WELCOME TO THE READING ROOM

The world of handmade soap and toiletries is wide, varied and endlessly interesting. There is so much to study and marvel at, that we thought we would encourage our members to learn some of the background inspiration to how we make decisions when formulating our products. We study the skin and it's structure in order to understand a little of how our products can help to keep it in good condition. We study plants, their traditional uses and factual research on their benefits, essential oils and their chemistry, geography and how they work in aromatherapy.

 

You may also find articles on business, design and the web. 

Hopefully, you will find articles of interest here and we would encourage any comments, suggestions or contributions.
