FULL INGREDIENTS

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a cold-pressed fruit oil, rich in vitamins A and D and E.  It is renowned for its effective moisturising benefits, helping our skin to stay smooth and supple.   It is thought to be a powerful antioxidant, protecting against outside elements.

Coconut Oil is anti-bacterial and brings good cleansing properties to the skin.  It adds a luscious rich lather to handmade soaps whilst improving hydration.  Coconut oil is known to provide light moisturising qualities to improve the softness of the skin.   It is thought to help in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, acne and insect bites due to its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Palm Oil has been used for over 100 years in the making of soap and we like the durability that it brings to our bar of soap.  Our palm oil is fully traceable to a farm in Columbia.

Wheat Germ Oil is thought to be one of nature’s best sources of vitamin E.  It has effective healing and conditioning properties, which help to rejuvenate the skin.

Lavender Essential Oil has been used for centuries, for its medicinal properties. It is beneficial in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and acne, burns and insect bites due to its powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender is thought to help to stimulate cellular growth to rejuvenate the skin and is one of the few essential oils that can be applied directly.   It has a distinct floral aroma, which is thought to have a positive effect on the nervous system, helping to induce sleep and aid relaxation.

Clary Sage Essential Oil has been used since Greek times and has many positive emotional effects.  It is thought to promote feelings of well-being and happiness as well as helping to relieve nervous tension.   Its complex scent has been described as being woody, nutty, herby, spicy and earthy and is an absolute gift to the perfumer.  It should be avoided in pregnancy as it is thought to bring on labour.
