Calendula tallow soap

Gentle, creamy, and naturally calming, this handmade soap combines organic grass-fed British tallow with calendula-infused olive oil for a cleanse that soothes without stripping the skin. Handmade and hand-cured in the UK, it is formulated for dry, sensitive, and easily irritated skin, and scented purely with lavender essential oil.

Why Calendula?

Calendula has been used for centuries to soothe inflamed, irritated, and compromised skin, thanks to its well-documented calming properties.

Infusing dried calendula flowers directly into olive oil draws out its full range of skin-loving compounds into the base of the soap itself.

Together with lavender, it makes this one of the most calming natural soap bars for sensitive and easily irritated skin.
