‘Heeling’ foot balm – lemon mint – 25g
Life can be tough for our heels and they are often sadly neglected, becoming dry and cracked. Fortunately, help is at hand in this little pot of salvation. Rich in fabulous kokum butter (known for its ability to heal and regenerate damaged skin while leaving a clean and fresh finish) it is combined with cocoa butter and sweet almond, virgin coconut and virgin hemp oils and a delicious blend of lemon, peppermint and tea tree essential oils which bring antioxidants, antiseptic qualities and a cooling and uplifting fragrance.
Apply sparingly with clean dry fingers to the affected area morning and night. This balm is very firm but will soften on contact with skin. This may be used in other dry patches on the body/hands, but has been especially formulated for foot use.
Discontinue if irritation occurs. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Due to the nature of the raw butters used, these balms are occasionally affected by graininess; this is due to the formation of natural stearic acid crystals which will not affect efficacy of the product in any way - the crystals will melt on contact with the skin.
Two sizes available - 25g and 50g.

Ale & Arty
'Ale & Arty' - I pinched some of my husband's 'Old Hooky' beer for this one (he was wondering why the bottle seemed to empty so quickly). Enriched with shea and cocoa butters as well as delicious carrot tissue oil for natural colouring and skin conditioning. Coconut milk, kaolin clay and honey are also added for the gentle properties they bring. With the men in mind, this is fragranced with an essential oil blend that includes bergamot, ho wood, geranium, patchouli and grapefruit, but don't be surprised if the ladies want to use it too.

Athena
'Athena' is our version of a Castille soap: a true Castille is made with olive oil alone; 'Athena' includes a tiny amount of castor oil as well to help boost the lather (traditional Castille soap lather being very thin).
Added to these two oils is lashings of soothing goatmilk and pure lavender essential oil.
The colour comes from a natural botanical macerate of alkanet root in olive oil and pink French clay and it has a beautiful patina of pale ash (naturally formed and commonly found on soaps with a high lavender content). The ash will gradually wash away as the soap is used.
And that's it.
The result, our most gentle soap.
As is the case with a true Castille, this one needs at least 9 months to cure fully, otherwise the lather can be 'slimy'. As we want to make sure it is as perfect as can be, we add the additional three months to make it a full year before offering it for sale.
The name comes from the Greek goddess, Athena, who, in her wisdom, gave the gift of the olive tree to the people of Athens.

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.

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.

Gaia
Gaia has has a major makeover!
It is still packed full of avocado goodness, each bar containing not just cold pressed avocado oil but pureed avocado as well.

As a textural contrast we have also included finely ground oatmeal for light exfoliation. Crushed avocado with lime juice is often topped off with red chilli so we reflect this colour contrast with a sprinkling of crushed hibiscus flower and rosehips. All in all, Gaia produces a wonderfully creamy bar that is perfect for dry skins.
