Thoughts from our customers

"These soaps are amazing! I gave them a good test today, being a grubby mountain biker I got covered in dust and mud after a little rain last night and they cleaned my body perfectly, on top of that I smell amazing and my skin hasn’t been half as dry as it usually is using chemical laden body washes from the supermarket! I’m using the patchouli base one currently “into the woods” and it compliments my aftershave really well. Highly recommend, I’ll be buying some more when these run out."

"As a gardener, my hands take a beating, and the Herb Garden soap has been a little miracle. The tiny nettle flecks give just the right amount of exfoliation without the soap feeling harsh. My hands feel clean, soft and revived after a day in the soil."

"I love the charcoal soap. The pine and juniper give it a clean, outdoorsy scent that feels properly masculine. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and smells great in the shower too."
John

"I honestly can't recommend these soaps and moisturisers enough! You can immediately see and feel the incredible care, thought and attention to detail that goes into every single product. Everything is beautifully made, feels luxurious, and the quality is exceptional. It's clear that so much love and passion goes into creating them, and that really makes them feel extra special. The exquisite detail and personal touch are second to none. I absolutely love them and will definitely be coming back for more."

Questions, answered: natural soap & skincare

Are your soaps suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! Our soaps are made with gentle, plant‑based ingredients and no synthetic fragrances.

However, some individuals can be sensitive to essential oils, so it’s always best to check the ingredients list for allergens and complete a patch test if unsure.

If you prefer something unfragranced, From the Hive is a perfect choice.

Do you use synthetic fragrances or colours?

No. All our scents come from essential oils, and our colours come from clays, herbs and plant powders.
