Our promise to you
We’ll never sell you perfection. We’ll never retouch your
reality or our photos. We’ll never pretend that some soap, balm or even herbs
alone will erase every bump, scar, skin condition or story your skin carries.
Our website will look a bit naff (we’re doing it ourselves)
Our photos will be a bit crap (we take them ourselves)
Our soaps and balms aren’t pretty (we make them by hand in
small batches)
We don’t use Palm Oil. End of.
We don’t use artificial fragrances/colours or dodgy
chemicals like SLS or Parabens.
But we will keep making products that support your
skin.
