Made slowly, on purpose.

Violet & Vine began at a kitchen table with one stick blender and a stubborn refusal to put anything on our skin we couldn't pronounce.

Today we still make everything in small batches — usually twelve bars at a time — because that's the size where you can smell when a blend is right.

Four steps, eight weeks, no shortcuts

Source

Olive, coconut and shea oils, plus botanicals from growers we can name.

Blend

Essential oils and clays only — no fragrance oils, no synthetic colour.

Cure

Six full weeks on the rack so bars are hard, mild and long-lasting.

Wrap

Kraft paper, twine and a handwritten note. Nothing plastic leaves the studio.

What we will never do

  • No palm oil, ever.
  • No synthetic fragrance or dye.
  • No plastic in the packaging or the post.
  • No batch we haven't used at home first.
