whether you want to come along and learn just for fun or because you are serious about starting your own brand, I can take you by the hand through the process.
