Scented with our own blend of soothing & antiseptic essential oils including Lavender, Tea Tree and Patchouli. 90g e bar.

Key ingredients in our Gardener’s Soap:

St John’s Wort: We infuse this, then add the leaves and liquid to capture all their natural goodness. Reputed to be anti-inflammatory and effective on sprains, burns and bruises.
Aloe Vera: Used in the Mediterranean  for thousands of years, we’ve added this for its cooling and soothing properties.
Cocoa Butter: A wonderful  moisturiser to nourish dry, itchy or chapped skin.
French green clay: We’ve used this because of its gentle nature, high mineral content and absorbent properties, to help draw inground dirt out of the hands.
Glycerine and Honey: Both humescants- that is, they help to seal moisture into the skin. Glycerine is a natural product of the soap-making process, and is removed from many commercial soaps. We add even more as it’s so good for the skin. Honey is often described as “nature’s first aid kit”, as it’s naturally antiseptic and cleansing.
Patchouli, Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils: Used for their natural healing, soothing and antiseptic qualities. Combined, they give the soap a soothing, clean scent.
