Love the Autumn Spice soap, got a sample free and I loved it more than my original soap and I had the last 2 it was so good 😊

Gillian Atkinson

I have used Comfrey Ointment for so many different conditions. Due to long-term use of steroids, my skin bruises & tears very easily - Comfrey Ointment not only reduces the colour of new bruising but also helps to fade away old bruising and scars. It also works on any dry skin patches. It's a brilliant product, and I've recommended and purchased it for family and friends!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, many of our products are designed with sensitive skin in mind – even our products labelled for “normal skin types” are gentler than industrially created soaps. If in doubt, look for the specially designed “sensitive skin” products for options tailored to your needs.

We do not conduct any animal testing.

However some of our artisan soaps and balms contain small amounts of animal tallow and beeswax. We label all of our products that contain any animal products and by-products. If in doubt, see our vegan-friendly range.
