How a bar is made

शनैः शनैः

Whatever is made slowly and naturally is the best.

The Cold-Process Craft

The traditional way: oils and butters become soap slowly, at a gentle temperature, then are cut and rested by hand.

  1. Blend
    1

    Blend

    Oils and butters are blended with lye until they begin to turn into soap.

  2. Pour

    The bars rest on open racks for four weeks, so they harden and mature before packing.

A family legacy

A legacy in soap. A new ritual in beauty.

SetRite begins with a family that has made soap for generations. Today the family chooses and presents a collection of cold-process bars, handcrafted in small batches with a partner artisan studio in Maharashtra.

  1. 1952

    Ramesh Sewak is born into a family in soap manufacturing, associated with the Multani Soap Factory, and spends his life learning the craft.

  2. 2004

    His son, Abhhishek Sewak, joins him. Together they look beyond everyday cleansing, towards soap, skin and the knowledge of traditional India.

  3. Today

    SetRite brings that heritage to a new bathing ritual: cold-process bars chosen by the family and handcrafted with our partner studio.

From our first guests

Voices of the Ritual

  • My skin used to feel tight after a bath. With Ojas, I love my bath time, and the time after it as well. It connects me to nature, and to being nature.

    Shivalika Oberoi, Mumbai

    Ojas

  • I have never had such a great experience in and after the shower. The change in the tone and texture of my skin is noticeable.

    Rahima Malhotra, Gurugram

    Suvarna

Ancient wisdom, lived daily.

SetRite is the family's selection of cold-process soaps. We choose each bar for its scent and character, and have it handcrafted in small batches with an artisan partner studio in Maharashtra.

Questions, answered

Can't find what you need? Write to us from the Contact page.

What is cold-process soap?

Cold-process soap is made by blending oils and butters with lye, which turns them into soap. The mixture is poured into a mould, cut by hand and cured for four weeks before it is packed. We make our bars this way, in small batches.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Every skin is different, so we can't promise that any bar will suit everyone. Our bars are scented, so if your skin is sensitive, please patch test first: lather a little on your inner arm, rinse, and wait a day. The full ingredient list is on every product page.

How long does a bar last?

That depends on how often you use it. Keep the bar on a draining soap dish between uses, so it stays firm and lasts longer.

Do you ship across India?

Yes. Delivery times and charges are in our shipping policy.

Can I return a bar?

If a bar arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, write to us from the Contact page within 7 days with your order number and a photo, and we'll put it right.
