Having moved to Andalucia from England in the early 90s, to live on a small holding in the Alconocales Natural Park, I became interested in the local plants; especially the abundant aromatics that were collected by the "campesinos" both for their culinary and medicinal use.

I later joined forces with a local woman known for her knowledge of medicinal plants who showed me how and when to collect various herbs to distil in order to obtain wonderful essential oils. I also made my first soaps with her - soap making still being a widely practised skill, mainly to make laundry soaps for hand washing.

I became fascinated by the soap making process both for its inherent simplicity and possibilities for creativity: use of natural colorants, exfoliants, and essential oils. I researched and experimented extensively with the aim to produce a totally pure natural palm oil free soap with a good lather, smooth texture and fine grain.

All the soaps I make are hand stirred in small 3 kilo batches. They are coloured with plant extracts and scented with pure essential oils guaranteeing a true handmade chemical free product.

Where possible I use locally produced ingredients: the principal oils used are locally produced olive oil and organic coconut oil. I also sometimes use ingredients produced on my farm: honey, citrus peel, goats milk, herbal infusions. All the formulas have been tested and approved by an independent laboratory and comply with the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2004 9(1)(d).

Being committed to environmental issues, all the soaps are totally palm oil free due to the environmental unsustainability of this oil. All the packaging is 100% recycled. The soaps themselves come wrapped in recycled textured paper.
