Since retiring from Starlite Soap Studio, we’ve traded our workshops for backpacks and have been travelling the world—currently exploring Southeast Asia 🌏

We’ve set up a new page to share what this next chapter actually looks like:
👉 Away with Ian & Alain

If you’d like to follow along and see what we’re up to these days, we’d love it if you gave the page a like.

Thanks for being part of our journey—past and present. It truly means a lot ❤️

Two Canadians. Two backpacks.
One slightly irresponsible early retirement plan.

A Fond Farewell from Starlite Soap Studio

As of July 31, 2025, Starlite Soap Studio has officially closed its doors. It has been our absolute joy to share creativity, laughter, and community with you over the years—thank you for being part of our story.

Wychbury Ave Soap & Gifts has now moved into our former location, but they are a separate business and not affiliated with Starlite.

Please note: Starlite gift cards and Starlite Rewards are no longer valid.

As we head into retirement and set off to travel the world, we’ll carry the memories of every workshop, every laugh, and every warm connection with us.

With gratitude,
Alain & Ian

✨ A Fond Farewell ✨

Starlite Soap Studio is now officially closed as Ian and I step into retirement. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so grateful for your support over the years.

But this isn’t goodbye — the studio will soon reopen under new ownership as Wychbury Ave, offering creative workshops and more! Please join us in supporting the amazing Melissa as she brings new energy and vision to the space. 🌿🕯️

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts.
– Ian & Alain

Do you have a Starlite gift card?
Make sure to redeem it by July 31, 2025—our final soap-making workshop dates must also conclude before then! After that date, the location becomes Wychbury Ave Soap & Gifts, and Starlite gift cards will no longer be accepted.

In BC, gift cards can’t expire by law, but a business ownership change means old cards are no longer honoured.

Don’t miss out—use your card at one of our final workshops or in-store before the deadline to enjoy its full value.

Thank you for years of sudsy support!
