An extract from the leaf of the aloe vera plant. Well regarded for it's soothing and healing properties. It's particulary gentle and kind to the skin.

Distilled water

An organic and naturally occuring alcohol found in lots of fruits and proxy. It functions as a preservative stopping bacteria from forming.

Found in lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits. It's used to balance the PH levels in our skincare products.

Cocoa Butter is a vegetable fat that we use in small quantities in our soap recipes. Cocoa butter is very hard at room temperature, with a waxy texture.
​
Cocoa Butter helps to give a firmness to the soap bars that we create. Cocoa Butter does not produce much of a lather on its own, which is why we use it in small amounts. When combined with our other ingredients it forms part of a bar that is nice and firm but also lathers and cleans well.

Derived from coconuts, it's one of the main base ingredients in our soaps giving them their lovely foaming abilities.

Coconut Oil is incredibly cleansing, which is primarily why we use it in our soaps. It also adds a fantastic lather to all our bars and helps to add firmness too.
​
Because it is such a good cleanser, Coconut Oil can sometimes be drying to the skin. We combat this by not using too much in our recipes and by combining it with other oils and butters that are known to moisturise and keep skin soft.
​
We really love the bubbly lather that Coconut Oil adds to all of our bars. As the Coconut is not technically classed as a nut, people with nut allergies should be able to use products containing Coconut Oil - but it is always best to check this with a health professional first.

Some of our soap bars use a variety of different essential oils. Essential oils are natural ingredients and the essential oils we use are all 100% pure and distilled through the steam distillation method. They give a subtle yet beautiful scent to our range of soaps.

Our glycerin comes from coconut oil and is fromed naturally during the soap making process. It's a really effective emollient, helping the skin retain mositure.

Lard is gentle and moisturizing because its fatty acid profile is the most similar to the sebum produced in our skin. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, and E. Lard-based soaps gently cleanse, moisturize, and produce a creamy, silky lather.

Exquisite Moroccan Rhassoul clay(aka Red Clay) is a naturally occurring clay that has been in use for centuries. It is very rich in naturally occurring minerals and is an exceptional ingredient in skin and hair care products.

“Rhassoul” derives from the Arabic word for washing, “Rhassala.” It has been highly regarded for its incomparable ability to absorb impurities from the skin and hair while imparting highly beneficial and readily absorbed minerals.

According to findings from various studies, Moroccan Red Clay has been shown to lessen dryness, enhance skin clarity/elasticity and have extractive abilities (It removes surface oil and oil from inside and around clogged hair follicles) that confiscate impurities and unblock pores (even stubborn blackheads) resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin.

With aging comes natural mineral depletion from your skin, Rhassoul clay is very rich in minerals such as Magnesium 25%, Sodium2.3%, Calcium 2.34%, Aluminum 2.47%, Silica 58% and Iron 0.64%. Moroccan Rhassoul clay hence is very vital in replenishing the depleted stores of these minerals which are responsible multiple skin benefits.

We use this to fragrance our products.

A really nourishing oil full of vitamin A & E. It soothes skin and is often used for its anti-ageing, toning and firming properties.

Castor Oil is a very thick, sticky oil and because of this it is the oil that we use the least of in our soap recipes. If we were to use too much it would result in a sticky soap, that would not feel good on the skin. It's an excellent anti-oxident and contains compounds which help fight effects of aging.
​
In the small amounts that we use it in, Castor Oil is great at adding a rich, creamy lather to our soaps and for helping our other oils and butters to lather well.
​
Castor Oil is a humectant, which means that it attracts moisture to the skin. This helps to ensure that our bars are as moisturising as they can possibly be, while also performing well as cleansers.

Shea Butter is made by cold pressing the seeds of the Karite tree. At room temperature it is softer than Cocoa Butter.
​
Shea Butter is similar to Cocoa Butter in that when used alone, it does not contribute much in terms of creating a lather in soap. It is, however, great at conditioning the skin as well as adding a little hardness to the finished soap bars.
​​
We have chosen to use Shea Butter in our soaps as we believe the skin conditioning properties that it adds are fantastic.

Italian Olive Oil is the oil that we use in the highest quantities in our soap bars. It really is the number one oil for us!
​
When used in soap making, Olive Oil adds many important qualities to the soap. It is an incredibly moisturising oil and helps to ensure that your skin feels soft and conditioned after using one of our soap bars.
​
Olive oil also adds firmness to our soap bars, ensuring that they won't be used up too quickly. It is an incredibly mild ingredient and can be used by almost everyone, including babies and those who suffer with sensitive skin.
​
Soaps made with Olive Oil do remain soft for a long time after making and if used to soon they can wash away quicker. For this reason, all of our soaps are cured for at least 4 weeks before we package them ready for selling. This ensures that you receive a perfectly cured, firm bar all ready to be used immediately.
