the skin and was even used as a cleansing antiseptic in pre-modern medicine,
helping to keep skin fresh and clean.

Warm, woodsy scent that gives a grounding freshness. Cedarwood’s natural
antibacterial power makes it popular in deodorants, helping to inhibit odor-causing bacteria while its aroma comforts and relaxes.

Laurus nobilis
Bay Leaf Essential Oil
Spicy herbal scent with cleansing properties. Traditionally, bay leaf (laurel) oil has been used as an astringent and antiseptic – it tones and cleans the skin
(the classic Aleppo soap is laurel-rich). In deodorant, it offers a warm, spicy
freshness.

Picea mariana
Black Spruce Essential Oil
Crisp forest fragrance that invigorates the senses. Black spruce’s evergreen
aroma can help clear the mind and ease tension – in deodorants or soaps it
brings a fresh outdoorsy feeling and mild soothing qualities to the skin.

Pinus sylvestris
Pine Needle Essential Oil
Refreshing pine scent that signals “clean.” Pine needle oil is a natural disinfectant and
deodorizer – its terpenes have proven antimicrobial effects helping to cleanse the skin and neutralise odours. It’s like a breath of mountain air in your shower.

Abies sibirica

Salvia sclarea
Clary Sage Essential Oil
Clary sage essential oil is beneficial in soap and deodorant due to its soothing, balancing, and deodorising properties. It can help reduce skin inflammation, soothe rashes, and balance natural skin oils. Its earthy and herbaceous scent can also create a calming and uplifting aroma.

Cocos nucifera
Coconut Oil
A cleansing and hydrating oil that contributes to a bubbly lather in soaps. Coconut oil is naturally antimicrobial and helps boost the moisture content of
skin – it can even aid wound healing and tame inflammation. In deodorant, it helps fight odor (thanks to lauric acid’s
antibacterial effect) while soothing the skin.

Butyrospermum parkii
Shea butter
Ultra-rich moisturizer that leaves skin supple and nourished. Shea butter is packed with fatty acids and vitamins – it softens dry, rough skin and even has
anti-inflammatory properties to calm irritation. In soap, it creates a creamy, conditioning lather that protects skin’s moisture.

Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Light and gentle oil that absorbs easily, leaving a silky feel. Long used to soothe the skin, almond oil helps to heal minor cuts and dryness. It’s rich in vitamin E, making it great for nourishing sensitive skin in soaps, and it won’t clog pores – perfect for keeping underarms soft and balanced.

White Kaolin Clay
A very gentle clay that purifies without irritating. Kaolin clay absorbs impurities and excess oils from the skin, helping detoxify and mattify (even for sensitive skin). In deodorant, it can help keep you dry by lightly absorbing sweat while being kinder to skin than stronger clays.

Charcoal Powder
Activated charcoal is a powerhouse detoxifier – its highly porous structure binds toxins and odours, lifting them away from the skin. In soap, charcoal gives a deep cleanse (great for oily or acne-prone skin), and in deodorant it helps neutralize odour and absorb sweat naturally, leaving you feeling fresh.

Maranta arundinacea
Arrowroot Powder
A silky plant powder that keeps you comfortably dry. Arrowroot powder excels at absorbing excess moisture (sweat), which is why it’s a cornerstone of natural deodorants. It helps prevent that sticky feeling by keeping underarms dry and smooth, all with a soft, invisible finish.

Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide in deodorant acts as a natural, effective odour-fighting agent by adjusting the skin's pH to a more alkaline level, which inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria. Unlike aluminium-based antiperspirants, it allows for natural sweat while neutralizing odour. Additionally, it can help absorb moisture and keep the underarms dry

Sodium bicarbonate
A natural deodorizer that tackles underarm odour by neutralizing acids and making
the environment less friendly to bacteria. In a deodorant, a touch of baking soda can dramatically cut down odour, keeping you smelling fresh. (It also gives soap a mild effervescent cleansing effect, though in soap it’s used sparingly to avoid over-alkalinity.

