Back to Scented Soaps

Bumblebee Sylvarum

£6.30 – £9.10

With conditioning raw shea butter and sesame seed oil, like its fellow Bumbleebee soaps, it is vegan-friendly. Its aroma is very similar to the clean, fresh aroma of our ‘Green Fingers’ and includes lavender, rosemary, tea tree, peppermint, cedarwood and litsea essential oils.
It includes ground nettle, green clay, turmeric, yellow clay and charcoal. Working in fine detail with clays and charcoal is tricky as the batter can thicken very quickly.
The Shrill Carder is one of our rarest bumblebees and is being helped by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust through the ‘Back from the Brink‘ project.  More details, and links to other projects in the BFTB partnership, can be found here.

20% of the sale price of each bar will go directly to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

There are two options for packaging.  Please choose one of the options from the drop down list further down the page.

All mineral pigments we use are laboratory-purified, nature-identical oxides, hydroxides and ultramarines.  Legislation now prohibits (thankfully) the use of mined sources of these minerals as they may contain harmful contaminants such as arsenic and toxic heavy metals.  The mineral pigments we use have exactly the same chemical formula as the mined version, but are 100% pure, non-irritating and thus totally safe for cosmetic use; EU labelling directives requires that each one be listed according to a specific universally acknowledged code number, the ‘ci number’.
We do NOT use any synthetic colours or pigments such as F&DC lab colours.
Our supplier for mica has assured us that it is not mined using child labour.

Price is for one bar, 95g approx / naked bar.

Packaged product weights (NB these weights are an approximation only)
Basic packaging – 100g approx
Gift box packaging – 120g approx.

Please note: as this is a handmade product there will be variations between individual bars; the product images displayed are only examples of the design although the overall theme will be the same.  Generally speaking, no two bars are exactly the same and may have slightly different dimensions owing to their hand-cut nature.

Intensive Foot Cream
Intensive Foot Cream
Our feet are often the most neglected part of us yet they have to cope with a lot. Why not treat them to the benefits of a luxurious cream, packed with emollient and nourishing plant oils and butters as well as a wonderful combination of antioxidant plant extracts (hawthorn and horse chestnut). The combination of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha viridis) essential oils provide a wonderfully cooling and gently stimulating experience with the added benefits of antioxidant, antimicrobial and dermatoprotective properties from Mentha viridis. The cream may be used all over the foot for daily conditioning; for particularly troublesome dry, cracked areas, such as the heels, why not try our concentrated 'Heeling' Foot Balm. Apply with dry hands. External use only. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Supplied in recyclable glass jars: choose from either the 30g or the 60g size.

Bumblebee Distinguendus
Bumblebee Distinguendus
Please welcome 'Bumblebee distinguendus' (Bombus distinguendus) more commonly known as the Great Yellow bumblebee; we have tried to keep the colouring of this lovely bee as close to its natural colouring as possible.  The background colouring reflects the striations of Lewisian Gneiss, the igneous bedrock that forms outcrops in the areas where the bee lives. As with our other bumblebee soaps, 20% of the sale price goes directly to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.  Thee Great Yellow bumblebee is one of our rarest bumblebees; once widespread across the UK, it is now restricted to just a few areas in the far north of the country, notably Orkney and the Outer Hebrides where its last stronghold is on the machair. As well as our usual lashings of olive and sunflower oils, shea and cocoa butters, we have added beautiful organic golden jojoba oil and given the soap a lovely unisex earthy-citrus aroma, courtesy of bergamot, grapefruit, cypress and vetivert essential oils.  Additionally, Bumblebee Distinguendus is vegan-friendly. There are two options for packaging.  Please choose one of the options from the drop down list further down the page
