Ingredients and Skin Care
Understanding what goes into your soap helps you choose with confidence and care for your skin well.
The natural ingredients we use
Our soaps are made with natural ingredients chosen for their gentle, skin-friendly qualities. We describe them in general terms here, and we are happy to share more specific details on request.
Every batch is made by hand, so each bar carries the character of its ingredients.
Potential benefits for your skin
Gentle cleansing that respects the skin's natural balance

Choosing a soap for your skin
Every skin is different. Here is a simple guide to help you find a good match.
Dry or sensitive skin
Look for gentle, moisturising bars that cleanse without stripping. Start with a small bar to see how your skin responds.
Oily or combination skin
Choose a lighter, clean-feeling bar that rinses well and leaves skin fresh rather than tight.
Everyday use
A balanced bar suits most people for daily washing of face and body.

Storing and using your handmade soap
Keep the bar on a draining soap dish so water can run off between uses
Allow the soap to dry fully between washes to help it last longer
Avoid leaving it sitting in standing water
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Handmade soap is free of the harsh preservatives found in some commercial products, so it may soften a little more quickly with use. This is normal.
