At Moonlit Naturals, every product we create comes from a real passion for self-care, nature, and mindful living. Our handmade soaps aren’t just another pretty bar on the shelf — they represent a return to natural, honest skincare.
But why did we decide to make our own soap in the first place? Why do we carefully choose every ingredient? And why do we believe switching from shop-bought soaps to handmade natural soap could be one of the best changes you make for your skin (and the planet)? Let’s dive in!
Why We Chose to Create Our Own Soap
Like many people, we spent years buying soaps from the supermarket without giving them much thought. It wasn’t until we started looking closer at the long, complicated ingredient lists, the synthetic fragrances, and the heavy use of chemicals, that we realised something needed to change.
We wanted soap that didn’t just clean but nourished the skin.
Soap that respects the environment.
Soap that felt authentic, simple, and honest.
And so, Moonlit Naturals Own Soap was born. Our goal was simple: to craft high-quality, handmade soap using natural ingredients that we’d be proud to use ourselves, and proud to offer to you.
The Ingredients We Trust (And Why)
When it comes to what we put into our soaps, only the best natural ingredients make the cut. Every element is chosen with purpose — no fillers, no harsh chemicals, and absolutely no shortcuts.
- Shea Butter: Rich in vitamins A and E, shea butter deeply moisturises and soothes dry, sensitive skin without clogging pores.
- Mango Butter: Lightweight and nutrient-rich, mango butter supports skin elasticity and adds a soft, silky finish.
- Cocoa Butter: Known for its healing properties, cocoa butter forms a protective layer that helps retain moisture.
- Jojoba Oil: Almost identical to the skin’s own natural oils, jojoba balances hydration and promotes a healthy, clear complexion.
- Essential Oils: Instead of synthetic perfumes, we scent our soaps naturally with pure essential oils like juniper berry, cedarwood, and black pepper, offering real aromatherapy benefits for the mind and body.
Every bar is also vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted without harsh detergents, sulfates, or parabens. Simply put, if we wouldn’t use it ourselves, it doesn’t go into our Own Soap.
How Our Handmade Own Soap Beats Shop-Bought Soap
You might be wondering: what’s the big difference between handmade soap and the ones you pick up at the supermarket?
Here’s why making the switch is worth it:
1. Natural Moisturisers vs. Chemical Detergents
Most mass-produced soaps are technically not even “soaps” — they’re classified as “detergents” because they rely on synthetic surfactants to clean. These ingredients often strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated, and in need of extra moisturiser.
Moonlit Naturals Own Soap, on the other hand, naturally cleanse without stripping the skin. The rich butters and oils moisturise as they clean, leaving you feeling fresh and hydrated.
2. Real Aromatherapy Benefits
Supermarket soaps usually contain artificial fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin or even trigger allergies. Our soaps are scented exclusively with essential oils, offering true therapeutic benefits like relaxation, stress relief, and skin balancing.
3. Eco-Friendly and Ethical
Our handmade soap is better for the environment, too.
- No harmful chemicals are going down the drain.
- No unnecessary plastic packaging.
- No animal testing.
Choosing handmade, eco-friendly soap is a small but powerful way to make a difference for the planet.
4. Supporting Real Craftsmanship
When you buy from Moonlit Naturals, you’re not just getting a bar of soap — you’re supporting a small business that truly cares. Each bar is crafted by hand in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, made with intention, passion, and love.
