the oils that make the soap;

Coconut & Olive Oils are great base oils for making soap, most soap makers will use them as their go to oils We have also added Avocado oil, which is made from the fruit rather than the seed of the avocado. is full of great vitamins including A, B1, B2 & D. Avocado oil is a favourite for us as it is so good at hydrating and repairing damaged skin. Hemp Seed oil is a delicate oil and we take care to only warm the oil to the temperature required for saponification (that’s the term for turning the fatty acids into soap). Its full of Omega 3 & 6 and is another favourite of ours for use on skin. Aloe is well known for its calming and soothing qualities that has been used for healing burns and scars for centuries. The Aloe we use is an extract that is infused in yet more coconut oil adding yet more luxurious ingredients into the soap.

the essential oils;

Lavender - Lavandula Angustifolia Oil. If you can picture the beautiful fields with row upon row of lavender in Southern France then you can be pleased to know that this is exactly where the organic Lavender Essential Oil we use comes from. Lavender has a long history of being used in skincare and in the home. It sooths and heals the skin, promotes sleep and is a great antiseptic and is generally safe for all skin types.

Rosemary Oil - Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil. Steam distilled in North Africa from the woody stems of this famous aromatic herb. Rosemary Oil is known for its cleansing, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Rose Geranium Essential Oil - Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil. It is this oil that brings the floral scent to our soap. Our Rose Geranium Essential Oil has been steam distilled from the leaves, stalks and flowers of the geranium plant. We love that the whole plant is used to produce this cheerful oil that is balancing, reviving and uplifting.

A word on gylcerin:

during the soap making process glycerin is produced. Glycerin is commonly used in the cosmetic industry to moisturise the skin. In commercial soap making the glycerin may be removed from the soap - and then added into a hand lotion to use separately. In artisan soap making the glycerin is left. This results in a much more softening and moisturising bar of soap that is gentler and less drying on your skin. But, because glycerin is a humectant (draws water from the environment to itself) it means you will need to keep your handmade soap well drained to dry out between uses to keep it at its best and help it last.

a word on ethics:

the essentials oils (or any of their components) that we have chosen for use in our soaps have not been tested on animals by us or for us or by our ingredient suppliers.
