About Sop
Scents of Place (Sop) is a Norfolk-made bodycare brand, inspired by the local landscape and language. They are vegan and cruelty-free. Created by the NorβFolk.
Fair pay and good working conditions
Sop manufactures have been selected due to their aligned values. As well as being located in their home city, both have been in business for several decades. Their production runs are small batches and they use ethical and trusted suppliers. The manufacture of their bodycare is approved under the Cruelty-Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty-free products. They adhere to a fixed cut-off date policy and proactively monitor their suppliers to ensure that their products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Their manufacture supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.
