OUR ETHOS
As Seen in
SKINCARE, BEAUTY, WELLNESS
At Cosy Cottage, we have created an exquisite range of natural, effective skincare, beauty and lifestyle products, which blend the abundance of nature with insights from science.
Our meticulous product development process carries the principles of wellbeing and gentleness at its core.
Each of our sustainably sourced ingredients can be found in nature and our unique, essential oil fragrance curations are crafted from steam distilled flowers and fruit.
In our Yorkshire based workshops, everything is made with passionate attention to detail, using processes which consume minimal fossil fuels and produce no waste.
Our Story
Cosy Cottage Soap’s story begins with Clara producing handmade soaps in the kitchen laboratory of a 350-year-old cottage in Ganthorpe, Yorkshire. Yes, the Cosy Cottage is real!
Founder, Clara, became concerned about the harmful effects of detergents like SLS, preservatives like parabens and other additives found in many commercially produced skincare products whilst recovering from breast cancer.
Using her knowledge as a qualified chemist and an Associate of the Royal College of Science, Clara began by producing natural soaps free from sulphates, free from paraben and free from palm oil, from home. It's these roots that continue to shape Cosy Cottage Soap ethos.
As the company has expanded, so has the team. Clara’s husband Philip, her son and her daughter work part time in the business and other friends and family regularly join her in the workshop. In Clara's spare time, she runs writing courses and retreats with novelist and poet Janet Dean at Awakening The Writer Within.
In 2019, Cosy Cottage Soap moved their manufacturing to new premises in the beautiful market town of Malton, Yorkshire, where the first Cosy Cottage Store was also opened in October 2020.
