What goes into our soap?
In addition to loving care, there are lots of wonderful ingredients that go into each bar of soap. Here's some background on what gives our soap such character.
Soap Base
Oils and Butters
We use organic plant derived oils and butters in all of our recipes, including the luxurious options of cocoa butter, shea butter, hemp seed oil and sweat almond oil. Read more about these base ingredients here...
Fragrance
Blended perfumes or essential oils
Having developed our Original Collection using only essential oils, I have since introduced a range using perfume oils.

Colours
Clays, plant extracts, minerals and pigments
Natural clays come in a range of colours and produce gentle hues in cold process soap.
I also find it fun to use certain plant extracts and also cosmetic grade minerals and pigments in some recipes.
