Bean & Boy

We started making soap for our family when our daughter developed a mild form of eczema that was made worse by commercially-produced soaps and washes. We spent months researching, and tried out loads of different recipes and combinations to find the ones that work for our daughter’s skin – and for us too. We settled on a combination of high quality ingredients, unfussy essential oil blends, and a slow soap-making process that is as close to the ancient traditional methods as possible. There’s nothing else added: no preservatives, no colourants, no fragrances and no additional heat to speed things up. The best things take time, and proper soap is worth waiting for. What started out as a necessity and family hobby quickly grew into a mini production line in our kitchen as friends and family started coming back for more. When they began “pre-ordering” before batches had cured, we knew we’d hit onto something special that we couldn’t keep to ourselves anymore. Since then we’ve had our soap recipes certified and we have introduced new combinations specifically targeted at problematic skin and household application. Our soaps are available through all of our amazing stockists across Europe, and are also available to buy online via our etsy store. We are working hard to turn our greatest dream into a reality, and we are so honoured to be able to share our soaps with you both online and in-store in our own little bricks and mortar shop in Westcliff-on-Sea.
