If you read my June Newsletter, you’ll know I’ve recently taken up swimming to help me transition through menopause.

I love being in water & Wild swimming isn’t always an option so I’ve joined the local fitness pool.

And honestly, it’s helping.

I love being in water. I love the rhythm of swimming…

The only downside is the chlorine.

So, of course, my maker’s brain has got to work.

For the past three weeks or so, I’ve been attempting to formulate a new Shampoo, Body Wash & Shower Bar designed especially for after swimming — something to help cleanse away pool-water residue, soften the feel of hair and skin, and make that post-swim shower feel much more nourishing.

I’ve been researching all the ingredients known to help address chlorine, chlorine odour, and mineral build-up, and I’ve chosen the Vitamin C route.

The key ingredient I’m working with is Sodium Ascorbate — a buffered form of Vitamin C that is gentler and considerably more stable than pure Ascorbic Acid.

But formulation is never quite as simple as “adding new exciting ingredients and hoping for the best.”

This bar has had several hurdles to leap.

Stability. Texture. Hardness. Lather. pH. Skin feel. Hair feel. Shelf life. The way the bar hardens & dries. The way it behaves once all the ingredients meet each other.

Several attempts later, this is the newest formulation — and the learning has been so interesting and useful that I’ll be borrowing some of what I’ve discovered to improve my existing shampoo bar recipes too.

Alongside Sodium Ascorbate, I’m using two newer natural-origin ingredients in this swim bar:

Dissolvine — a natural chelating ingredient to help support stability and performance over time.

1,3-Propanediol — a plant-derived humectant and solvent that helps bring softness, slip, and moisture without relying on water molecules.

I have also increased the percentage of conditioning ingredients to help protect the hair & leave it and the skin feeling soft.

It’s still in development, but I’m getting closer.

More to follow. 🏊🏼

If wishes were true, I’d wish I could pass this balm filled wooden pod through the screen.

I’d place one of these little wooden pods into your hand so you feel what my words can’t quite express..

The soft scent of pure vanilla..
The creamy richness of cupuaçu seed butter and shea. The sun ripened nourishment of pomegranate seed extract.
The smooth, comforting weight of our wooden balm pods made slowly, intentionally by hand the old way..

Vanilla Comfort Balm is not a ritual you will ever want to rush.

It is a soft nudge.
A whisper.
A hug for the senses. A comforting reminder that this moment needs nothing from you. You can rest deeply, this is your time to restore.

Moments like this are gentle reminders for the mind to pause, for your shoulders to drop, your brow to release, breathing to deepen, and your thoughts to pull away back to all that is.

There is something deeply earthing & grounding while holding our wooden balm pods. The scent & feel of the wood, wrapped around the seed butter, the scent, synergy for your skin. A deepening connection with the energy of Nature, her forests & jungles, rivers & oceans all under the same Sun, and the incredible honour of being human on this uniquely extraordinary planet.

When we find ways to stop reaching for the next thing and just rest within simplicity & the pause that waits for us inside each precious moment, then reality can become quietly nourishing again.

I took some new photos today of the truly wonderful Sunshine for Skin Whole Body Balm.

It’s wonderful because this whole body balm exists to help Hormonal skin that is feeling dry & tight, dull & lifeless glow again with its innate iridescence.

It does this by combining wild harvested Cupuaçu seed butter with its ability to hold up to 4 X its own weight in water helping the skin to retain moisture & increase its humidity together with the protective qualities of Shea butter, Pomegranate extract & the star of the show…. 1% Bakuchiol Sytenol A.

There are 2 types of Bakuchiol. The Expressed Oil & the purified extract. Both come from the Psoralea corylifolia plant but only one of these extracts has my approval & it’s the only one I’ll ever use in my formulas.

Sunshine for skin completely rescued my menopausal skin, now it feels silky soft, comforted & deeply nourished.

I chose to pour it into a light weight, forever recyclable metal pod for practical purposes. This Whole Body Butter Balm is a whopping 250g without the pod. This makes it light weight to ship & light weight to carry around too. It’s a skin saviour so I figured it’s purely practical.

I’ve kept the price practical too at just £75 for 250g this Balm has been created to give your skin everything it needs to do what it has evolved to do which is protect you, but our skin is not without its vulnerabilities and so it needs our protection too..

A studio moment of spontaneous joy 🌿

I was walking from the chiller back to my making table when I glanced down and these freshly made, just set balms stopped me in my tracks.

So fresh with the quiet magic of being handmade in their own secret tiny batch… these are the moments only I see.

I grabbed my phone and took this photo because this is what small-batch skincare really looks like behind the scenes.

No pro photographer. No design team. No polished studio set-up.

Just me and the deep pleasure & privilege of making nourishing skincare rituals, freshly made, just for you.

As a one-woman business, I do all my own photography, graphics, labels, formulating, making and packing and often times the most beautiful images are the ones that happen by accident, occasionally I get to snap it…

This casual moment captures the handmade love that goes into everything that I do… and not just me but all the artisans in the world, making magic happen day by day 🌿🌸🤸🏽‍♀️

Thank you for choosing us, your support is very deeply felt.

As the maker, I find it very difficult to get the distance needed to talk/write about the products I make in a way that communicates what they truly are, what they do, without sounding too much … well.. like the maker.

