About Us – Our Story

Created by John and Iryna (Ira) Foster — two people who’ve spent decades chasing the same idea: that everyday bathing and dressing should feel a little more luxurious.

Where It Began

Long before Bubble & Style, John was the owner of Lesley Bath Products — once the largest bath bomb manufacturer in South Africa, supplying wholesale to most major retail outlets during the fizz ball craze of the late 1990s. If you ever dropped a fizzing bath bomb into your tub back then, there’s a good chance it was one of his.

It was around that time, on the sun-drenched coast of Simeiz, Crimea, that John met Ira — surrounded by the scent of wild rosemary growing along the cliffs. That fragrance stuck with him, and years later it became the starting point for one of our most-loved soaps.

Why We’re Back

After years away, we’ve decided to bring that same passion back to South Africa — starting with hand-crafted, natural soaps, made in small batches using ingredients we’re proud to put our name behind.

Our Approach to Natural

The world has a plastic problem, and too many bathing products are filled with chemicals that do more harm than good. We keep plastic packaging to the bare minimum, and wherever a product does require a chemical ingredient, we make sure it’s 100% safe and held to the highest standard.

Coming Soon

Alongside the soaps, watch for our foaming bath bags — a new-to-South-Africa product designed to turn an ordinary bath or shower into an occasion. And from Ira, a curated fashion accessory line, handpicked with the same eye for quality and style that’s defined this brand from the start.
