Well, look who's been keeping it Real here for a whole year. 🎈

One year ago today, we shared Real Stuff's very first social media post.
Since then, there’s been a lot of laundry, a lot of soap, a Shampoo Bar joining the family and some very Real conversations.

So, we're celebrating one year of keeping it Real with a little something for you: 🎈 10% OFF REAL STUFF WASHING POWDER
Use code REALBDAY10 at checkout until Wednesday, 9 September.

If you've been meaning to try our salt-based Washing Powder - or your current tub is getting suspiciously light - this is your excuse. 😉

Thank you to everyone who has followed, shared, bought, tried or simply cheered us on along the way.
Here's to another year of keeping things simple, effective and kinder to us and the earth.

Let’s get REAL about… washing powder labels. 🧺

“Eco-friendly.” “Plant-based.” “Green.”
Nice words. But the real story is on the label.

Knowing what you’re bringing into your home - and what eventually goes down the drain - starts with knowing what’s actually in the product.

No chemistry degree required. Just turn the pack around, read, question and look up what you don’t recognise.

Because better choices start with knowing what you’re choosing.

Never tried a shampoo bar? Neither had Lynette. 💜
And now? “Worth trying!”
We’ll take that. 😉

It’s small, long-lasting, made with premium hair-loving ingredients that are non-toxic to humans and waterways, and it means less plastic waste in your bathroom too.

If you’ve been shampoo-bar curious, consider this your sign.

Made locally. Made with purpose. 💜
This Women’s Month, meet our new Shampoo Bar - and Ingrid, the woman behind Real Stuff who brought it to life.

When Ingrid decided to add a shampoo bar to the range, one of the biggest reasons was simple: less plastic waste. A smaller, longer-lasting alternative to another plastic bottle on the bathroom shelf.

Small but mighty, our Shampoo Bar is made with premium ingredients that are non-toxic to humans and waterways. And at around 80 washes per bar, this little purple powerhouse goes a long way.

The heavenly scent? Geranium essential oil - one of Ingrid’s personal favourites. Because when you make the stuff, you’re allowed choose your favourites. 😉

Less plastic. Really good hair. Made right here in SA with a whole lot of love and care.

Plastic? Never heard of her. 😉

Our washing powder comes in fully compostable tubes! No guilt, no greenwashing, just packaging that gives back to the earth. And when it looks this pretty, you’ll want to keep it on your shelf (it’s perfect for storing pegs).

Not all washing powders are created equal.
Ours is earth-friendly, works in hot or cold water, and comes in a compostable tube you can return to the earth. ♻️ 🌍

It’s made with natural mineral salts that actually break down in the environment - and clean your clothes without coating them in chemicals.

Re-use the compostable tube. Compost it. Store pegs in it. The point is, it’s not landfill-bound.

Ready for a natural upgrade to less waste, less packaging and better use of natural ingredients?

Dog blankets aren't exactly a gentle introduction to laundry.
Mud. Fur. Mystery smells. Repeat.
Luckily, our salt-based washing powder was built for real life, not showroom life.

No fake fragrances. No unnecessary extras. Just a simple, effective clean that's tough on dirt and kinder to your home, your family, and the planet.
Even Max approves. (And he's usually the cause of the problem.)