After all, we are expected to advertise & promote our products from a sales perspective. Heart & Soul is a bit too fluffy. Passion is over rated. Truth is certainly not a requirement because Selling is the art of magnification. Magnifying the elements of a product that people want to see & will want to buy.

This is why, I am great at what I do.. Making. And not at all good at Selling.

But all this nonsense ceases to be important when you find your people, when you find your community.

It doesn’t matter if you only reach a tiny number of people, if the people who stop & read & see you - get you completely.

This is how I grow & keep going. 80% of all orders are repeat customers, a great many of whom have become my friends, my community.

I don’t run ads, I refuse to enrich Meta. I will never chase you around the internet with Pop Up Ads- it’s just not who I am.

If you happen to stumble across my page, or find me by word of mouth & love what I do, then this is my purpose met.

I’d much rather gift my community & this is what I do.

I have been pondering this for several months & after a particularly busy day in the study making Shampoo Bars my hands finally through the gauntlet down & demanded change. So I have begun to transition the Shampoo Bars back to pouring into trays which means I will be hand cutting them again like I used to several years ago.

I’m excited because it will mean one big pour instead of 24 or 48 small pours & it also means I can begin playing more with colours & swirls again, something I have really missed.

This sample batch isn’t 100% perfect, I need a little bit of practice & the weights vary by 16g or so with the smallest weighing 130g & the largest weighing 146g but I am so happy to have finally made the decision to make this change. My work can be really heavy & all the lifting whilst giving me toned arms & biceps has begun to make my hands hurt due to the gradual hormonal shifts curtesy of the beloved menopause.

Whilst on the topic of improvements & changes, I am close to deciding to increase the number of Upcycled ingredients I use. Currently our Organic Raspberry, Pomegranate & Amaranth CO2 Extracts are all full circle/upcycled ingredients but I would like to use more UK grown upcycled ingredients in my recipes. I am also exploring other ideas too & I would absolutely LOVE to hear yours.

❓Do you live (or loathe) the idea of a personalised subscription box service❓

❓Is there a product you wish I would make or make again❓

❓Do you wish the Bounce Caffeine Shampoo Bar came in different options such as Unscented? Or in a Minty Citrus option..❓

I’d love to hear your thoughts about these ideas AND if you have read this far…. (You are an angel!)

Also, if you have read this far. You can save 20% off everything - up until midnight (UK time) tonight (Sunday 31/6/26) only on our Etsy Shop.

With my love & gratitude for all your support, it really is felt very deeply 🌿🌸🥰

I’m only really learning the importance of Rest for the very first time now that I am 54 yrs old. As a busy, non stop Mother, Grandmother, Business owner & Artisan manufacturer, I love my life & I love my work (for the most part) but I can no longer ignore the rhythm of my own nature.

We call it the menopause but it’s so much more than simply the end of the something. It is a new beginning & an entirely brand new way of being & it takes time & energy to learn how to be in this changing body.

I want to honour this transition without feeling ashamed or guilty.

I want to nurture & nourish my body & my wellbeing without feeling like I’m failing my business & failing at life.

I see a lot of desperate exhaustion on social media, people trying to show up as their best selves, even when they feel depleted. I know! I have been that business owner, desperately trying to convince myself that I can do everything if I just push a little harder.

Not anymore 🌿🌸🙏

Rest when you need to rest.

This is a small part of the story of our Cedar wood pods.

These have been a beloved part of the Natural Wisdom story since 2014.

Part of my belief that in daring to do some things differently we can make a positive difference, be an important part of the solution & a smaller part of the problem. By helping to change conventional beliefs perhaps we can help to bring about quiet realisations, awakenings, revolutions..

Our luxury Self care products don’t need to come wrapped & packaged in plastic, made in factories or destined for landfill. We can go back to a time when nature & natural was luxury, before harsh cheap products filled with artificial colours & fragrances were splashed all over our Televisions in expensive Ads.

No one has ever been able to improve the smells & colours of nature so they created a multi billion industry & £€$¥ ads to brain wash us into thinking they had.

“Nature laughs in flowers” (Emerson)

While huge beauty industry corporations make millions from destroying your connection with nature by quietly changing how we identify with it.

This is my rebellion.

The Organic Vanilla CO₂ extract has finally arrived after weeks of delay 🌿

This is the exact same premium Vanilla CO₂ I use in my own skincare products and solid perfumes.

Real organic vanilla extract is very precious & expensive — and for good reason. It takes around 18 kg of Vanilla beans to make just 1 kg of finished extract.

This is pure Vanilla planifolia CO₂ extract, with a massive 26% aromatic vanillin, giving it a potently rich creamy, resinous, beautifully rounded Bourbon vanilla aroma.

Not synthetic.
Not diluted.
Just Extraordinary.

Real, precious, botanical Vanilla.

To help me continue to afford this extraordinary ingredient, I am making small quantity available in small affordable quantities - for DIY natural perfumery, cosmetic formulation, lip balms and food grade flavour work.

Each order includes the full batch of documents: CoA, SDS/MSDS and specification sheet.

The scent of real vanilla is pure comfort, penetrating warmth and quiet natural luxury. 🌿

I have more on the way just in case experiences another delay so hopefully this won’t be out of stock again.

If you are interested in purchasing this, you will find it on my Etsy shop. 🌿✨💛
