It’s what we leave out of our soap that makes it different, and what we put in that makes it special!

We do not use any chemical soap detergents or foaming agents, by-products of the petroleum industry or animal fats in our soap. Our natural soaps are made from carefully balanced formulas of oils, fats and butters to provide the perfect amount of lather and gently clean without stripping the skin’s own natural oils.

A great many fantastic claims are made about soap these days. The most popular is to claim that a soap can be moisturising. It can’t! The cleansing action of soap comes from it molecular structure… ‘a water loving tail’ and an ‘oil loving head’. When we use soap on our skin the oil-loving end bonds with grime and grease while the water-loving end combines with the water and so the dirt is washed away. Soap is seldom left on the skin for more than a few seconds, it certainly does not stay long enough to be absorbed and therefore any pretence of moisturising qualities is simply fantasy.

It is our aim to produce high quality soap that cleans in the gentlest way so that your skin does not feel taut and dry afterwards. To do this we use the most appropriate ingredients that we can find. We believe that to choose solely organic plant oils and butters is to miss the point entirely. Some of our soap ingredients are organic but it is a curious fact that some of the finest organic ingredients do not make good soap. And it is most satisfying from a waste not, want not point of view, that some natural ingredients are suited to nothing else but making soap. Like the final pressing of the olive for example… not the tastiest of salad dressings but the creamiest, gentle castile soap of them all!

Our hand-made soaps are a unique experience - Feel the difference.

Each stage of the soap making process is done entirely by hand, from the weighing of the raw ingredients to the final wrapping. No two bars are ever exactly the same.
