Exciting News... We have been shortlisted for Social Enterprise of the Year at

Yesterday, Lerwick was buzzing. Today, it has taken a deep breath.

The harbour is calm once again, the water is gently rippling, and life has settled back into its familiar Shetland pace.

That’s exactly the feeling behind Chilled Oot. Soft coconut and creamy vanilla create a warm, comforting fragrance with subtle reminders of sun cream, sandy beaches and holidays where time seems to slow down.

You might not be on a tropical island, but for a little while, your home can feel a world away.

Light a candle, pop a wax melt in the burner… and be Chilled Oot. 🌊☀️🕯️

There’s plenty of care and attention going into today’s soap wrapping! 💜

Daryn and Lynn have been having a lot of fun wrapping and labelling our traditional hard bar soaps, ready to make their way to customers.

Made using all-natural ingredients and scented with the soft, floral notes of Heather, these bars are a firm favourite. Every soap is carefully finished by hand, with every label applied as part of the meaningful work our team does each day.

Thank you for supporting a social enterprise that creates opportunities for adults with learning disabilities while producing beautiful handmade products. 🌿

🔥 Safety first… smiles second! 😄

Today the team swapped soap making for a fire drill! It’s all part of making sure everyone knows exactly what to do in an emergency, helping keep our workplace safe for our participants, staff and visitors.

As you can see, there were plenty of smiles once everyone was safely outside! 👋
Well done to everyone for taking it seriously and working together so brilliantly. Now… back to making lovely Shetland toiletries! 🧼💜

There’s something special about a handmade soap that’s been crafted and wrapped with care. 💚

Today we’re shining a spotlight on one of our Supported Employees, Daryn, as he prepares our popular Shetland Seaweed Soap for the shelves.

Made with nourishing cocoa butter, coconut oil and sustainable palm oil, this refreshing bar is scented with spearmint and juniper essential oils for a clean, invigorating fragrance inspired by the sea and shorelines of Shetland. 🌊

Every bar purchased helps support meaningful work opportunities for adults with learning difficulties, making each soap a product with purpose.
