Going Green at Home

With all the change that the summer is bringing, I wonder if it’s time to change my attitude about house keeping?

Self care and connecting to the past.

The act of preparing something, whether it is making a soap, mixing a face mask or simply sharpening a pencil, that you will apply to your skin, to your body, with a delicate tool or your hands, cannot only reconnect you to your shape, to your texture, and to yourself, but can also be a source of strength and joy.

Naturally Simple

Shepherd’s Cottage Soaps is an artisan soap and body care business situated on the Scottish Island of Lismore. All our products are handmade in small batches by traditional methods, using only the best quality ingredients with no artificial fragrances or preservatives and are SLS and paraben free.

We aim to have all our packaging be plastic free by 2021, but in the meantime, the packaging on the soap bars is 100% compostable and everything else is either re-usable, recyclable or carefully sourced and kept to a minimum.
