Made in Australia, From Our Oil

Plenty of soap is sold as natural on the strength of the packaging. Ours is easier to check than that.

Wattle Grove is a family owned farm at Buckleboo in South Australia. We grow polybractea eucalyptus on our own land, harvest the leaf on farm and steam distil the oil on site. That oil goes into the soap bars, and the bars themselves are handcrafted in Australia in small batches.

Everything here is vegan, cruelty free and palm oil free, and the soaps are packaged in recyclable material rather than plastic.

How to Use a Body Scrub

Body scrub is one of those products people either use daily or never open. Neither is right. Exfoliating once or twice a week is enough for most skin. More than that and you strip the barrier faster than it rebuilds, which leaves skin drier than it was before you started.

  • 1

    Before a shave or fake tan Scrubbing first lifts dead skin so the razor or the tan has an even surface to work on. This is the single most useful time to use one.

  • 2

    In winter, not just in summer Skin goes dull and flaky when the air dries out and the showers get hotter. Winter is when a scrub earns its place.

  • 3

    Follow it with something rich Exfoliating opens the door, moisturising walks through it. A body oil or lotion straight after is what makes the difference.

  • 4

    Not on broken or irritated skin Wait until it has settled. A scrub on already sore skin makes it worse.

Wattle Grove Soothe Cleaning Body Bar

Soap Bars and Bath Soaks

A bar of soap is a bottle of body wash with the water and the plastic taken out. That is most of the argument for it, and it holds up.

Ours are handcrafted rather than machine pressed, which is why they have oatmeal in them for texture rather than a synthetic exfoliant. Kept on a holder so they drain between uses, a bar will outlast the bottle it replaced.

The bath soaks are a different job entirely. They are for the twenty minutes at the end of a day when you actually stop, and they are best run under a warm tap rather than a hot one so the scent lifts with the steam.
