Why natural ingredients are the key

The ingredients in my products are the key to Castello de Haye, I started making soap initially as I was allergic to many high street soap and skincare. I am no chemist but I knew natural materials were what I wanted to use and what I wanted to work with.

.       

I am happiest in the workshop and really love working with and getting inspired by the natural ingredients all around us, the starting point for the soap is the spring water.

This is collected from the Castello de Haye Spring, a lovely outing everyday in all weathers, connecting with nature, walking in the grove listening to the birds, it is then distilled in the workshop, a slow process usually taking 4 hours.

This is the very beginning of the process of making the soaps and the Room Mist Sprays.
