Petala Soaps are made locally in Bourton on the Water using a traditional cold-process method from vegetable based oils. Pure essentials oils are blended and then added to recipes created by myself, giving each bar of soap its own unique fragrance. No chemicals are used; making these natural soaps kinder to your skin and less drying. I make the soaps in small batches, which includes hand-cutting into individual bars. Each bar of soap is cured for at least four weeks before being personally handwrapped.
