Reviews

  • So delighted you're making more oaty goodness. It is the best moisturiser for my cranky eczema skin. Cannot recommend it enough. Any cranky skinned people should give it a go! Thank you Gillian @beyondthefernss xxx

    talking about So Oatsome

  • Well I've been using Sláinte and the honey one. Love them both. The skin feels great and good for the beard too. Plus I feel clean after. Like not just a moisturising soap, one that cleans also.

    talking about Honey Coconut + Sláinte

  • I second this review!! My skin has never been softer. My 3 and 1.5 year old absolutely love washing they're hands with your soap now. So much so one tried to eat it it's so yummy!!! Will 100% be ordering again when we run low xx

    talking about Lavender Hill

  • Hey Gillian meant to get back to you about the soaps. I love em. Feel like a nicer smelling man is following me around the house. Definitely the best posh soap I've ever used. Fair play

    talking about Sweet Honey Bee + Mint Cleanse

  • It is really good Gillian, the exfoliating sensation is very pleasant!! I'm truly loving it!

    talking about Black Coffee

  • The rose / geranium is the best soap I've ever used.. I also bought two boxes, for presents, small and large and was going to break into one of them if I could not contact you !! May I have 4 bars please

    talking about Floral Breeze

  • Hi Gillian just wanted to let you know again just how much we love your soaps. I love the way I can smell the beautiful oils for ages after washing my hands. ****** absolutely adores them. She used to try to get away with washing her hands but now I find her in the bathroom washing her hands with such joy. Also they last so long much to her disappointment.

    talking about Lavender Hill

  • I'm absolutely in love with these soaps. I've been on a journey to try and use less plastic at home and starting with bathroom products was a good place to start. The smell of these soaps are amazing with out being overwhelming. The scents after I take a shower lingers pleasantly. I also feel my skin feels softer and moisturised after I use them and the need to apply cream has lessened.

  • I've been using Gillian's soap since the beginning of the year, even in washing my hair and will never go back to the usual products. Skin and scalp is so good since getting away from that chemical cray. Keep up the good work and I'll be onto you soon for another order.
