Thistle Soaps - Natural Handmade Soaps from Rural Scotland

SUMMER CLOSING

Please note that Thistle Soaps are now CLOSED
until Tuesday 10th August. We shall of course be happy
to accept orders while we are closed, but they will not be processed
until after we re-open.

We make wonderful soaps!

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, wild-grown Shea Butter, and golden Extra Virgin Rapeseed oil from Perthshire. 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.

Buying our Soaps

We use Paypal to process our on-line payments. This does not mean that you have to be a Paypal member; anyone can make payments through Paypal using their usual credit and debit cards.

If you wish to order by post rather than on-line, we are happy to accept cheques drawn on UK clearing banks - we regret that due to high bank charges, we are unable to accpt cheques drawn on foreign banks.

We attend the following Farmers Markets:

Forfar Farmers Market, The Myre, Forfar,second Saturday of each month, 9am - 1pm; and
Dundee Farmers Market, High Street, Dundee, third Saturday of each month, 9am - 4pm.

A wide range of our soaps is available for sale at The Courtyard, Peel Farm, Lintrathen, and at many shops throughout the UK. If your local shop doesn't stock our soaps, please suggest to them that they should!
