The founder and creator of The Littlecote Soap Co. Elaine Stavart, gained initial inspiration for her business from a market in France where there was 'one stall with handmade soaps beautifully laid out like a pastel rainbow'.
Since that holiday Elaine has created a small empire of beautifully packaged natural handmade soaps, bath products, skin-care and toiletries all made with natural ingredients from her workshop and farm in the Buckinghamshire countryside.
Using both contemporary and traditional methods all the products are made in small batches in The Littlecote Soap Co's workshops to ensure the highest quality. Bath products are vegetarian-friendly, not tested on animals and are packaged with eco-friendly packaging.
Here we take a few moments out with Elaine whilst she takes a break from mixing up new ingredients and cutting soaps.
