The Story Behind Our Natural Ingredients

Every ingredient we choose has a purpose.

Have you ever picked up a skincare product, glanced at the ingredients list and wondered what all those names actually mean? You're certainly not alone.

We believe you should know exactly what you're putting on your skin. That's why we're passionate about using carefully selected natural ingredients, each chosen for the unique qualities it brings to our products.  From the rich lather in our handmade soaps to the silky texture of our body butters and the smooth glide of our deodorants, every ingredient has an important role to play.  It's not about adding lots of ingredients for the sake of it, it's about choosing the right ones.

Nature Knows Best

For centuries, people have used plant oils, butters and waxes to care for their skin.  Many of these ingredients have stood the test of time because they simply work.  Rather than relying on unnecessary additives, we combine natural ingredients that complement one another, creating products that are effective, gentle and inspired by nature. Some ingredients cleanse. Some nourish. Some protect. Some help create that lovely creamy lather we all enjoy.

Together, they help create products we're proud to make and you can feel good about using.

Every Ingredient Has a Job

When we create a new product, we don't simply pick ingredients because they're popular. Every ingredient earns its place. Take our handmade soaps, for example. One oil helps create beautiful bubbles. Another makes the bar harder so it lasts longer. Another adds creaminess to the lather. Others help leave your skin feeling soft and conditioned after every wash. It's the balance of these ingredients that makes all the difference. The same is true across our whole range. Every recipe is carefully considered so that each ingredient contributes something valuable to the finished product.

Meet Some of Our Favourite Ingredients

🥥 Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of the hardest working ingredients we use.

In our soaps, it creates the rich bubbly lather that helps lift away dirt and oils. In our deodorants, it's included for its natural antibacterial properties, helping to support freshness throughout the day.

🫒 Olive Oil

Olive oil has been used in traditional soap making for hundreds of years. We love it because it helps create a gentle, creamy soap that's kind to the skin while producing a beautifully mild lather. It's one of the ingredients that helps make our soaps feel so luxurious to use.

🌰 Shea Butter

If there was one ingredient that perfectly sums up nourishment, it would probably be shea butter. Its wonderfully rich texture makes it a favourite in our soaps, body butters and foot balms, where it helps leave skin feeling soft, smooth and cared for.

🍫 Cocoa Butter

Rich, creamy and wonderfully moisturising, cocoa butter helps create products that feel luxurious every time you use them. It's one of the ingredients we love including in our body butters, lip balms and soaps.

🥭 Mango Butter

Mango butter has a beautifully lightweight feel, making it perfect for products that need to glide effortlessly onto the skin. That's why you'll find it in our deodorants and body butters.

More Than Just Oils

Although oils and butters form the heart of many of our products, they're only part of the story. We also carefully choose natural waxes, botanical oils and plant extracts to give each product the qualities we're looking for. Whether it's beeswax helping to protect dry skin, calendula oil providing soothing care or lightweight facial oils helping nourish delicate skin, every ingredient has been chosen with care.
