Ingredients & Skin Type
What ingredients do you use?▾
Our soaps use natural oils and butters (olive, coconut, shea), botanical extracts, and skin-safe fragrance or essential oils. Full ingredient lists are listed on each product page.
Are your soaps suitable for sensitive skin?▾
Many of our soaps, including our Oatmeal & Honey Co range, are formulated for sensitive skin. Check the product description for specific skin-type recommendations.
How long does a bar of soap last?▾
A typical 100g bar lasts 4–6 weeks with regular daily use, depending on how it's stored between uses. Keeping it on a draining soap dish extends its life significantly.
Are your soaps vegan or cruelty-free?▾
Most of our range is vegan and none of our products or ingredients are tested on animals. Check the individual product page for the exact ingredient list, as a small number of items contain honey or beeswax.
