Our beginning

It started with a bar of soap

In 2019, Kimberley set out to make something gentle enough for sensitive, eczema-prone skin. That first batch of vegan soap grew into candles, wax melts and everything since — still designed, poured and packed by hand in Cape Town, not a factory.

A small brand, made with intention.
