Glitter Berries - imagine deep dark shining berries, swirled with warming spices.

The sheer luxury soap is made with our best selling formula of Sweet Almond & Golden Olive oils with lashings of Cocoa Butter. Along with this skin loving formula, we've added Goatsmilk, Buttermilk & Yogurt along with White Kaolin Clay, Colloidal Oatmeal and, of course, Tussah Silk.

Within the swirls of deep luxurious purple, warm pink and deep red, the soap is fragranced with a scent explosion of Cranberry, Lemon, Clove, Mistletoe, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Frankincense, Patchouli, Lily, Raspberry, Green Apple & Black Grape on a warm Amber base. The soap is completed with a glistening carpet of frosty glitter.

Polar Pear ... Autumn/Winter Collection

Polar Pear - between it's swirls of polar white and the palest minty green, this soap is fragranced with our own blend of crisp juicy Anjour pears cooled by an icy drizzle of fresh minty Peppermint.

We've made the soap with our signature formulation of Sweet Almond & Golden Olive oils along with lashings of creamy Cocoa Butter plus we've added Yogurt, Buttermilk & Goatsmilk for extra skin conditioning and creamy creamy lather.  All three milks are a natural source of AHA's, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  White Kaolin clay helps to clarify and clean even the most sensitive of skin types.

The soap is completed with a glistening carpet of irridescent glitter.

Aqua Haven ... holiday memories

Well I haven't posted in a while have I? Very naughty of me... but I do beg forgiveness as I've been hugely busy, as you'll see in the following post.

Well we got back from our holidays in the middle of August, the sun was still shining (sometimes!) and I still had a few days before I went back to the day job so I decided to make a tribute soap to our time in West Cork.  For regular readers, you'll know that West Cork is the place that we feel most at home.. it's in the South West of the country and where we stay is right on the coast (the cottage is literally two minutes walk to the sea, and the pub less than 3 minutes walk in the other direction!) and it's the place where we feel most at home, most comfortable, most alive.  So it had to be celebrated right?

I decided to make a new soap and called it Aqua Haven.  I used our best selling formula using Sweet Almond & Golden Olive oils with tons of creamy Cocoa Butter - to this I added our new Triple Milk formula of Buttermilk, Goatsmilk & Coconut Milk along with Kaolin Clay, Colloidal Oatmeal, Aloe Vera & Pure Silk.  A very luxurious soap indeed and how good is this going to be on your skin?

I fragranced it with blend of Grapefruit & Lemon, with hints of Blackberry & Champagne cooled with notes of Fresh Linen, Lavender & Violet on a base of Amber, Musk & Vanilla and the colours are inspired by West Cork countryside.  There is a particular flower that grows in the hedgerows there and is the brightest orange ... against the blue sky and green sea, they are just stunning.

I've used the Celine Swirl for the design and swirled the two colours together ... take a look at the videos and photos below and you'll see what I mean.
