We started making soap for our family when our daughter developed a mild form of eczema that was made worse by commercially-produced soaps and washes. We spent months researching, and tried out loads of different recipes and combinations to find the ones that work for our daughter\u2019s skin \u2013 and for us too.<\/p>\n

We settled on a combination of high quality ingredients, unfussy essential oil blends, and a slow soap-making process that is as close to the ancient traditional methods as possible. There\u2019s nothing else added: no preservatives, no artificial colourants, no synthetic fragrances and no additional heat to speed things up. It\u2019s just proper soap that has been given up to six weeks to fully cure.<\/p>\n

\nThe best things take time, and proper soap is worth waiting for. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What started out as a necessity and family hobby quickly grew into a mini production line in our kitchen as friends and family started coming back for more. When they began \u201cpreordering\u201d before batches had cured, we knew we\u2019d hit onto something special that we couldn\u2019t keep to ourselves anymore.<\/p>\n

Since then we\u2019ve had our soap recipes certified and we have introduced new combinations specifically targeted at problematic skin. We have also just launched our brand new BABY SOAP – an amazing blend of ingredients that has been certified by an independent toxicologist as safe for infant skin.<\/p>\n

We still make our soap in the kitchen, and each batch is carefully made by hand using the traditional cold process method. We don\u2019t add anything to speed up the process, and we keep things as natural as possible. We only use all-natural ingredients that are vegan, cruelty-free and responsibly sourced.<\/p>\n

\n

Our packaging is all either recycled or recyclable, and most of it is biodegradable. We\u2019re passionate about making soap that\u2019s good for you and good to the environment too.<\/p>\n

We are really proud of our soaps and we hope you love them as much as we do.<\/p>\n

From our family to yours. Stacey & Graeme<\/p>\n

Community Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

We work with makers within the Southend-on-Sea community to produce non-profit handmade facecloths that are made from either pure cotton (for sensitive skin) or recycled cotton (for sustainability).<\/p>\n

We source all of the sustainablyproduced cotton, provide training where required, and quality check each facecloth before packaging<\/p>\n
