From wild Scottish raspberry to lemongrass and ginger, these are just some of the ingredients used in the soap and skincare products from a family-run business based in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
The Highland Soap Company handmakes products in the workshop, nestled between the 13th century Old Inverlochy Castle and the River Lochy. Looking over the north face of Ben Nevis and with such a beautiful landscape it’s easy to see why it has been the source of inspiration for The Highland Soap Company’s products.
The soap is handmade by a centuries-old, traditional process which takes around four weeks to cure each carefully prepared batch. The cold-process soaps are mild and moisturising on sensitive, dry skin and organic and natural ingredients are used. Sustainable packaging in a small-scale batch process helps it to process perhaps the finest and most ethical soap and skincare products made in Scotland.
So, with Mother’s Day just around the corner, here are some of The Highland Soap Company’s perfect gifts for the occasion.
A bestselling organic soap made with raspberry seed oil and a fresh, fruity scent, the Organic Wild Scottish Raspberry Soap (150g) is priced £6.75.
