All of our products are cosmetic safety assessed by a registered Cosmetic Safety Assessor. We hold full public liability and craft insurance. We have been independently verified by the the Guild of Craft Soap and Toiletry Makers. The guild has the mission to “raise awareness of legislation relating to craft soap and toiletry making and to increase industry compliance.”

When purchasing soap, toiletries, and cosmetics from other sellers; ask if each product is certified. This is a legal requirement for cosmetic sales in the UK and Europe.

We are proud to be certified Animal Cruelty Free by PETA under the Beauty Without Bunnies programme

We use Hermes and Royal Mail for the majority of our orders, although we may choose to use alternative carriers depending on order requirements. Please see the Hermes policy for items lost in transit, and the Royal Mail policy for items lost or delayed in the post. If we have sent your order via Royal Mail then please check with your local Royal Mail Delivery Office to ensure a delivery attempt has not already been made (although you should have received a “Something for you” card). We will only be able to pursue a lost item claim with Royal Mail after 15 working days has elapsed since posting.

The business was born out of a desire to find scented products that would be kind to my sensitive skin.

I started making traditional soap for myself four years ago and I am now an experienced soap maker. Soap making quickly grew into a real passion and I longed to be able to share my products with others.

As a former scientific researcher, I use my knowledge and experience to formulate unique recipes that not only look good, but function
effectively. I have won international awards for my artistic soap design.

We are also proud to be certified Animal Cruelty Free by PETA under the Beauty Without Bunnies programme.

The chemical reaction involved in the process of turning natural oils into traditional soap is called saponification.

All of our soap is produced by experienced Saponista’s (soapmakers) just like an artisan barista makes an amazing coffee.
