Ethical Haircare Set

Our nourishing and refreshing, oatmeal, lemon and peppermint hand and body scrub is handmade in our Yorkshire workshop from natural, palm oil free ingredients and is packaged in recyclable or reusable packaging. The 100ml aluminium tin of scrub is coconut oil and shea butter based with plant derived glycerin, which is a powerful moisture retentive ingredient; ideal for dry, dull skin.  

This nourishing, smoothing scrub is best massaged into skin using gentle small, circular movements and is suitable for hands, feet and body

Hands - use weekly or twice weekly to smooth any calloused, rough or hard skin before rinsing away any residual grains of oatmeal then moisturising thoroughly with one of our popular hand and body creams with essential oil fragrance

Feet - use weekly or twice weekly to soften hard skin prior to wiping away any residual oatmeal grains and then following up with a treatment with our mango and lemon foot balm. For a really intense treatment, for example to sooth badly cracked heels, pop on a pair of our bamboo socks and allow the Mango Foot Balm to soak in overnight.

Body - use on dry skin before entering the bath or shower or on wet skin in the shower to boost circulation, remove dead skin cells and help break down cellulite before rinsing and showering as usual.

Our carefully selected key ingredients are well known for their skincare, wellbeing and overall health benefits 

Oatmeal - This popular, natural exfoliant absorbs excess oil from the skin and helps treat acne. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help relieve dryness and remove dead skin cells and the naturally occurring saponins within this popular skincare friend, are natural cleansers; removing the dirt and oil which can clog pores.

Lemon essential Oil - Rich in anti-oxidants, refreshing and energising. This essential oil can restore and brighten tired, sagging or damaged skin. 

Peppermint Essential Oil - Renowned for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties alongside its cooling, soothing action to calm irritation and inflammation.

Trustpilot Review - 7 Sept 2022

Deodorant is easy to use and kept me fresh feeling all day. They smell heavenly too. Loving all the products and looking forward to trying others. 

"Still loving the fragrance/scent and can still smell it on me when I get home about 4.30. No horrid sweaty smells for me, even when I’ve been running which is fab! And no skin irritation either."

Saving money and saving the planet go Hand in Hand

Our natural deodorants are aluminium, additive, propellant and paraben free and offered in a recyclable aluminium tin. We compared our 50ml product to a 250ml spray can of deodorant, we used our customers’ feedback, volumes used and price data and we see a saving of over 50% of the daily cost.

The main reasons for the difference?

• Only a tiny bit of natural deodorant is needed to be effective
• Reapplication is required less frequently

Product Description

Our fabulous deodorants are aluminium free, plastic free, paraben free, alcohol free and palm oil free. These natural deodorants are packed in recyclable tins and fragranced with essential oils for a naturally fresh experience. The combination of rich shea butter, sweet almond oil and vitamin E protects and nourishes your sensitive underarm skin. 

We offer an optional wooden spatula with which to apply this product if preferred. Particularly suitable for those with lovely, long fingernails who prefer not to clog them with deodorant :) 

Our Geranium, Lavender and Tea Tree deodorant is available in two sizes, long-lasting 50ml or handy 30ml.

To use, simply scoop a very small amount of the creamy, natural deodorant product from the tin with clean hands or dab the back of the index finger in the balm. Apply onto your underarm skin. See our video on how to use here!

As with all of our products, we refrain from adding excess water. This means our natural deodorant is concentrated and a little goes a long way.

NOTE: Our hand/body creams and natural deodorants are coconut oil based rather than water/synthetic emulsifier based. They can become runny in very hot weather. Please keep them in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and do pop them in the fridge to reset if required. Some customers keep their natural deodorant in the fridge during very warm weather.

You can read more about how our natural deodorant is different and why it works so well in our blog HERE.

Good for your hair, good for your pocket and GREAT for the planet, our popular 55g natural shampoo bars are now available in lavender or lemongrass essential oil fragrances in addition to the fragrance free version. 

The 55g shampoo bars are 100% sulphate free, additive free, palm oil free, cruelty free, plastic free, they're suitable for vegans and 100% natural. All our packaging is plastic free; either fully recyclable cardboard or made from plant derived materials. Alternatively you may choose to receive your shampoo bars free from any packaging.

You can read about making the transition to our natural, detergent free shampoo bars here, where you'll find out what to expect when using a natural shampoo bar.

We manufacture our products in small, waste-free batches in the beautiful market town of Malton, Yorkshire in the UK.

These shampoo bars can help to reduce the 36 million plastic bottles used EVERY DAY in the UK because they completely eliminate the need for plastic packaging. Plastic makes up 80% of the waste found on beaches around the world and over 300,000 tonnes of debris that floats in our oceans.

Each shampoo bar lasts longer than your average bottle of shampoo as we do not add water to our products. You will find you need much less than high street detergent-based shampoos; a little goes a very long way.

Our natural shampoo bar now comes in three fragrance options:

- The original fragrance-free formulation is extra gentle for sensitive scalps

- The lemongrass essential oil fragranced variation smells fresh and energizing. Lemongrass essential oil is said to balance excess oil production - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

- The lavender essential oil fragranced version smells beautiful, relaxing and calming. Lavender essential oil is said to help with itchy, flaky scalp - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

You will find you don't need as much product as liquid, detergent-based  shampoos to clean your hair. Simply lather the solid shampoo bar in your hands and then apply to your hair as you would a liquid shampoo, before rinsing out very thoroughly and repeating.
