Coconut Oil - Coconut oil is a versatile ingredient that is deeply moisturising and easily absorbed by the skin. It's rich in fatty acids, which help to nourish and protect the skin's barrier. Coconut oil also has antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for combating acne and promoting clear, healthy skin.

Shea Butter - Shea butter is a luxurious moisturiser derived from the nuts of the shea tree. It's incredibly nourishing and is known for its ability to deeply hydrate and soften the skin.

Himalayan Pink Salt - is prized for its numerous skincare benefits, including exfoliation, detoxification, and mineral replenishment.

Producing soap and natural skincare products in small batches offers several benefits:

1. Quality Control: Small batch production allows for meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each product meets the highest quality standards. This hands-on approach enables us to monitor every step of the production process, from sourcing ingredients to packaging, resulting in superior products.
2. Freshness: By manufacturing in small batches, we can maintain the freshness and potency of our products. This means that you receive skincare items at their peak effectiveness, as they haven't been sitting on shelves for extended periods.
3. Customisation: Small batch production allows us to be more flexible and responsive to customer feedback and preferences. We can easily adjust formulations, experiment with new ingredients, and tailor products to meet specific needs, ensuring a personalised experience for our customers.
4. Sustainability: Producing in small batches minimizes waste and reduces our environmental footprint. We can better manage inventory levels, avoiding excess stock and unnecessary packaging. Additionally, sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible further supports sustainability efforts.
5. Craftsmanship: Small batch production allows us to maintain a high level of craftsmanship and artisanal quality in our products. Each batch is carefully crafted with passion and dedication, resulting in skincare items that reflect our commitment to excellence and authenticity.

Overall, producing in small batches allows us to prioritise quality, freshness, customisation, sustainability, and craftsmanship, ultimately delivering exceptional skincare products that our customers can trust and enjoy.

Cold Process Soap Making:

1. Preservation of Nutrients: Cold process soap making involves mixing oils and lye at low temperatures, which helps to preserve the natural properties and nutrients of the ingredients. This results in a gentle and nourishing soap that is beneficial for the skin. Using the direct heat method also helps with the preservation of essential oil benefits.
2. Versatility: Cold process soap making allows for a wide range of creative possibilities. Different oils, butters, essential oils, and botanicals can be incorporated into the soap recipe to tailor the product to specific skin types or preferences.
3. Control over Ingredients: With cold process soap making, we have full control over the ingredients used in the soap. This means we avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, synthetic additives, and pre-made bases commonly known as melt and pour, creating a more natural and skin-friendly product.
4. Cure Time: Cold process soap requires a curing period of 4 - 8 weeks, during which excess moisture evaporates and the soap hardens, resulting in a longer-lasting bar. This curing process enhances the quality and longevity of the soap.

1. Ethical Consideration: By choosing our cruelty-free and vegan skincare products, you can align your purchasing decisions with values of compassion and ethical treatment of animals.
2. Environmental Impact: Our vegan skincare products rely on plant-based ingredients rather than animal-derived ones. This reduces the demand for animal agriculture, which has significant environmental implications such as deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution.
3. Skin-Friendly Formulations: Our vegan skincare products contain natural ingredients that are gentle and nourishing for the skin. Plant-based ingredients such as botanical extracts, essential oils, and fruit extracts can help provide various skincare benefits, including hydration, soothing, and antioxidant protection. Additionally, vegan products are less likely to contain common allergens found in animal-derived ingredients, making them suitable for sensitive skin types.
4. Inclusivity: Our cruelty-free and vegan skincare products promote inclusivity and accessibility within the skincare industry. Our products cater to a diverse range of consumers, including those who follow a vegan lifestyle, individuals with ethical concerns about animal testing, and people with specific dietary restrictions or allergies.

Net Zero:
Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases we emit into the atmosphere and the amount we remove. In other words, it's about ensuring that our overall impact on the environment is neutral. This is typically accomplished by reducing emissions as much as possible and then offsetting any remaining emissions through actions like planting trees or investing in renewable energy projects.

Circular Economy:
A circular economy is a way of doing things that aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible and eliminate waste. Instead of the traditional linear model of take, make, dispose, the circular economy focuses on reducing, reusing, repairing, and recycling products and materials. It's about designing products and systems that minimise waste and pollution, while also regenerating natural systems.
