We choose to use only the finest, most high-quality oils & butters in our products, ensuring that they offer the most amazing benefits for the skin. We know the origin and production process for each.
Avocado Butter
Avocado butter is a wonderfully moisturising and nourishing semi soft butter, produced from avocado oil that is blended with a small amount of sunflower seed oil and an extra splash of vitamin E. Rich in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, it calms and protects as well as repairing and hydrating the skin.

Castor Oil
Castor oil is a humectant, meaning that it keeps the skin moisturised, soft and hydrated. In addition to this, it also provides a wonderfully rich creamy lather when used as an ingredient in soap.

Coconut Oil
Used by many a soap maker, including us! Coconut oil adds hardness to the bar, provides the most amazing cleansing properties and produces a bubbly lather. It is very hydrating and leaves the skin silky smooth.
INCI: Cocos Nucifera Oil Origin: Ghana
Distilled Water
Although all of the water in our soap is essentially evaporated naturally during the curing process, we choose to use distilled water as we want to offer the purest ingredients possible in our soaps.

Glycerin
Our soaps are handmade using the traditional cold process method, and glycerin is a naturally occurring by-product of saponification. Glycerin is very beneficial acting as a humectant that draws moisture to the skin, therefore possessing excellent emollient and moisturising properties. Most commercial soap has the glycerin removed, which is then bottled and sold on as a by-product, however we don’t remove it, we leave it in, just as nature intended.

Golden Jojoba Oil
Golden jojoba oil is cold pressed from the jojoba seed, and is a liquid wax ester rich in monounsaturated Omega-9 fatty acids and vitamin E. Its composition is the closest oil to the natural sebum produced in the skin. It was introduced to the industry, thankfully, to stop the production and use of sperm whale oil as it was found to have similar, if not better, properties. A lightweight oil that is highly absorbent, non-greasy and moisturising, it is said to reach the corneal layer of the skin via the follicle wall. It is an excellent emollient that is perfect for all ages and skin types.
INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil Origin: Israel
Olive Oil
A main ingredient in our soap, olive oil provides a soft gentleness. Produced from the olive fruit, not only is it rich in antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, olive oil leaves the skin incredibly soft moisturised, hydrated and nourished. It is hypoallergenic, causing no known side effects, and is suitable for use on all skin types and all ages.

Light and fresh with the natural aroma of raspberries, it is packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, high levels of Vitamin E, and is also anti-inflammatory. A fabulous emollient that absorbs beautifully into the skin. All of this plus being a zero-waste product, what's not to love!
