We make all of our soaps ourselves,
here in the picturesque Wensleydale village of West Tanfield, because
we want to know exactly what goes into our products.
Beginning with
high-quality food-grade olive, coconut and palm oils, we use
traditional techniques (well, okay, we cheat a little and use an
electric stick blender to speed
things up) to convert these oils
into a lovely and mild, skin-softening soap with rich, creamy lather
that contains all the natural glycerin that's so good for your skin
and yet is usually
lost in most commercially-made soaps. We then add pure essential
oils
for a rich and luxurious scent
and sometimes ground coffee or spices, such as paprika or cinnamon,
to add colour or act as a gentle exfoliant. We never use any artificial
scents or colours.
Our soaps are then left to air-cure for at least 4 weeks, ensuring that
each one is mild and gentle, before being hand cut, wrapped, labelled
and sold.
Brass Monkey |
 |
Brass Monkey is a masculine, winter warmer scent. Spicy
and woody, with sweet
orange and sandalwood oils, it will help
to settle you for winter evenings. Ground cinnamon adds colour and
texture
to this
mulled-wine of a soap. |

Healing Hippy |
 |
Healing Hippy is scented with relaxing clary sage for
feelings of well-being, tea tree for healing and patchouli,
which is what you get
when you
hug a hippy really hard. This soap is good for dry, itchy and mature
skin or just to pick you up when things are getting "really heavy, man"
and you want to stick a peace sign up to the world. |

some will be heavier)

Limander |
 |
Limander is scented with zingy lime oil to
refresh and revive you and lavender oil to calm you. We
also use spicy ground paprika in the recipe which gives
it a lovely subtle salmon colour. This
is one of our best-selling soaps and is a perfect tonic for those mornings
when you can’t
quite wake up. |

you've been pushing yourself hard. Whether you've been hill walking, gardening
or salsa
dancing,

pepper combine to ease your aching muscles and leave you ready for

Oooaaah |
 |
Oooaaah is one for the outdoors type, the soap is scented
with lemongrass, lavender and palmarosa to
not only keep you smelling gorgeous, but also
do just
a little bit to help keep those pesky bugs at bay. It's named after what
we say when we get in a lovely hot bath after a hard day in the garden. |

Scrubadub |
 |
Scrubadub has been blended as a gardener's or cook's soap.
We've added ground coffee to the recipe to act
as a gentle but effective exfoliant and scrub. We also use the essential
oils
of coriander seed and lemon, which
together act as excellent deodorisers.
So whether you've been chopping garlic or planting garlic, this soap will
get you clean and leave your hands soft. |
