We are Wild Sage + Co, a mother-and-daughter run small business that specialises in making natural soap and skincare products from our cottage in Hoarwithy, on the River Wye, in England, UK.
Our soap-making journey began in a small cabin on the outskirts of Bristol in 2011. Julie has always been averse to the chemicals and pollutants often found in commercial skincare and kitchen cleaning products, as well as to the unnecessary plastic packaging that inevitably ends up in the recycling box. So, our kitchen has always been overflowing with homemade cleaning products, tinctures and salves for skin. The next logical step for Julie was to learn the art of soap making.
