Nellie’s Patch is named after our pet cat, who wanders through her “patch”.
Our quintessential English garden is where we grow our herbs and flowers.

Rose petals, lavender, peppermint, calendula, rosemary and nettles are all used, and incorporated into the hand crafted, palm oil free soap. No artificial fertilizers or sprays are used to grow them. Our equines provide all the fertilizers we need!

Our handmade, natural soaps, which are palm oil free, have no nasties, no artificial colours, no parabens, and no sodium lauryl sulphate. Our plain soap (Totally Plain Soap) has no colour either.

Nellie's Patch soaps are as natural as possible and rich in shea butter, renowned for its moisturising properties, along with essential oils, herbs or flowers. Our kitchen is full of flowers we are drying, and the smell of fresh rose petals is divine. Many herbs have their own specific, helpful properties.

They are made using the traditional cold process and are left to mature, then packed by hand. You can be sure that this is a true artisan soap, made at home from start to finish. We do not buy in soaps and put our own label on them. Unlike others our palm oil free soap has good lathering properties.

Our soaps are all vegetarian and vegan, and are not tested on animals.
(However we do use it on Daisy our spaniel when she is very grubby!!)

We do not use any palm oil. We are concerned about the detrimental impact on the environment that a large percentage of palm oil production creates. The effects on wildlife, concern us. Orang-utan survival is at stake. Remember the “Orang-utan Diaries” and "Dying for a Biscuit" on the BBC? Then you will know why we do not use it!

We support International Animal Rescue, and donate 10p from every 100g bar, and £1.00 from every gift box sold. This will go to providing an Orang-utan sanctuary. You can read more about them and their brilliant work by clicking on their banner or the picture of the adorable Orang-utan, Montil below.
