A Little Celebration for International Women’s Day + Autumn Skincare Reminders

March is here, which means summer is on its way out, and we’re heading into that lovely in-between season—Autumn. It’s also the month we celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8th), a day to reflect on how far we’ve come and appreciate the incredible women in our lives (including ourselves!).

For me, March is extra special because it reminds me of those sweet childhood memories when my dad would surprise my mom and me with beautiful flowers, usually hyacinth being spring in Europe. It’s a lovely tradition that reflects Europe’s cultural love for woman and symbolizes respect and appreciation for all that they do.

To mark the occasion, we’re doing a little something special—15% off for one day only, on March 8th, for all orders placed through our website. Just use the code SELFCARE15 at checkout. It’s a little reminder to take time for yourself, because self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.

Something New: Goat Milk & Lavender Soaps!

Since we’re all about nourishing and caring for the skin, we’re excited to introduce two new soap bars to our collection!

🌿 Goat Milk Soap – Made with lavender, lavandin, and patchouli essential oils, this bar is gentle, creamy, and perfect for keeping your skin soft as the weather cools. Goat milk is naturally rich in vitamins and helps to hydrate and soothe the skin.

💜 Lavender Soap with Purple Clay – Coming in mid March. A beautifully calming and skin-loving soap, crafted with a nourishing blend of coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, and sunflower oil. Infused with purple clay and kaolin clay, this gentle yet effective bar helps to cleanse, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin while maintaining its natural moisture. Scented with soothing lavender essential oil, it’s the perfect way to bring a little relaxation into your daily routine.

How to Keep Your Skin Happy This Autumn

With the seasons shifting, it’s a good time to check in on your skin. If you’ve noticed your skin feeling a bit different lately, you’re not imagining it! The change in weather brings drier air, cooler nights, and often a little more time spent indoors. Here are a few things to keep in mind as we settle into autumn:

Your skin might need a little extra hydration.

That lightweight summer moisturizer? Might not cut it anymore. Autumn is when skin starts craving richer textures to help lock in moisture, especially as humidity levels drop. If your face or hands are feeling a bit tight or dry, now’s the time to switch things up.

Hands take a beating this time of year.

Between cooler air and all the extra handwashing, it’s no surprise that hands start feeling rough or even cracking as we move into autumn. If that’s you, don’t forget to keep something nourishing nearby—like our Nourishing Hand Cream—your skin will thank you for it.

Long showers and hot baths feel amazing—but can be drying.

There’s nothing better than stepping into a steamy shower when the mornings get crisp, but hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. If you love a long soak, try adding something moisturizing to the mix, like our Mineral Milk Bath Soak or a rich body butter afterward, like our Olive Body Butter, to keep your skin feeling soft.

Essential oils = instant cosy vibes.

Scents can really set the mood for the season, and autumn is the perfect time to bring in those warm, grounding essential oils. Think sweet orange, lavender, or even a little cinnamon. Whether it’s in a candle, diffuser, or your skincare routine, these scents make everything feel a little more comforting.

A Quick Studio Update

We’ve been so excited to get started on our new studio space, but like all good things, it’s taking a little longer than planned! Work has been delayed, but we’re hoping to get things moving by mid-March. Fingers crossed! We’ll keep you updated as things progress.
