  • Shhhhh, these soaps are getting their beauty sleep.

    Did you know that soap gets better with age? We cure our soaps for 4 - 6 weeks before we sell them. This makes gentle soap that nourishes the skin and creates a luxurious lather.

Beautiful on the inside too.

We get told all the time that our soaps are beautiful which is true, but their ingredients make them even more beautiful on the inside.

Or soaps are all plant based, palm free and vegan with the exception of our Honey & Oatmeal soap which contains New Zealand Manuka honey.

The reason our soaps are so moisturising is because they are made with nourishing vegetable fats that leave the skin feeling soft and supple.

When it comes to adding scents we sometimes use essential oils which come from plants or we use fragrances. We use only the best fragrances available on the market and they are IFRA approved 100% pthalate-free and contain no ingredients on the California Prop 65 list

We have a vast range of methods to add colours to our soaps from clays and charcoal to herbs, oil infusions and sometimes even food. To achieve most bright colours we have made a conscious decision to change from natural mica to synthetic. Synthetic mica is nature equivalent without the risk of heavy metal contamination plus by choosing to use synthetic mica we are eliminating the chance of using child mined mica.

  • Thermal mud in every bar.

    Our New Zealand thermal mud soap offers a myriad of benefits that make it stand out in the skincare market. Here are several reasons why we add it to all of our soaps.

    1. Natural Ingredients: New Zealand thermal mud soap is typically made with natural ingredients, including thermal mud sourced from geothermal regions of New Zealand. This mud is rich in minerals like suphur, calcium, sodium, and silica, which are known for their skin-nourishing properties.
    2. Deep Cleansing: Thermal mud soap has excellent absorption properties, making it highly effective in drawing out impurities, toxins, and excess oils from the skin. This deep cleansing action helps to unclog pores and prevent breakouts, leaving the skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

  • Experience the purest form of skincare with our cold process soaps, offering an array of benefits that surpass liquid body washes:

    1. Natural Ingredients: Crafted with care using natural oils and butters, our cold process soaps avoid harsh chemicals often found in liquid body washes, ensuring a gentle and nourishing cleanse for your skin.
    2. Moisturising Formula: Unlike liquid body washes that can strip the skin of its natural oils, our cold process soaps retain glycerin, a natural byproduct of the soap-making process, locking in moisture and leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated.
    3. Customised Formulations: Our cold process soaps can be customised with a variety of beneficial ingredients such as shea butter, cocoa butter, essential oils, and botanical extracts to address specific skin concerns and preferences, providing a personalised skincare experience.
