Hawthorn Berry Vegan Soap

Rich, exotic, and genuinely nourishing. This beautifully crafted vegan soap features solar-infused hawthorn berries in olive oil, combined with juniper and patchouli essential oils. It's deeply moisturising, packed with antioxidants, and offers that wonderfully grounding, woody scent that feels both sophisticated and natural.

Solar-infused hawthorn berries in olive oil:

This is traditional herbalism at its finest. Hawthorn berries are left to infuse in olive oil under sunlight, allowing the sun's energy to draw out their beneficial compounds over weeks. The result is oil rich in minerals, vitamins, and powerful antioxidants.

Hawthorn is treasured for its high flavonoid content - these compounds help protect skin from environmental damage, support circulation, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. The olive oil base adds its own nourishment, rich in vitamins E and K with deep moisturising properties.

This patient, sun-powered infusion process creates ingredients with exceptional quality - it's old wisdom meeting modern skincare.

Juniper essential oil:

Juniper brings fresh, woody, slightly resinous notes with natural astringent and detoxifying properties. It helps cleanse skin deeply whilst toning and refining texture. Known for helping balance oily skin and improve clarity, juniper has been used in traditional skincare for centuries.

The scent is crisp, clean, and grounding - reminiscent of walking through pine forests.

Patchouli essential oil:

Patchouli offers rich, earthy, exotic depth. It's brilliant for all skin types - helping balance oil production, improving skin texture, and supporting healing. The scent is warm, woody, and utterly distinctive - grounding and sophisticated rather than heavy.

Together with juniper, it creates this wonderfully balanced woody-exotic scent that's both calming and uplifting.

Why this combination works:

The solar-infused hawthorn provides deep antioxidant protection and nourishment. Juniper purifies and tones. Patchouli balances and refines. It's richly moisturising without being heavy, deeply cleansing without being harsh. That properly pampered, balanced feeling.

Perfect for anyone seeking antioxidant-rich skincare or who loves rich, exotic, woody scents that feel genuinely natural.
