FAQ

I can’t use soap !!! 

An awful lot of people tell us this, a lot of commercially made soap contains ingredients such as S.L.S. (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) and colours among other things which can be irritating to the skin. Our soap does not contain S.L.S and we do not colour our soap nor do we use parabens. We fragrance in the main with essential oils, however essential oils themselves contain naturally occurring allergens which in line with legislation are listed on our labels. We and many users of our soap have found that it is gentle to the skin and a pleasure to use.
