Wonderful, moisturising natural soaps that make you and your skin feel good! We make these soaps in rural Scotland with ingredients that are as natural and pure as we can get and are of the finest quality. Sometimes the herbs we use will be from our own garden. There are no synthetic ingredients in our soaps, all of which are handmade in small batches.
Recipes for our soaps have taken a long time to design and perfect, to ensure their quality and safety. We use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil and organic sustainable Palm oil as our base and to this we add enriching and moisturising oils and butters such as Avocado Oil, Mango Butter and Shea Butter. We also add herbs, clays and spices for colouring and texture and essential oils for fragrance and for their amazing therapeutic properties.
None of our soaps contain animal fats or are tested on animals - other than the
human variety! All are suitable for vegetarian use and most are suitable for vegans. (Did you know that
many well-known commercial soaps use animal fats, listed as 'Sodium tallowate' on the label?)
We make our soaps using the traditional cold process method in The Washhouse - overlooking our herb garden - in small batches and on a regular basis.
Current European Cosmetic legislation requires that all recipes are certified as safe by an analytical chemist. Also, labels must show a full ingredient listing, the weight of the soap and sufficient information for the soap to be traced back to the company who made it. All our recipes and our labels comply with this legislation.
