Perfect pair!

I am going on a 5 week backpacking trip so packing space is limited, and liquids can cause a mess. I also have dehydrated skin that nowadays tend to be sensitive. I heard about solid skincare but honestly, I was sceptical. I purchased these products to give it a try...and I fell in love! It definitely took a bit of getting used to washing my face 'with soap' (which it isn't :) ), and moisturising my skin with something other than a cream or lotion, but the results are beautiful and my skin feels lovely and nourished. Even without the backpacking, this will become part of my daily skincare routine.

Great products

This set is great, so convenient in the travel sizes and easy to use. I love the simplicity of the cleanser being like a small soap bar and it leaves your skin so soft and comfortable. The moisturising balm is also amazing! A great base for makeup and super simple to apply.

Our range of bespoke accessories have been designed using sustainable materials with an emphasis on improving the performance and longevity of our skincare products.

Minimalist and understated, they not only enhance your solid skincare experience but look beautiful within the bathroom space.

We like to think so. We believe that our industry faces three key environmental challenges. Our solid state formulations allows us to tackle these challenges head on and without compromise.

We are zero plastic - our industry is responsible for over 120 billion units of plastic packaging each year. We recognise that we can’t recycle our way out of this problem and take a zero plastic approach to our skincare.

Our formulations are less that 0.5% water - up to 70% of traditional creams and lotions can be water despite 844 million people globally lacking access to clean, safe water. We never add water to our formulations.

Our skincare is palm oil free - over 70% of personal care products contain palm oil derived ingredients and this over reliance is strongly linked to deforestation and destruction of wildlife habitats and ecosystems. We choose to avoid palm oil altogether.
