Our journey into soap-making was born out of need with no soap at the shops during the COVID-19 pandemic. With lots of trial and error we have now perfected our two recipes (vegan and non-vegan) to produce a soap that has a beautiful lather and moisturises the skin.
Our vegan recipes contains olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter. Our non-vegan recipe contains olive oil, coconut oil and grass-fed beef tallow. Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K which produces a soap that provides skin-loving nutrients and lengthens the life of the bar. Some of our soaps also include activated charcoal which has benefits for your skin.
To get the most out of your soap, make sure it is elevated off the sink so it can dry between uses. When you get down to the small piece at the end of the bar, pop it in a soap bag to use it all up.
We’ve noticed since using only our own soap, our skin doesn’t dry out (even during summer!) so we don’t need to purchase body moisturisers any more. Your skin is your largest organ and we welcome you to join us is using our specially crafted homemade soaps 🙂
In the past two months, we have handcrafted 40 different soaps. The soaps will be going up for sale shortly and will also be available for purchase at the York Arts and Craft Fair in June 2021.
