Happy New Year to all our customers, past present and in the future. We hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We have enjoyed the rest but are very excited to start working on our new fragrance candles and soaps.

I have just added the Highland Mist soy wax candle to the website. I had to try it as it reminds us of a recent holiday in Scotland. We will smell this during the drab winter months to remind us of the lovely time we had on holiday.
Do you have a special fragrance which reminds you of a special holiday?

After making a very small batch of Myrrh & Tonka soy wax candles 190g, The small batch sold out straight away, so we have decided to introduce it into our range of candles.
This myrrh & Tonka soy wax candle 190g with a sweet oriental accord opening with top notes of lemon, grapefruit and bergamot, middle notes of magnolia, rose, lily, jasmine and plum and base notes of cedar, amber, patchouli, myrrh, tonka bean, orchid, vanilla and musk.

We have had so many orders for our Dirty Hands Soap over the last couple of weeks. Our Dirty Hands soap is made to our own special receipe, including pumice, to gently clean dirty hands.
I can personally recommend this soap, I tidied the garden at the weekend and it cleaned my hands perfectly.
It can also be used to clean dirty hands from other tasks as well.

We will be at our first market this year on Saturday from 9.30am – 2pm. We are very much looking forward to it and hope the weather will be sunny.
We will have a wide selection of handmade soaps, including our new one, Lavender & Mint. It is a very refreshing soap to use and is very mind to skin.
We will also have a selection of soy wax candles including some new ones, Myrrh & Tonka, Daisy Daisy and Wood Sage & Sea Salt.
See you there and remember social distancing!




We are changing the packaging of our soap bars in early 2021. We will be packing them in recyclable kraft boxes. This will make it much quick er to pack and also give my wrists a rest! I have packed thousands of bars of soap over the last 11 years and now I have RSI in my wrists. I think the boxes look good and are in keeping with our ethos of using recyclable packaging. The 75g bars of soap will be discontinued and are offered at a reduced price on the website. www.cotswoldhandmadesoap.co.uk

I am very pleased to announce I have managed to get some 250ml bottles from my usual supplier at the normal price. Over the last few months it has been difficult to get these bottles, as they are being used for sanitizer.
I will be busy restocking this week and will add them to the website as soon as possible.
