Olivier Soapery

New Brunswick


If you're a market-goer, you've likely already seen Olivier Soap around New Brunswick. In their old-fashioned soap factory, you can sit on a wooden bench and see a batch of soap being made while learning about its history. The attached shop sells beautiful and often delicious-smelling wares. Check out the lobster-shaped butter soap, sage and clay or carrot soap.
