Skin

Made here

Cold pressed rosehip with a little sea buckthorn. Three drops at night is plenty, which is why one bottle lasts a season.

Melts on the skin and takes the day off with it. Rinses with a cloth, no sting around the eyes.

Thicker than it looks. Shea and squalane, unscented, for the months when the wind comes off the hills.

Beeswax and castor. One for the bag, one for the bedside, because the bag one always goes missing.

New

A dry scent that sits close. Cedar first, black pepper under it, gone by evening in the best way.

Picked at night, which is when it actually smells of anything. Sweet without being sugary.

Pick a day and a time; the shop confirms by phone or WhatsApp.

A counter with a workroom behind it.
