We are a small family run business committed to handmaking body products that are free from the "chemical - overload" we are exposed to everyday. We are passionate about our handmade soaps & bodycare and the beneficial reasons for using them. There is nothing quite like bathing with a quality soap that has been carefully and creatively handmade with the skin and environment in mind. 

We are closed for the last 2 weeks of July but will be open again at the beginning of August - any orders taken through July will be posted out the first week of August - happy holidays!

 We now have a new blog, please follow to see our new experiments and pictures of our travels.....

 We are now sponsors of the 'Borneo Orangutan Survival' and have adopted a baby Orangutan named 'Ruthie'...click on 'The problem with palm oil' page for more information! We donate every month to this appeal! 

Our soaps are made using the traditional cold processed method which retains all the goodness and the natural moisturiser - glycerine. Most commercial soaps have this lovely ingredient taken out which is why soap can be very drying on the skin. Our handmade soaps have no artificial ingredients and no unnecessary chemicals added to produce colour, fragrances, texture or added preservatives. We use fresh and natural ingredients such as pure essential oils, dried herbs and flowers, and a variety of specialty oils such as cocoa butter, jojoba oil, shea butter, and lots more. These are just a few of the lovelies we add to make our soaps special and kind!  We do not use PALM OIL, SLS, EDTA, PARABENS or any other nasty chemicals in our soaps. They are also suitable for vegetarians & vegans (except soaps that contain bee products & goat's milk). We are strongly opposed to animal testing or harming animals in any way. All of our soaps have been safety tested and comply with current EU legislation and regulations. Our soaps and products are made at home in our specially adapted workshop, based in Leicester (Midlands, UK).

As a small developing business one of our main aims includes finding sources that are environmentally friendly - we recycle as much as we can at home and for the business, we compost as much as we can, we use minimal packaging which can be recycled and we believe strongly in reusing wherever possible.  We use recycled papers, recycled boxes for the packaging of our gifts, and glass jars which can be recycled. We also try to buy as many ingredients as possible from local sources to support our local communities, such as Swithland spring water, honey & beeswax from a local beekeeper, and flour & corn products from a local mill.

Please Note - photographs & new products are being added on a regular basis. Weights are approximate - every bar is handcut and no two are identical. With the nature of handmade soap - the bars will continue to lose moisture over time, they must be kept in a dry ventilated area/package to allow them to breath. Colour & scent may vary/change over time due to the natural ingredients used within each soap. Prices & product range are subject to change.

All of our soaps are kind to the skin & the environment & arrive to you handwrapped in recycled paper.
