Soaps

All of my soaps are made using a base mixture of oils and butters consisting of sunflower oil, olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter. This combination creates a soap base which is nourishing and moisturizing for the skin; the cocoa butter and shea butter in particular are highly concentrated sources of fatty acids which help restore the skin barrier (a barrier of skin oils which keep the skin healthy and moisturized). To this soap base, I add different combinations of essential oils, dried botanicals, and other skin-loving ingredients to create soaps which not only have targeted healing properties, but also smell fantastic.

£4 each, each bar approximately 100g.
