ABOUT OUR INGREDIENTS
We are a small soap company crafting nourishing goat milk and vegan coconut milk soaps, skincare and body care, suitable for people with delicate or sensitive skin.
Our aim is to keep it simple using natural plant-based ingredients and minimal packaging. The ingredients are carefully sourced from our garden, small local farmers and registered cosmetic suppliers, plus our soaps are never tested on animals and are free from palm oil.
MAIN INGREDIENTS:
COCONUT OIL is one of the key ingredients to our soaps and we use it to help make a hard bubbly soap bar, especially since we don’t use any palm oil. Coconut’s caprylic, capric, and lauric fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial helping to cleanse and remove dirt.
OLIVE OIL has been used in soap making for thousands of years, and is a wonderful addition making a very gentle soap. Olive oil is mild, has low lather and good moisturizing properties thus wonderful for people with extra sensitive skin. Our soaps contain a large portion of nourishing olive oil.
SHEA BUTTER is a thick rich butter obtained from the nuts of the African shea tree. It is widely used in soaps and cosmetics to provide deep moisturisation, anti-aging and healing benefits to the skin. Packed full of vitamins, the high level of cinnamic acid also gives shea butter a bit of natural sunscreen.
COCOA BUTTER is the creamy-yellow, edible vegetable fat which is pressed from the seeds of the cacao tree, the same tree used to make chocolate. It is great for healing and moisturising sensitive skin. It gives soap a very creamy lather and adds extra hardness which helps the natural bar soap last longer.
RAPESEED OIL is a beautiful, deep yellow nutty oil which is extremely moisturizing and contributes to creamy lather. The best part is it is locally grown and we use local cold-pressed varieties when possible. As well as this it’s a great source of Omega 3, 6, 9 and Vitamin E, which helps hydrate and protect the skin.
CASTOR OIL comes from pressing the seeds of the castor bean. It creates amazing lather in cold process soap and also helps draw moisture to the skin and hair, so it stays smooth.
GOAT MILK, the star attraction in our soaps, is responsibly sourced from a small local farm in Biddulph where the goats are part of the family and treated with respect and kindness. They are not fed any Bovaer and the milk is fully certified and RAW. Goat milk contains alpha-hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, vitamins and minerals. These acids help to gently remove dead skin cells from your skin’s surface, leaving a new softer skin.
COCONUT MILK, the plant-based alternative used in our vegan soaps, is high in Vitamin C and E, which is well regarded for bringing benefits to dry skin. Coconut Milk in soap is a great vegan alternative to goat milk and is also gentle on the skin and is perfect for people who suffer from eczema, delicate or dry skin. It is ultra-soothing, balancing and moisturising for irritated skin. We use organic coconut milk which does not contain any preservatives or additives.
OTHER ADDITIONS:
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL, made specifically for use in the food and cosmetic industry by steam activating coconut. Helpful for skin problems, especially oily skin, it gently exfoliates and absorbs toxins and dirt from clogged pores and helps reduce body odour. Our soap bars that have any black or grey coloration in them contain activated charcoal. Don’t worry as it does not stain your skin.
ALOE VERA has long been known as a miracle worker for skin and the benefits are almost endless. It moisturizes, helps treats sunburn and skin irritations, wounds, skin inflammation, and reduces scarring. We add Aloe Vera powder to some of our soaps for its silkiness and gentle benefits.
BEESWAX is sourced from local British beekeepers in raw, filtered form. Beeswax is also a natural emollient and humectant, meaning that it can protect the skin and lock in moisture; keeping it soft and hydrated with its high vitamin A content too.
CALENDULA is another one of the plants we use in our products. From the same species as marigolds, it is very calming to the skin, a powerful antioxidant and a strong anti-viral. Whereas most herbs and fruits eventually turn brown, calendula has the rare quality of retaining its bright sunny yellow colour ever after being dried.
CLAYS: ROSE CLAY, ILLITE CLAY, RED CLAY, KAOLIN WHITE CLAY, FRENCH GREEN: We use a variety of natural cosmetic clays in our soaps. These act as gentle detoxifiers and exfoliators as well as adding a silky feel and providing the soap bars with amazing natural colours.
