🍊 Sweet orange, sour news for midges.

If you’ve ever noticed insects seem to steer clear of citrus scents, there’s a reason for it. Essential oils found in citrus peel like sweet orange contain naturally occurring compounds such as limonene, which are often used in plant-based insect deterrents. These aromas can help make you less appealing to biting insects like midges and mosquitoes.

That’s where our Sweet Orange Hand & Body Cream comes in.

Light, nourishing and made with naturally derived ingredients, it’s scented only with sweet orange essential oil for a fresh, uplifting aroma that’s far kinder than synthetic fragrance, and a little less welcoming for summer’s unwanted guests.

A simple, natural companion for warmer days outdoors, evenings in the garden, and holiday moments where you’d rather not be eaten alive.

Naturally fragranced with sweet orange essential oil
Free from harsh synthetic additives
Lightweight, non-greasy moisturising formula
Perfect for summer skin and outdoor evenings

Smells like summer. Feels like comfort. Helps keep the biters guessing.

This is definitely the multitasker of the group 🙌🏼

Our solid shampoo bars are ideal if you’re trying to pack light, reduce plastic, or avoid travelling with approximately 47 bottles rattling around in your wash bag 😅

They can (obviously) be used to wash your hair, but also double up as a body wash too, making them perfect for holidays, weekends away, gym bags, camping trips, or anyone who likes their bathroom shelf to look slightly less chaotic.

They’re plastic-free, compostably packaged, long-lasting, and available in three lovely scents 🤝

We love to see it.

Have you tried one yet?

When you're camping, glamping or travelling off the beaten track, what goes down the drain doesn't always disappear harmlessly. Many everyday toiletries contain synthetic detergents, fragrances and other additives that can end up in local waterways and natural environments.

Our Travel Soap Set is made with simple, natural ingredients and fragranced only with essential oils. Free from SLS, SLES, parabens and artificial perfumes, they're a thoughtful choice for adventures where protecting the places you visit matters just as much as enjoying them.

Six handy travel-sized bars, handmade in Yorkshire and packed in a reusable organic cotton bag.

Pack light. Tread lightly. Leave nature just as you found it.

🌿 Plastic-free
🌿 Palm oil free
🌿 No artificial additives or perfumes
🌿 Perfect for camping, hiking, festivals and travel

An opportunity to celebrate the people who guide us, support us, make us laugh, teach us practical things, listen when we need them and simply show up for us in everyday life.

​It's Dads, stepfathers, grandpas, uncles, partners, mentors, family friends or another much-loved father figure who has showed care and encouragement along the way.

We know families come in many forms, and this Father’s Day we’re celebrating everyone who nurtures, protects and supports the people around them. For those who may find Father’s Day difficult or bittersweet, we’re thinking of you as well. ❤️
