About Me


  
I am a qualified and practising Aromatherapist and Hot Stone Therapist who started making soaps and other bath and body care products as a result of requests from clients who wanted more than just a bottle of oil to take away with them to use in the bath or burner at home after their treatments.

After starting off small just making bath bombs, melts and massage oils as an alternative mode of delivery for essential oils I developed an interest in soap making.

I noted that many of my clients, like myself, were “intolerant” of commercial soap. We all complained of tight, dry, itchy skin so I started researching soap making methods to see if I could work out where the problem lay. It did not take me long to realise that it was the actual manufacturing process which uses harsh chemicals and hardeners and also removes the natural glycerine from the bar to be sold as a separate line of income to the food industry that seemed to me to be the culprit.

 
I then started researching the old methods of soap making and came across books, articles and websites about cold process soap making which leaves all the goodness in the bar and so my passion was born……

I have since gone on to learn about and experiment with hot crock pot and oven processes too along with supplementing (superfatting) soaps with various oils to produce different types of bars for all the skin types.

 
Family and friends became part of my ever-expanding group of faithful volunteer samplers who tried out my many attempts (some good, some not so good!) at making the perfect bar and, after a while, people started asking if they could buy it and encouraging me to sell it to the wider public. It was just a matter of time before I found out about the regulations, had my products certified, and started selling; first to the same friends and family who had tested my products, which from there lead on to work colleagues, craft fairs, fetes and farmer’s markets.

I went on to craft many other bath and body products including massage and lotion bars, body butters and various bath additions which have lead to the wide variety of lines I produce today.

 
I used my experience as an Aromatherapist to concoct blends for my products which may prove useful in a number of ailments and complaints, but it did not take me long to realise that many people also wanted fragrances that essential oils simply could not provide, which was when I entered into the world of fragrance oils. I have been fortunate enough to find excellent, knowledgeable suppliers who provide me with high quality IFRA tested fragrance oils which have supplemented my essential oil range making my product lines much more varied and wide ranging.
 
My latest enterprise is this website. Once again I have been encouraged and cajoled by friends, family and buyers all of whom have the faith in my products to persuade me to sell on the Internet. My product range continues to develop and grow and my passion for making soaps and body care products continues to burn as strongly now as it did at its conception. I hope you enjoy using my products as much as I enjoy making them.
