I’m excited to be bringing a Rosehip+Juniper facial hydrosol to my line soon! After I’ve made my Birch+Nettle—possibly tomorrow, I just need to clean my Still first then forage the wild stinging nettle and fallen birch bark.

These two will be my autumn/winter selection. Made in small batches and sold at their standard £20.50, in a 100ml amber glass bottle. 🌿

What are the skin benefits of this ingredient profile?
A rosehip hydrosol delivers a gentle, water-soluble infusion of the fruit's vitamins and antioxidants. It instantly hydrates, cools, and refreshes the skin while helping to calm redness, balance pH, and support the natural skin barrier without any heavy oil residue, whilst juniper berry cleanses and balances oily skin, fights acne-causing bacteria, and calms irritation with a gentle, woody botanical scent.

I think I’m more knackered now than when my girls were home for the Summer holidays! Less than two hours sleep last night (not drinking and it was hot here yesterday!), but some way, some how, I’ve managed to completely blitz the house from top to bottom cleaning. 🫡

A wee note also to say that your remaining orders will be posted off tomorrow, upgraded to First Class post, and, to my customers who’ve ordered my facial cleansers, my printer is being collected from the repair shop tomorrow, so I’ll also be upgrading your orders to First Class and posted off to you on Friday. Thank you so very much for your patience! 💐

***Restock News!***

I had a lovely sample order for a potential new retailer last night, and so will be restocking my Farmhouse, Mylk+Oats, Flora, Chamomile, and making more of my Gorse+Honey, Orange Cedar and Calendula soaps with my award-winning Wildling: Forest Blend, Herbal Shampoo Bar!

I’ll have some of each listed soon on my website, but not a massive amount as it’s mainly being created for the order. If you’ve seen any you’d like—please don’t leave it too late to pre-order. My soaps do not stay in stock for long, esp ones that haven’t been stocked in a while! 😅

Good morning, everyone! If you’d like to pre-order one of my beautiful new facial hydrosols: “Birch+Nettle,” then please drop me a comment below or send me a message. My copper alembic still has arrived, so I’m just awaiting the preservative and more bottles to come, which should see me out to forage the ingredients on Saturday, with a dispatch of next week with them.

They are 100mls, in my standard glass amber bottles and priced at £20.50 each, with £4.50 P&P on top. 🌿

*As always, they’ll be small batch made and I have a couple of pre-orders already taken.
