We have two very clever people here in Hokitika making soaps from natural products.
They look amazing, smell delicious and are beautiful products to use. You can buy direct from the makers on their websites or you can talk to them face to face at the Revell Street market on Saturday mornings. The Hokitika I-site also stocks some of the products.
Check them out!
"Handmade Rustic Soap from New Zealands West Coast. Its all about SOAP...well mostly.
We specialize in Cold Process Soaps and strive to keep the ingredients list as simple and easy to find as possible.
Living on the "Wild West Coast" we are fortunate and incredibly privileged to enjoy Mother Nature at her best, like a "Child" we thrive, surrounded by her pure magnificence and perfection.
I am constantly inspired by the "Wild West Coast". The breath taking beauty, the extremes, the grandeur, the natural resources, the rawness of nature, the rustic, the perfection in all things great and small, the whimsical characters and the huge resilience and resourcefulness of the people living here.
Soaps can be one of two things: Complicated or Simple.
The complicated version is often mass produced with cheap ingredients and full of synthetic chemicals, palm oil, artificial colorants and cheap mass produced fragrances.
The simple version is as easy as Olive Oil, Lye and Water. We love things to be simple!" The Crafty Chook.
