HAND WASHING
In a world where it’s never been so important, here is how to get it right…
Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
100% natural soap

Soap #1

Handcrafted with care, this soap features our unique base without added essential oils, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a fragrance-free or pure soap experience - crafted solely from coconut oil, ensuring simplicity and purity.
Why we make it:
‘When we started out on our soap-making journey we wanted to create a traditional cold process soap that was different to regular shop-bought soap - a cut above. After much testing, recipes and trial and error we settled on 100% coconut oil as our base, the lather is second to none, it's so mild and gentle on the skin. And being ‘superfatted’ - (the rather unflattering term that means more oil is in the soap than chemically turns to soap) it is lovely and moisturising too. Many of our customers use us to help with sensitive skin so having an essential oil-free soap was a necessity.
Key features:
Designed with sensitive skin in mind: Essential oil-free, gentle and moisturising with our Coconut Oil base for an amazing lather and effective cleansing.
Hard and long-lasting 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars).

Soap #2 - Tangy, bitter and zesty, sophisticated and refreshing - Active essential oils: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Petitgrain.
Imagine starting your day with a burst of tangy and zesty citrus goodness. Our 'zesty' citrus soap captures the invigorating essence of these essential oils with just a hint of sweetness, making it the perfect choice for a morning stress buster. It's like a refreshing wake-up call for your senses!
Let's talk about the star ingredients in this soap. We've combined the incredible benefits of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Petitgrain essential oils for a combination of mood-boosting zesty citrus vibes. Combine this with their natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and you have a citrus blend that keeps you uplifted, protected and refreshed.
In addition to its cleansing prowess, our soap naturally possesses antibacterial properties, thanks to its carefully selected ingredients. And let's not forget about the therapeutic effects our essential oil blends offer. They not only provide a delightful aroma but also work wonders for your well-being.
Why we make it:
‘When I was inventing this essential oil blend I wanted a citrus combination but with all the bitter citrus - so bergamot (found in Earl Grey Tea) and Petitgrain were the obvious bedfellows. There is something about the scent of a grapefruit that just appeals to me - I try and eat one every day and love the intensity of the scent and flavour. They take me back to seeing my Nan eat them. I hope you love this scent just as much as I do for its uplifting and zesty almost woody scent.’
Key features:
A teaspoon of essential oil per block: Our blend of Grapefruit / Petitgrain / Bergamot.
Scent: Faboulusly fresh - all the ‘bitter’ and tangy citrus fruits with a woody edge.

Why we make it:
‘We already had our signature citrus blend (in our citrus hand balm) when we started making our soaps - but scent-wise wise this blend is like all the citrus Rowntree fruit pastiles in one! A very uplifting and ‘bright’ scent that is immediately familiar and heartening. We use only the finest essential oils, so this soap will instantly awaken your senses, creating a feeling of energy and vitality.’
Scent:

Soap #4

Real Soap: Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300. 100% Natural ingredients. Compostable /recyclable packaging.
Why we make it:
‘We already had our best-selling Lavender Hand Balm before we started making soaps and knew we had to have a Lavender soap in the range. It’s one of the few essential oils that is truly happy on its own. We sourced a lovely lavender-growing family down in the Cotswolds and have bought their essential oil ever since. The type of Lavender is known as ‘intermedia’ (Latin and all that) but it is by far and away my favourite of the Lavender family and is instantly calming and emotionally stabilising, a perfect soap to use when you want to wind down.’
Scent:
Revered for centuries for its calming and relaxing properties, lavender sets the tone for a calming and relaxing experience.
Soap #5
Our soaps are made using the traditional cold process method, ensuring a superior bar that produces a rich, creamy lather to deeply cleanse, nourish and moisturise your skin. Made from our highly moisturising 100% natural coconut oil base. Essential oils of Juniper, rounded by floral and citrus notes.
Key features:
A teaspoon of essential oil per block: Our blend of Juniper / Lemon / Cedarwood / Ylang Ylang.
Scent: Very much gin and tonic territory - a great hit of juniper, rounded by floral and citrus notes.
Hard and long-lasting: 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars).
Real Soap: Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300. 100% Natural ingredients. Compostable /recyclable packaging.
Why we make it:
We had so much fun experimenting with our favourite essential oils to create this unique blend – Juniper being one of our favourite essential oils - totally unrelated to the fact that it is the scent of gin :). This blend took some getting right - on its own Juniper takes some ‘rounding’ as a smell. So we use cedarwood (smells like pencil sharpenings - in a good way) with a little ylang-ylang to round out the mid-tones. The result is both outdoorsy and gin and tonic-like. After a shower with this bar, I always feel grounded and ‘together’.
Scent:
Juniper purifies, lemon refreshes, cedarwood stabilises, and ylang-ylang harmonises, creating an aromatic journey that invigorates the spirit and soothes the soul.
Soap #6

