CHRISTMAS SOAP | ORANGE, CINNAMON & CLOVE
Capture the nostalgic fragrance of Christmas with our limited-edition festive soap. Sweet orange, warming cinnamon and aromatic clove create a beautifully spiced citrus blend. Handcrafted with olive oil, coconut oil and nourishing shea butter, and superfatted for additional conditioning, it gently cleanses while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable.

BLACK SEED BALM
A deeply nourishing botanical balm formulated with black seed oil (Nigella sativa), naturally rich in thymoquinone and other antioxidant compounds. Its rich, conditioning formula helps soften, comfort and protect dry skin, making it a versatile addition to your daily skincare ritual.
