We're Palm Oil free - and staying that way
No compromise. No rainforest wrecking. Just proper soap and skincare

Handmade in the Brecon Beacons (That’s Proper Wild Mid Wales).
Not mass-produced. Just hand-stirred, hand-poured and packed - right here

For skin that sees sweat, weather and grit
Whether you run trails, swim wild, cycle hills or graft on the land — this stuff gets it.

Smells Like Nature. Works Like Magic
We use actual herbs — not marketing fluff — because cracked hands and sore skin deserve better
Soaps
Soaps crafted for real skin, real life.
Handmade in small batches on our small Welsh farm, they’re crafted with skin-loving oils, plant butters, and essential oils—no palm oil, no synthetic fragrances and no fake colours. Just solid (some say they're chunky) bars of soap that clean you up and nourish your skin.

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.