Key features:
A teaspoon of essential oil per block: Our blend of Ylang Ylang / Lemon / Lavender.
Hard and long-lasting: 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars).
Real Soap: Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300.
100% Natural ingredients. Compostable /recyclable packaging.
Why we make it:
‘We already had our Floral Blend (in our Floral Hand Balm) when we started to make soap - but the Exotic floral and slightly citrus edge to this blend had to be in soap form too! Ylang Ylang is immediately exotic and floral but a very ‘round’ smell so we wanted to liven it up with a little Lavender sharpness and Lemon vibrance. The final blend is warm, exotic and floral with just a hint of citrus peel. A real all-rounder a sweet, floral, and exotic fragrance.’
Scent:
Scent: Fragrant and floral, packed full of Ylang Ylang and its exotic floral tones.
Soap #7
Our soaps are made using the traditional cold process method, ensuring a superior bar that produces a rich, creamy lather to deeply cleanse, nourish and moisturise your skin. Made from our highly moisturising 100% natural coconut oil base. Essential oils of Geranium Rose, Sweet Orange, Lemon, our rose-like blend that uplifts your spirit and restores your focus.
Key features:
A teaspoon of essential oil per block: Our blend of Geranium Rose, Sweet Orange, Lemon.
Hard and long-lasting: 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars). Real Soap: Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300. 100% Natural ingredients. Compostable / recyclable packaging.
Why we make it:
‘What's more head-spinningly delightful than the heady scent of Roses - we wanted that smell for our soap, Geranium rose is that smell! A smell that just evokes freshly cut flowers, greenhouses and personally the smell of my mum's conservatory full of pelargoniums. Pared with a little citrus and the mid-tone of sweet orange this is just a gloriously English Rose Garden-like smell - packed full of top notes and mid notes, sharp, floral and a true celebration of Geranium Rose.’
Scent:
Very rose-like, English country garden vibes with its geraniums and pelargoniums - lovely and rounded.
Soap #8

Hard and long-lasting: 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars). Real Soap: Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300. 100% Natural ingredients. Compostable / recyclable packaging.
Why we make it:
‘When we moved from Sheffield to live in Holmfirth we found some incredible woodland and forest walks. Trying to capture and recreate that scent became a personal mission! I wanted to end up with a blend of pine needles and a resin-like smell that the resin of a pine tree smells like. So with a ‘menu’ of pine, fir needle and cedarwood essential oils, I developed what I think is a lovely blend and one that is nothing but pure outdoors - in remote places. Every time I use this bar I’m transported to the tranquility of being in wild spaces and remote places.’
Scent:
Pure outdoors - all the best invigorating essences from woodland walks and adventure.

Soap #12 - Floral, resinous and gently age-supporting – Active essential oils: Neroli & Frankincense.
Imagine starting your day with a soft floral brightness from neroli, lifted by the warm, resinous depth of frankincense. This soap brings together two traditional botanicals known for their skin-supporting qualities, creating a bar that feels both uplifting and grounding in equal measure.
Neroli offers a delicate, floral citrus note that feels bright and calming on the skin. Frankincense sits underneath it with a rich, woody-resin character that has long been associated with skin renewal and care. Together, they form a balanced blend that feels refined, steady and naturally restorative.
Both essential oils are traditionally valued for their skin-supporting properties. Neroli is often associated with helping promote a radiant, healthy-looking complexion, while frankincense is known for its long-standing use in supporting skin that appears smoother, firmer and more even. Combined, they help leave the skin feeling clean, comfortable and well cared for.
This is a soap designed for daily use, with a simple coconut oil base that produces a rich, creamy lather. The essential oil blend gives it a subtle aromatic depth that lingers softly without overpowering.
Why we make it:
We wanted a blend where both oils are clearly present, rather than one sitting behind the other. Neroli brings lightness and lift, while frankincense provides depth, structure and a more grounded feel. Frankincense remains the backbone of the blend, with neroli adding brightness and clarity on top. It’s a combination that feels timeless and well balanced.
Key features:
A teaspoon of essential oil per block: Our blend of neroli & frankincense essential oils.
Scent: Bright floral neroli layered over warm, resinous frankincense with a soft woody finish.
Hard and long-lasting 140g Big Block (40% bigger than standard bars).
Made traditionally by hand using the cold process method in batches of 300. 100% natural ingredients.
