No. 19 Geranium and Lavender
A new soap variety, well a variation of the fragranced goats milk soap that has gone vegan. Made with seven vegetable oils including a healthy dollop of shea butter.
This soap has a lovely soothing floral fragrance using a blend of geranium and lavender essential oils and is coloured using a botanical herb called alkanet.
This herb is part of the borage family is grows widely throughout Europe and is traditionally believed to help with inflammation reduction and has a cooling effect removing heat out of the skin.
As with all of my soaps this variety will be available in all three bar sizes.

Looking after your soap
Handmade soaps will perform better if they can be kept dry when not being used. They will absorb water and become soft if sitting in water.
Draining soap dishes are available on my website to help with this if required.
Handmade soaps are essentially hardened blocks of a combination of oils with other ingredients including essential / fragrance oils added.
When using them it takes a bit of getting used too, that actually only a few turns of the soaps in the hand are usually enough and as you rub your hands together the lather increases ,so unlike 'normal' soaps not a lot is needed.
If you enjoy coupious amounts of lather,as I do,then use a bath scrunchie or natural sponge . I have these available though I am sourcing non plastic versions currently and these will be available soon. Please see my accessories page for these.
Caring For Your soap : Between uses allow the bar to dry out throughly or they will go soft if let in water or in a humid place and will not last nearly as long.
Draining soap dishes available too on the accessories page.
Packaging Information
Soaps are Wrapped with 100% recycled kraft paper and presented in a fully biodagradable bag made from wood pulp. The bag is also fully compostable. Cut the bag into smaller pieces and just put into your compost heap or place in your green collection bin.
All paper offcuts are either further recycled and remade into handmade paper sheets used for postal orders or are composted.
The only part of all my packaging that are not biodagradable is the wax stamp on the large bars and the greaseproof paper used to wrap the round soaps.
