Soft Wash Powder To Gel Starter Pack

Our innovative formulation took years to perfect!

Our palm oil free sodium coco-sulfate (not to be confused with SLS and SLES) has a rich, fluffy foam with superior cleansing power. Its large particles make it gentle - it can't penetrate your skin barrier which is what causes irritation in usual sulphates like SLS. We also use cocamidopropyl betaine as a secondary surfactant to further enhance the softness.

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is a humectant, binding and holding water in the skin, softening and protecting by improving your skin barrier and hydration levels. We've added a chelator which binds to the metal ions in tap water (especially good for hard water) to soften it and make it skin friendly. Our gum blend assists in keeping skin soft and hydrated too.

Our three unique and evocative scents based in essential-oils have been expertly blended in-house for their aromatherapeutic properties. Unlike commercial washes which have strong synthetic fragrances which get under your skin and irritate, ours do your skin good and your nose even better!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The fragrance we use is actually natural isolates and they’re used only for jasmine and honeysuckle, in very small amounts blended into the rest of the essential oils. Even though they are naturally made they must be listed as ‘parfum’ on the INCI list. The essential oil absolutes from these flowers are incredibly expensive and really unsustainable (most perfumers even use the isolates rather than the pure extracts). You would need tonnes of the precious flowers just for a few kilos of pure absolute oil. Trust us, we hate the smell of synthetics too - these don’t smell synthetic, on the contrary they smell incredible!

  • Yes absolutely. Use the starter pack to decide which scents are your favourite then set your subscriptions over on our refills page.

  • Our bottle is the right capacity for the ingredients of the sachet, has a wide neck for ease of use and the silicone non-slip base to allow handling when hot. If you really wanted to use your own bottle you could make the Soft Wash up in a beaker with 350ml of boiled water and pour into the bottle of your choice after it's cooled.

  • A valid question and there are a few reasons.
    1. We couldn't source an aluminium bottle with a wide neck - enough to facilitate pouring the sachet into. Aluminium is prohibitively expensive to get custom designed.
    2. Thin aluminium is much hotter when boiled water is poured into it, so this makes it difficult to handle.
    3. The essential oils tend to react differently to aluminium and changed scent and colour over time in our tests.

The nicest scent!

I love all the scents but Byron Bay is super special. It's a beautiful body wash, not drying at all (I have very sensitive skin). My bathroom smells amazing after I use it :)

Epic!

So lovely. The first time I used it I almost didn't want to wash the soap off because it smelled so lovely. Such a great idea as well!

Not as ‘soft’ as I was hoping :/

I was excited for this but it left my skin feeling dry and tight which, especially for the price, is quite disappointing :(

Its also disappointing that it’s not even reducing waste as the packaging isn’t compostable or even recyclable.

Hi William, sorry to hear you found your skin tight after using Soft Wash. It has many more hydrating ingredients than regular formulas so I'm surprised (and it's the first time) to hear this! Regarding the 'reducing waste' aspect, the waste reduction in using this product is: 1 new bottle not wasted for each sachet, 500g thereabouts of carbon emissions from heavy shipping not wasted for each sachet, reductions in the manufacturing process by not producing a new bottle or heavy liquid product... so there is actually so much waste reduction. The sachet is a small percentage and it is explained on the product page why we had to use a material that isn't compostable. Nothing is perfect. We have to make gains where we can or else nothing changes.

Daily indulgence

This powder to gel wash is absolute luxury; a little bit of pampering we can all fit into our day. Skin feels soft and moisturised after using and the gorgeous fragrance lingers long after your shower is over.

Favourite!

I have been using the new soft wash in the shower and also for generally when washing my hands in the sink. For starters, the bottle itself is so sleek and practical and setting the powder to gel up was easy and quick. The scents are phenomenal and it really does leave my skin feeling smooth, clean and moisturised. An amazing multi purpose wash!
