Plastic & Palm Oil Free Starter Box
"When I opened the box the lovely scents from the enclosed soaps filled the air. Bliss! The soaps are so mild and the bubbles super soft on the skin. The sweet orange hand cream quickly sorted out my winter dry, cracked hands and my feet have never been so silky soft thanks to the foot balm. The lovely muslin cloth is a great product and dries so quickly making it very useful on trips away. The simple chic soap dish is great too. The shampoo bar left my hair feeling clean and silky, just wonderful! What a joy!"

This glorious box is not only eco-friendly but luxurious too. It contains everything we think you'll need to kick-off your new eco-friendly way of living.
All the products in this box are handmade in small, low energy consumption and low wastage batches, in our Yorkshire workshop using ingredients sourced from UK based suppliers.
We only use ingredients which can be found in nature and everything is free from the harmful effects of parabens, detergents, sulphates and SLS. We add no water to our extra long-lasting products, nor do we use any artificial colourings. Our gentle fragrances are all lovingly created from steam distilled flowers., fruits and plants. Great for your skin, hair, the environment and your pocket too.
At Cosy Cottage we do not test anything on animals and we do not commission third parties to do so on our behalf. We have plenty of willing friends and family members who are more than happy to test our products themselves and we work closely with medical professionals, a cosmetics safety consultant and microbiology lab. to ensure everything is absolutely safe to use.
This beautiful collection of products, including products for skin, face, hair and body is presented in an exclusive Cosy Cottage gift box, designed by one of our local artist partners. These attractive boxes are frequently re-used by our customers and all our packaging is either fully recyclable cardboard or plant derived, including our clear bags and bubble wrap, which will compost within a year.
If you wish, our gift boxes may be sent directly to your chosen recipient. We offer a gift wrapping service at checkout and you have the option to create your own personalised message and select a greetings card for a reasonable additional charge if you wish.

Lots of lovely products to try. The soap (body & face) feels really gentle and creamy but still leaves me feeling clean. Moisturiser rubs in well and is non greasy. All the scents smell great.
Superb scent and quality.
What a fantastic gift to receive from my best friend. A beautifully gift wrapped box full of all my favourite things! When I opened the box the lovely scents from the enclosed soaps filled the air. Bliss! The soaps are so mild and the bubbles super soft on the skin. The sweet orange hand cream quickly sorted out my winter dry, cracked hands and my feet have never been so silky soft thanks to the foot balm. The lovely muslin cloth is a great product and dries so quickly making it very useful on trips away. The simple chic soap dish is great too. The shampoo bar left my hair feeling clean and silky, just wonderful! What a joy! Hope to visit the shop in the New Year. Keep up the great work! All the best for 2022!
Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback to us about your gift. We are very pleased that you were happy with your gift. We very much look forward to seeing you, we hope, in 2022.
Love the shampoo hair looks clean and shiny. Shea butter soap is great for my face not drying. Foot cream lovely and and hand and body butter is amazing. I have yet to use the lavender soap. I think these are great products and I am definitely a convert
We are delighted that you are pleased with our products. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. Many thanks and best wishes
*For context I am a 33yr old woman with bad allergies (not medically severe but enough that everything makes my skin red & itchy) & mild alopecia to the middle/side of her head due to medical treatments over the years*
I received my box Monday morning, less than a week after I placed an order & it was nicely wrapped in simple brown paper (which I would have reused but one of my cats jumped at the chance to tear it to shreds) with a handwritten note about my order. As stated above I, like other reviews I have seen on here have been trying to find something that... well, works. Things I have been using are now no longer suitable &a lot of the 'high end' toiletries are just an absolute no go. So I looked around & after what seemed an agonising amount of time & many dead ends, I came across the fb page for Cosy Cottage. Went to the website, read EVERY single review (worth it) bit the bullet & purchased a box. Now disclaimer, I have only used these products for ONE day. I will of course leave another review after a significant amount of time has passed. But Holy cow. One day was enough to see a change. Picked lavender soap at random & ran a bath. Used the soap & nothing else. My husband summed it up best when he came in & saw me "huh, you're not a tomato today" (He's very blunt lol) Seriously though, My skin was not red & not itchy. & it still isn't. So I tried the face soap with the muslin. Oh its so good. I also used the shampoo bar. LOVE IT SO MUCH. Seriously, THANK YOU.
This is so good to hear and we are delighted that you (and your husband) are pleased with the products. Your specific points will also be helpful to other potential customers with allergies. Thank you, Victoria and best wishes
