5 reasons to choose handmade natural soap over mass produced bars

1. Pure, Natural Ingredients

Handmade soaps like ours are made from natural oils, butters, and additives—without the harsh synthetic chemicals found in many mass-produced bars. This makes them gentler on your skin, avoiding dryness and irritation caused by artificial ingredients.

Some of the oils we include in our soaps olive oil and apricot kernel oil, both of which bring incredible benefits to your skin. Olive oil deeply hydrates, soothes irritation, and protects against aging with its antioxidant-rich properties. Meanwhile, apricot kernel oil offers lightweight hydration, improves skin tone, and supports collagen production.

2. Herbs and Botanicals

Herbs not only enhance the scent and appearance but also bring unique benefits:

• Lavender: Known for its calming properties, lavender can soothe irritation and promote relaxation.

• Chamomile: Gentle on sensitive skin, it helps reduce redness and inflammation.

• Calendula: Packed with antioxidants, calendula supports healing and is ideal for dry skin.

• Mint: Refreshing and invigorating, mint helps cool and cleanse the skin.

3. Luxurious Butters for Deep Moisturisation

Our handmade soaps include rich, nourishing kokum butter, which deeply moisturises and repairs the skin. Kokum butter stands out for its lightweight texture, making it perfect for people who want hydration without greasiness. It helps restore elasticity, promotes regeneration, and provides anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe and rejuvenate your skin.  Plus it's non-comedogenic ensuring hydration without the dreaded clogged pores.

4. Environmentally Friendly

Plastic bottles? Nah, that's not for us. A simple bar of soap that can sit proudly in a soap dish in the shower is more our thing. No unnecessary packaging and certainly no plastic waste that needs chucking in the recycling. Our soaps are designed with both your skin and the planet in mind—practical, eco-friendly, and handcrafted with care.

All our soaps and skincare products are made right here in the Brecon Beacons (that's the stunning, hilly bit in Mid/South Wales) using natural, biodegradable ingredients. Every batch is produced with sustainability at its core, ensuring our process minimizes environmental impact.

By choosing handmade soap, you're saying goodbye to plastic pollution and hello to a greener future. No mass production, no harmful chemicals—just pure, nourishing soap that reflects the beauty of the Beacons and respects the planet we all share.

5. Better for Your Skin's Health

Our handmade soaps aren’t just soaps—they’re little bars of brilliance for your skin! Free from artificial additives, free from SLS, free from parabens and packed with nourishing natural oils, these bars go above and beyond to hydrate and pamper. They’re brimming with glycerin, a natural humectant that locks in moisture (unlike those mass-produced bars that rob your skin of all its goodness).

Add in powerhouse ingredients like olive oil, kokum butter, and apricot kernel oil, and you’ve got a soap that’s more than just cleansing—it’s nurturing. Olive oil soothes and hydrates, kokum butter works its magic with deep, lightweight moisture, and apricot kernel oil keeps things soft and smooth without clogging pores.

Switching to handmade soap isn’t just about your skin; it’s about making a lifestyle shift. It means supporting small UK business, embracing nature, and treating yourself to a touch of everyday luxury.

Whether you’re chasing hydration, healing, or a moment of indulgence, our handmade soaps infused with natural oils and herbs have you covered—literally!
