Autumn Newsletter: Handcrafted Skincare, Festive Preparations & A Little Alchemy
As we publish this latest newsletter, the Autumn Equinox has gently passed, and here at Dawn to Dusk Alchemy, we are already immersed in the bustling preparations for the approaching festive markets. Our Halloween artisan soap is quietly curing on the racks, alongside three beautiful, brand-new festive soaps crafted specially for the season.
We know the year so far has felt a little different—the global mood surrounding the cost of living has certainly affected the artisan community and the wonderful live events we usually attend. However, as the crisp weather sets in, the season of giving approaches, and we will be there to share it with you, with our product prices held steady to the beginning of the year.
If you are looking for meaningful, holistic gifts for those tricky-to-buy-for friends who “have everything,” please look out for our newly curated gift sets, which represent exceptional value for money.

A Note on Our Elderflower Cordial
Nature was generous to us this year, and we have produced a record quantity of our sought-after Elderflower Cordial. Due to the delicate glass bottles, this is only available to purchase in person at our live events or for local delivery. If you are in our area, please reach out via our usual contact gateways! For all our other natural skincare products, we continue to rely on Royal Mail, or our own hands for local drop-offs, ensuring the most reliable journey to your doorstep.
The Heartbeat of Artisan Craft: Why Small Businesses Need Your Support
We humbly ask you to continue supporting your local live craft and wellbeing events. These vibrant gatherings are the lifeblood of micro-businesses like ours. It is here that you find unique, bespoke products, handcrafted gifts, and homemade treats that simply cannot be found on the high street or supermarket shelves.
When you buy from an artisan, you are buying from someone who has honed their skills to a deeply passionate level. Vendors often price their wares based solely on the raw materials, rarely reflecting the true hours poured into their craft. At Dawn to Dusk Alchemy, every batch of soap we pour is beautifully unique—no two batches are ever completely identical, though every single one meets our strict holistic and safety design criteria. Your purchase is truly a one-off piece of nature’s alchemy.
Exciting New Products & Latest Upgrades
The Success of HandyDots: Our revolutionary HandyDots are proving incredibly popular. As a genuine, mess-free fix for troubled and hard-working hands, we believe we are the only manufacturer in Europe producing these perfectly portioned lotion spheres! We are busy keeping up with demand, and you can always try a sample at our live events.
Introducing TootsieDots: To complement our hand care, we have formulated TootsieDots—a bespoke foot-care balm. Using a similar nourishing base but infused with naturally antibacterial Tea Tree and refreshing Peppermint essential oils, it provides an active, soothing release for tired, sore feet.
The Ultimate Spa Gift Sets: Building on this success, we have curated exclusive Hand Spa and Foot Spa Gift Sets, featuring our “Dots” alongside complementary artisan soaps and pure cotton accessories. We have even created a combined Hand & Foot Spa Set! Please note, the artisan soaps included in these boxes are custom sizes and randomly selected, but if you have a specific preference, just let us know and we will accommodate subject to stock. (Available now at live events, launching online soon!)
Our Bespoke Natural Deodorant: Do not forget our chemical-free deodorant! Carefully blended with pure milled lemongrass, beneficial beeswax, and other fine botanical ingredients, it offers a soothing, highly effective embrace for your skin. At 80ml, it offers superior value compared to standard retail sizes. We have been thrilled by the wonderful feedback—and a new fragrance is on the horizon! [Link: Shop Natural Deodorant]
Custom Soap Commissions
Did you know we offer a bespoke commissioning service? If you would like to purchase a full batch (usually 12 bars) of any of our soaps, or have a specific fragrance or botanical ingredient in mind, we would love to collaborate with you. We can craft custom batches for special occasions, provided the recipe meets our strict safety regulations.
Discover more about how to commission your own batch of handcrafted soap on our website.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for letting nature care for you.
Warmly,
Dawn and the Team
