It can take up to six weeks for our soap to cure. We try to anticipate what will be needed 6 weeks from now. We are a small family run business, we are not able to guarantee a shipping time. It usually takes 5-6 days, but it can take as long as 4 weeks. We have to work on a first come basis. We use organically grown ingredients and organic soap. We cannot just order some more soap we must spend time making it. If you wish to cancel your order just email getagurusoap@aol.com anytime before shipping. If you do a charge back you will be responsible for all administration costs. It’s not necessary so please don’t do it. Just email us and we will cancel, it’s that simple. Once our handmade products have been shipped we are not able to take returns as we will not resale soap that has been outside our quality control. All products will differ as they are all unique and not mass produced. By ordering anything from this site you agree to these terms. Thank you for helping us keep our products inexpensive and affordable.
I bought some soap that was made with oatmeal and olive oil. Do ou still make it and can I order it?
Yes, it’s still one of our most popular. Its called “oatmeal and goats milk” Check out our soap page
I love the Clary Sage Lemongrass! It removes all musk/odors and leaves the skin so fresh and moisturized. Also, the scented soap aroma lasts well on skin.
While we no longer live in the Tampa Bay area, we do visit your store and purchase your products at every visit. I would like to inquire about your “Dead Sea Mud” which I don’t see on your website. My wife uses it and swears by it’s quality and result. Is this product still available and can we have some sent to Seattle?
Oops…. we do very much still do dead sea mud. I have been in the U.K and fallen behind with my web maintenance. I will get it back on line as soon as I get a chance and set up an order page. Meanwhile you may order via phone 727 937 8193. Thanks for pointing this out and helping me notice that we have about 50 products that are not on the website. I had better get my camera out and get to work before my wife notices. sincerely Russell Oakley.
I routinely buy a Carrot and something soap. Don’t you have that anymore?
Good question. We have discontinued carrot soap and I am mad about it. I love carrots and I love them in my soap. Unfortunately it seems that most people don’t appreciate the subtle smell and we do not sell enough to produce a batch. As business picks up in the future carrot is on my list to bring back. I wish I could bring it back right now and send you some. Since pure carrot oil is really expensive and really good for your skin we hope to launch an all natural organic moisturizer in its place. Best wishes. All at
GetaGuru.
Last year I recall being able to order body creams and lip balms, are you still making them?
yes we still make them eleni makes them and adjusts the recipe all the time making it difficult to list online. They also sell out fast. I try to tell her to be more consistent so we could list them on the web but she shouts at me. She has promised to make larger and more consistent batch so we can put them online in the future…..we shall see. thanks for your interest in Getaguru and I hope you are able to drop in and visit us.
I recently relocated to St. Petersburg Florida from Manhattan. I always heard about the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs so I went to check it out. It’s full of pushy Greek people literally harassing you and pushing you into their trashy little shops with factory made garbage soaps and dried out sponges that are left out in the 100 degree florida heat to die. Then I came across Getaguru. Your store stands out from the rest. It looks like a very artsy East Village type of shop which intrigued me to go inside plus nobody was standing outside harassing me to go in. I was so pleased to see REAL all natural olive oil soaps In different varieties. My favorites are lemon verbena, rose, patchouli, and of course the goats milk. Your shop is ten times better and way cheaper than going to LUSH, Whole Foods, or Earth Origins. Every month I drive up to Tarpon Springs to stock up on my favorite soaps. All I have to say is THANK YOU for not being pushy. Even when I’m looking at the soap there is nobody yelling at me about what I should buy and how many to buy. You’re business is a class act and it is the only shop in Tarpon Springs that I will use my money at.
I would like to pick up six bars of rose soap on the 14th of December rather than pay for shipping?
Of course you can, just call ahead to make sure we have them in stock Marcia.
I have been buying your soap religiously for about 6 or 7 years now and have converted at least 3 other people to your soap. There is nothing like it anywhere else and no matter where I have bought before, yours is head and shoulders above the rest. What do you do that is so different? Are you magic?
