Waterways Range

Welcome to our new range of soaps which celebrate our adventures on the canal network.

We have formulated a selection of scented and bubbly glycerin soaps that are fragranced with pure essential oils on a nourishing goats milk base.  We’ve also added natural clays which are known to contain detoxifying properties on all skin types.

We kick off the range with four well-loved combinations and named for some of the canals we love.

• Shroppie (Shropshire Union) – Goats milk with Orange essential oil
• Curly Wyrley (Wyrley & Essington) – Goats milk with Lime essential oil
• Golly (Llangollen) – Goats milk with Lavender essential oil
• Lanky – (Lancaster) Goats milk with Bergamot essential oil

How do we do it?

This soap is made from base ingredients that are natural/nature identical and boost the amount of glycerin that will remain on your skin. Glycerin is the magic ingredient (…a humectant, for the geeks), that continues to draw miniscule moisture droplets from the air keeping the skin nourished long after you’ve finished showering. We take a goats milk base and blend pure essential oils to complement the coloured clays to add a little bit of a boost to your morning shower.

Care for your soap:  What?  Care for soap?  Are you kidding?  No, you've spent good money on this, and it's made with beautiful, natural ingredients and untold hours of love - you want it to last. 

Keep it dry.  Nobody likes a soggy soap.  Your soap is happiest when allowed to dry out fully between uses. The easiest way to do this is to keep it on a soap dish which allows water to drain away and air to circulate.  Pop a nice bamboo soap dish into your basket here.

 Environmental: As a small artisan business one of our main aims includes finding sources that are as environmentally friendly as possible. We recycle as much as we can on the boat and on our travels, as well as trying to use minimal packaging, with what we do use being recycled.  We do have to seal the soaps, so have done so in a thin compostable wrap.  We hate plastic and are diligently looking for sustainable bags for popping in the post that will still allow your goodies to arrive in the condition you expect them to be, dry and perfect.
