About Us
The Love of Soap
We’ve always loved good soap. It’s a small treasure — the joy of unwrapping a fresh bar, the lather in your hands, the gentle fragrance that lingers.
Once a fixture in every home, the humble soap bar has, in recent years, been eclipsed by plastic bottles filled with synthetic gels. And in losing them, we lost a little of life’s familiar ritual.
We’re here to bring it back. Our soaps are made with nourishing plant butters and oils, giving a rich, creamy lather and gentle scents from flowers, herbs, and the natural world. We set out not just to make a soap that’s beautifully packaged and full of heart — we wanted to make the best soap you’ve ever used, one that’s a joy every time you pick it up. We think we’ve done that: our soaps last longer, feel indulgently creamy, and leave behind only their story — never the ‘forever chemicals’ that trouble our waterways and bodies. Best of all, they leave your skin feeling clean and cared for.
The Love of Literature
Books are our constant companions. Their characters and lines pop up in everyday life: an asparagus — or any vegetable — mishap makes us think of the March sisters in Little Women, or a breath of morning air in the garden brings to mind Colin in The Secret Garden, when “the strength poured into him like a flood.”
It felt only natural to let these stories guide our soap-making. Each bar blends scent and story to capture a place, character, or feeling from our favourite books — making for simple daily luxuries with books at their heart.
What We Make
We create our cold process soaps, mineral salt soak, and nourishing body oil by hand, in small batches.
Our scents range from dark and resinous to floral, herbaceous, and green — each inspired by the emotional landscapes of our favourite books. All our butters, cold-pressed oils, essential oils, and botanicals are COSMOS-certified organic and sourced from trusted UK suppliers.
Each product is made with care to bring a little comfort and beauty to your everyday.
Everything we make is:
Organic and vegan
Free from palm oil, synthetic fragrance, and preservatives
As proud members of the Guild of Craft, Soap & Toiletry Makers, we make each product with care, keeping alive the tradition of artisanal soap-making.
Our Organic Commitment
We believe in a gentler way — for our skin, our homes, and the earth. By choosing organic, we each help shape a future that’s cleaner, kinder, and quietly beautiful.
