GOT BUNS?
Hot Cross Buns, that is. Truth is that unless you make them yourself, they’re scarce in the USA....Tales talk about hanging hot cross buns in attics to guard against evil spirits – and being carried by sailors as protection against becoming shipwrecked.
Whilst we have evidence of many shipwrecks occurring historically off Borth Beach, we cannot in all honesty boast that our soaps protect from physical harm, or that they even contain currants or raisins for that matter! We can however state that our all-natural products keep you looking and smelling amazingly masculine.

Who remembers that line from the 1960s song? Well, let’s chat about the bees…BEESWAX in particular. It’s one of the most amazing ingredients we use! Bees have much to teach us, and what we learn from them may someday help slow down the aging process, cure addictions and troubleshoot some very real human problems.
The “man clean” that could be yours.

Evidence still exists on Borth Beach today of a sunken forest that legend records as dating back to the Bronze Age, but the history of soap and when it was first created is more recent – 2,800 B.C.! It’s linked to the Babylonians, who were possibly the first to blend animal/vegetable oils, water and wood/plant ash as a base for a cleaning compound. Sadly, most cleansing preparations made today are blended from chemicals and detergents that can harm and dry your skin. And the natural glycerin, which is created by combining oils, fats and ash together, is often removed by commercial soap companies...
