Aloe vera has skin soothing and rejuvenating properties. In a natural soap, aloe vera is moisturising. Its emollient nature can help relieve dry skin.

The fine cosmetic grade kaolin clay added to the soap is an ingredient that creates a silky lather and also helps to purify your skin. In hair care, kaolin clay is gentle and helps to clean the scalp without drying. Kaolin clay adds a silky lather to the soap which is good for shaving too!

You can be sure of high quality ingredients and cruelty free soap that is also suitable for vegans. I make soap by hand using the traditional cold process method, with lots of love and individual attention to each piece. Unlike most commercial soaps, I leave in the naturally formed glycerine in all our soaps, because of its humectant properties that help attract moisture to the skin.

The high quality ingredients used in our soaps that are not only healthy for all skin types but for the environment as well! Ditch the plastics in the bathroom, it's a new revolution!

SOAP WEIGHTS

Please allow weight plus or minus 3 grams as these are all individually handcut soaps. Various weights available from the drop down box.

HOW IS OUR SOAP PACKAGED?

Your soap will have an eco kraft paper band as shown. Each piece is then wrapped individually in coloured soft tissue paper for protection, sealed with a "Handmade with Love" sticker to finish it nicely. It is then put into a striped paper bag and posted in a manilla envelope. Larger orders will be posted in either a thicker Jiffy Green bag or a cardboard box. All packaging is recyclable, some is recycled.

QUICK TIPS TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SOAP, SHAMPOO, SHAVE BAR

This soap shampoo bar is for all over the cleansing on hair, face, body and is fine for shaving too.

1) Lather the bar straight onto your hair or use your hand to create lather and transfer to your hair. Both ways work just fine. You don’t need much as the lather is rich. Just get your fingers right into the roots. Wash it twice if you have really hard water or if you have oily hair.

2) Rinse well with water. It may take a little longer to rinse out natural shampoo bars.

3) Follow with a weak vinegar rinse, e.g. a good splash of apple cider vinegar, any other vinegar or lemon juice (not more than 1 tsp if it's concentrated lemon juice) in a jug of warm water. This rinse will restore the natural PH balance of your hair; it closes the hair shaft and helps it shine. Rinse with fresh water. No vinegar smell will be left in your hair. Use this at every wash.

4) After the rinse you will notice that your hair feels “squeaky” clean and smooth and you may well be able to just comb through with a wide toothed comb. If hair is hard to comb through before it has transitioned, follow with a hair conditioner but you are likely to find you don’t even need conditioner as your hair adapts. Many people find this to be so. The natural oils in the soap do this job.

5) As a final step, you could put about four drops of your favourite essential oil in a half litre or so of water and just pour it over your hair for a scented and glossy finish. I use Rose Geranium which helps with hair growth, Tea Tree is great to help a flaky scalp, and it works great. Always follow usage instructions on essential oils.