Well thank you for your kind words and we are pleased you enjoy our soap. We have a magic formula which is genuine pure ingredients with absolutely no short cuts or additives. Just like cooking, good quality ingredients make a good meal. Best wishes, all at getaguru.
I would like to purchase some Black Soap : Black soap from Ghana, west Africa
Made from the Ash of plants and Barks from Plantain, cocoa pods, palm leaves and shea tree bark. Sun dried with all natural organic oils such as Palm, coconut and shea butter. As you would expect from Get a Guru this is a totally organic natural way to enhance the health and quality of your skin.
My friend brought some back to kc with her and gifted me and I am in love . also the salt scrub is amazing I would like to order a couple jars of it as well. looking for cost and shipping info
thanks
necia
At the moment the products you mention are only available from our store or by phone order. Sorry for any inconvenience.
several years ago I purchased patchuli/cinnamon soap. The best I have ever used, and the smell was hevenly. Do you think you may be making it again. I would be tempted to buy the whole batch.
I bought a few bars of a soap for cellulite a almost 2 years ago when I went On Vacation to Florida. I loved it, how ever I don’t see it on your website and was wondering if it was still available? I live in Illinois and don’t really wish to wait til next year to go back to Florida and look for it haha
I’m interested in the Sandlewood beeswax balm/lotion. Will this be available anytime soon? (August 21st, 2014)
Me and my mom made a trip down to FL. However, I went to Fort Lauderdale and she went to Clear Water. She bought me the Tea Tree soap for my razor burn on my neck. It has helped some, but I have very stubborn skin. So I would have to say strengthen up the tea tree and make more potent or at least leave an option for extra strength.
If the tea tree works well for you we recommend that you purchase some 100% pure essential oil to add to your skin as you wash with the soap. That way you can get the perfect strength for you. Make sure its pure essential oil. We sell this on this website or in the store. Seasons greetings from GetaGuru
I love your soap and have been using it for 10 years or so. Do you still have the rosemary soap and the Rose geranium? I have also given lots of bars as gifts. I enjoy visiting the store when I’m in Florida.
We have changed the rosemary soap to rosemary mint and eucalyptus. It is a really popular blend of scents that really compliment each other.
Hi, we’ll be visiting the amazing Get a Guru shop again in mid December! We’ve been visiting the Docks for the past 8 years and never miss an opportunity to purchase your wonderful soaps to bring home to PA for ourselves, friends and family. Do you think you’ll have Ginger & Bergamot, Clove & Orange, Basil & Anise available around Dec.11 /12 ?
Any new scents I should be getting excited for?
See you soon!
This is shaping up to be a really busy year. eleni is getting carried away with introducing all kinds of new scents and products. We are making a lot of one off batches that have all been very popular and will join our full time list of products. We look fwd to seeing you. Seasons greetings from GetaGuru.
Best Soap on the planet. They’ve lost some scents geared toward men, but whocares. Soap is very good for the skin. Read the descriptions. We all have Summer and Winter skin and these soaps combact those effects. Paired with my facial routine skin never looked better. Now if they could find a way to make a fat reducing olive oil soap.. BAM!!!! They’re in the money. Get a Soap Scrubber. Best and easiest way to exfoliate daily before morning and evening lotion. Dermatologist recommends the soap as well. Less harsh and very effective on rashes, excema and breakouts. Only guy i know with clear back my age and size!! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!!! Can you look into making diffuser oil for Catalytic lamps. Kirkland no longer sells there oils. Now I got 3 lamps and no oil. DANG IT!!!
Your soap is my very favorite and I’ve been using it for years. Any chance you could make a batch of Cassia Patchouli if I bought a large quantity? I saw someone else requesting it in the comments. I live in NJ but any time I’m in the Sponge Docks I always stop buy and stock up. I have very sensitive skin and your soap has never irritated or dried out my skin and it smells heavenly! Using a bar of lavender now but I will be Getaguru-less soon!
I live in the UK and tried some of your black soap after visiting your store in Terpin Springs and am fully in love with it. I’m now back in the UK and trying desperately to saver my last bit of soap. Is there anywhere or anyway I can your black soap in the UK? I can’t speak more highly of this soap, it works amazingly for the whole family.
