Serum in a Tin

We have decided to offer our Luxury Organic Serum to you all in a tin because...

  • Customers said that they would happily put a tin in their handbag...but would think twice before putting a bottle in there in case it broke or the cork came out.

  • The tins are a lot cheaper than the bottles so we can give you more product for the same price.

  • We want to get away from glass as a lot of it is made from sand extracted from UK beaches.

...and because we think that they look nice! We will be selling the little bottles until the stocks have gone, to find out more about our organic serums amazing properties and how it can benefit your skin go to http://www.bellinghamsoapcompany.co.uk/userimages/procart19.htm

We have a new kitten.

Please allow me to introduce you Fizzgig, a poor little foundling that no one wanted...she is the perfect menace and won't let our old cat have a minutes peace!

Autumn Fair NEC

We have just exhibited at the autumn Fair. We met lots of lovely people and took a good fair few orders, all in all we are very pleased....


New Tins

I have redesigned the packaging for the Natural Moisturisers, instead of a glass jar with an alu lid I've gone for a complete alu tin which means that I have had to slightly jig the gift boxes too...I think they look even nicer, I hope you like them.

Free Gift

I'm giving away a "Natures' Soapdish" with every purchase on my website http://www.bellinghamsoapcompany.co.uk/ these lovely 10-12cms scallop shells make the perfect soap dish, well drained soap lasts longer and keeps it fragrance better.
The shells are ethically harvested in UK waters...so much nicer than cheap pine soap savers that go mouldy in no time!

Funny Old Week Pt2

We have had a lot of trouble with our broadband and telephone service for about 2 weeks, BT engineers have popped over, fiddled about and mused on how difficult it is to fix an intermmitent fault.
I share a line with my only neighbour, he (Daniel) was out walking his dogs and found a sorry sight at the bottom of my garden, the access post had been smashed and the cables were lying on the surface...how did the engineers miss this? I'm pleased to say that after Daniel sent the picture to BT they came and fixed it tout de suite!

Funny Old Week!

It has indeed been a funny old week here at the farmhouse, easily the most scary was the exploding power cables in the garden. We had been experiencing power dips/trips for about 2 weeks and we could hear a wierd buzzing sound that we couldn't place...then flash, bang, wallop the power went out! My son actually heard them go, he said it was a tremendous crackling sound then a big bang, he was half asleep and thought he'd dreamt it!
I went out to phone the power company, I have to walk down the end of the drive to get a signal on my mobile phone, that's when I saw the live cable whipping around in the wind and rain...eek! NEDL were brill...they came out within the hour and had our power restored in about 2hrs in appalling weather...well done boys!

Skin Secret - Organic Luxury Serum

Introducing our new virtually oil free all natural rejuvenating plant nutrient fluid with organic sea buckthorn, calendula, collagen and a very secret blend of essential oils.
Our new plant fluid has taken three years to develop, it is oil light (only 5%) yet nutrient rich! Sea Buckthorn promotes cell rejuvenation and is a known anti-inflammatory, Calendula oil is a prized for its healing properties and is good for sensitive skin, Collagen imparts greater elasticity, more resilience and a youthful look to skin through its moisture-binding action. Our blend of essential oils compliments the properties of the active ingredients and help to instil a sense of well being. The carefully chosen ingredients protect and moisturise whilst giving a slight temporary lifting effect...this makes it the perfect under make-up base.
It comes in a 50ml glass bottle with sweet little cork and a tied jute closure.
