Our soaps are made from a base of olive
oil, pressed from olives grown on our soapmaker Shelley’s farm, sweet almond
oil, shea butter and cocoa butter. In some of our formulas we also use castor
oil as it helps to make the lather rich, and all of our soaps also contain
goats’ milk.
Shelley started adding goats’ milk to her soaps as her neighbour
had quite a few goats and needed to sell the milk, and it adds a wonderful
creamy feel and lather and is very nourishing for your skin. I am sure
Cleopatra would have used goats’ milk to bathe in if she’d run out of asses’
milk! We then add natural pigments, fragrances and essential oils to blend the
scents to perfection.
We make sure that all our ingredients are
of cosmetic quality and as much as possible we try to source everything from Portugal. All
our soaps are covered by a cosmetic safety standard certificate.
The soaps are beautifully moisturising,
leaving your skin smelling amazing and feeling silky and smooth. An extra bonus
is that having one of our soap bars or cupcake soaps in your bathroom will make
the room smell amazing, so you won’t need an artificial air freshener.
We add beautiful toppings to our soaps when
they are being made – fruits, flowers, soap shavings and swirls all help to
make the soaps look wonderful, and as our toppings are also made from soap they
won’t leave bits in your bath or shower!
Our soaps make wonderful gifts, but they
are equally perfect for everyday use or just to treat yourself. They look
beautiful, smell fantastic and they’re sure to brighten up your morning shower
or that long indulgent bath!
