We are a small producer Based in the tiny village of Wray in the heart of the Bowland Forest. We focus on bringing the most natural hand and body products using Botanicals grown organically on our Allotment and incorporating luxurious oils helping our customers to keep their hands in the best condition during these times of constant cleaning and vigilance.

We work tirelessly to reduce our footprint bringing packaging that informs the customer where necessary without compromising the goals we are all striving for. We use recycled paper packaging for our soap range and currently researching and rethinking our hand and body lotion packaging to natural Cardboard pots which will cut our footprint even further with less weight and therefore cutting the cost of shipping to our customers without having to use plastics. Having said that we are also looking at “Post consumer recycled bottles” (PCR) An exciting development for the cosmetics industry that will in time bring fully upcycled plastics to our discerning customers. 

We are supplied by our Organic allotment with an abundance of skin loving ingredients that are renowned for calming properties including Calendula our signature flower that keeps its colour during the soap and lotion making process making the finished products even more natural while maintaining vibrant sunshine colour.

High scented English Rose petals and Chamomile along with Mint Rosemary Lemongrass sage cornflowers and of course Lavender rows we share our flowers with Bees helping them to thrive wherever possible. Inside we grow our own Aloe Vera harvesting the precious gel and growing on the pups. At harvest time we carefully take only half of the crop ensuring the wildlife gets their share of the bounty.

Next we dry the petals and some whole flowers naturally in the sunshine whenever possible or on drying racks in the conservatory while preserving the integrity of every leaf and petal. 

We then incorporate these ingredients into a blend of high quality Oils and waters to create our signature soaps and lotions along with natural colours wherever possible. We have no need of preservatives in the soap as all water content is evaporated during the curing process. Leaving a product with fewer ingredients and as many skin benefits as possible.
