The Secret Garden

Enjoy the soul-soothing pleasure of our Cypress and Petitgrain soap, inspired by The Secret Garden. Fresh and woodsy, it recalls simple childhood joys — wellington boots trudging along garden paths, light filtering through the trees, and gentle birdsong in the air. It’s as if the garden itself is breathing life into the soap.

Made with rich cocoa butter and avocado oil, it lathers into a creamy, comforting wash, leaving skin soft, clean, and cared-for. The green, woodsy scent makes it a perfect addition to your morning or evening routine. A gentle, everyday reminder of nature’s quiet power to uplift and transform, just as it did for Mary Lennox.

All our soap products are handmade in small batches, using a traditional cold process method. Use at the basin, bath, or shower. 

Cypress Essential Oil: Refreshing and woodsy, it is said in aromatherapy to uplift the spirit and bring a sense of grounding and clarity.

Petitgrain Essential Oil: Lightly floral and green, it is used in aromatherapy to calm the mind and encourage a gentle, balancing sense of well-being.

Cocoa Butter: Rich and comforting, it nourishes the skin while adding a creamy, indulgent texture to the lather.

To keep your soap at its best before use, store it in a cool, dry spot with good air circulation, away from sunlight and humidity. Historically, soaps were often tucked into linen closets to gently scent fabrics.

To make your soap last longer, keep it dry between uses by placing it on a well-draining soap dish. For high-traffic areas, like a hand basin, consider halving the bar with a knife and using one piece at a time.