FAQs
Why should I buy natural soap and not cheaper soap you can get anywhere?
Not all soap is the same. Soap in one form or another has been used for a very long time (around 5,000 years) but it was relatively recently that soap was made using industrial chemicals to reduce costs and manufacturing time. As a result, many people think soap is bad for your skin. Because of cheap degreasers like sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and artificial preservatives like parabens, cheap soaps often dry the skin and cause irritation. Natural soaps are very different - the ingredients result in an excellent cleanser leaving the skin feeling soft and supple, not dry and taut.
What is natural deodorant?
Natural deodorant uses a different strategy to dealing with body odour. Most deodorants just mask odour with artificial chemicals. Anti-perspirants will typically use aluminium to block sweat pores, to reduce sweating. Neither of these approaches is very effective or healthy. Natural deodorant instead neutralises the odorous chemicals from skin bacteria that try to break down your sweat. Combined with essential oils, your armpits will smell better, naturally!
Do you use artificial ingredients in your products?
No. We absolutely won't sell products with artificial ingredients such as SLS, parabens or parfum that can cause skin irritation. 'Parfum' is an umbrella term used by the cosmetics industry to disguise the inclusion of numerous artificial scents and you have no way of knowing exactly what you're putting on your skin. All our products are 100% natural and only use essential oils for scent.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes - all our products are vegan and definitely not tested on animals - although you don't have to be vegan to buy or enjoy them!
What about packaging? Is it sustainable?
Toiletries and cosmetics use an enormous amount of single-use plastic that can't be recycled. When we throw this away it often goes to landfill and doesn't break down. This is a simple change to make and reduce this pollution. We take a lot of trouble to use packaging that can easily be recycled - almost all of it is cardboard - except our beard oil which uses glass and bamboo. We also make sure that the cardboard is from FSC approved sources or has been recycled.
Why does natural soap cost more?
It's a hand-made product with far more time, skill and effort required to make it than cheaper counterparts. It can take weeks to properly cure a natural soap. But your skin will thank you when you experience washing with it.
What's the best way to use natural soap?
Many people will wet the soap bar and their hands and then rotate the bar to create a lather - you don't need too much. They'll then apply the lather to wet skin with just their hands. Rinse and repeat as necessary. However some people like to use a wash cloth or a loofah or even rub the bar directly on their skin - it's very much up to you.
How should I look after natural soap?
Our soap is a natural product that will dissolve if wet - so when you've finished using your soap bar, make sure it's not sitting in water. A bamboo or teak soap dish (not plastic) or soap tin with a drainage tray is ideal to maximise the life of your product.
Why should I use natural deodorant instead of body spray?
In our experience natural deodorant just works far more effectively - hours of sweaty jiu jitsu sparring has proved that to our testers! Your clothes will also smell better without repeated washing. We think the scent is way better than the typical sprays you buy in the supermarket and you're cutting out unnecessary packaging like aerosol cans and plastic containers. Our products just use cardboard tubes.
I've never used natural deodorant before - how do you apply it?
Make sure your armpits are clean and patted dry after showering or a bath and preferably keep any hair trimmed (too much hair makes deodorant trickier to apply). Our deodorants are in stick form to make them more convenient. Remove the lid, then holding the tube in one hand, gently push up from the base using your other thumb untila small amountof the deodorant stick is above the container edge - around a millimetre or or so is enough. Then, gently hold the stick against your armpit for a few moments to warm. Then apply sparingly to both armpits.
How do you get the deodorant out of the tube? I'm struggling.
Our deodorant is a natural product so it's temperature sensitive. If it's cold or has been on a window sill in cold bathroom for example it will harden and can may be harder to push up. One method around this is to hold the tube in your hand for a minute or so and gently squeeze the edge of the tube all the way around to loosen it. You can also use a hairdryer or fan heater to gently warm the cartridge up. Then, holding in one hand, use your thumb and first finger to grip the base at the edge and push your thumb up. You only need a small amount to appear above the cardboard tube.
