I created Speedwell Nature in 2020 during the lockdowns.  Working as a professional singer, singing teacher and choir leader - work just came to a grinding halt!  I had been making soap for myself and my family for a few years, so decided to set this up as a business to run alongside my music career.

 

I create lovely, natural handmade soap, as well as handmade jewellery made with recycled silver.  All  in the village of Cranleigh in Surrey, at the foot of the Surrey Hills (an area of outstanding natural beauty -AONB).

​

Speedwell Nature soaps are:

 

• completely free of chemicals (yes, really - because sodium hydroxide used to create lye when mixed with water, is no longer present once the soap has saponified),

• free of preservatives

• and are only coloured using  botanical dye plants or natural clays. 

• they are also scented using only essential oils. 

• the added extra about Speedwell's soaps is that they look gorgeous as they're made in small batches using beautiful moulds.  This makes using the soap a luxurious lathering and moisturising experience!

​

There's also as little waste in Speedwell products as it's possible to have, although there are certain legal requirements to follow.  Do use the soap though, even though it's pretty!
