Gardeners’ Soap - Exfoliating Botanical Soap for Hands
A handmade gardeners’ exfoliating soap crafted with plant oils, pumice, mineral-rich clays and pure essential oils of peppermint, rose geranium and lavender. Designed for everyday use, this bar creates a creamy, textured lather that cleanses deeply without drying the skin.
Fresh, herbal and practical, Gardeners’ Soap is suited to hardworking hands - a reliable bar for gardeners, florists and anyone who spends time outdoors.
Inspired by...
Originally created in collaboration with a peat-free, plastic-free nursery in Kent, this bar is rooted in a shared love of soil, sustainability and British plant life.
Inspired by time spent in the garden - soil under nails, herbs in the air and the quiet satisfaction of working with your hands - this is a soap designed to bring you back to clean, refreshed skin at the end of the day.
