What our customers say
Love my Skunk tote! Such good quality, perfect size for everyday or travelling and looks really stylish. I get compliments on it constantly.
Hannah Carter-Gordon
My eczema was really bad because of the cold weather I stopped using the steroid creams as they thin the skin, and the balm worked so well on my hands. It's like a miracle balm for me.
Amy Lord
Adore this soap! Beautiful, subtle fragrance and genuinely moisturising for my dry skin, which is hard to find. Love the clean ingredients and the integrity of the process. A non-negotiable in my daily cleansing
Jess Sarsfield-Desai
I've been using the tea towels for a year and they're really durable and absorbent. Definitely recommend.
Cyrus Dalal
Great size tote bag, very useful! I've taken it everywhere. Better for its clips and zippered pockets.
Shun Ito
Skunk’s handbalm has a permanent spot in my skincare routine. A little goes a long way and leaves my hands supple. Can’t live without it!

Our soaps are made using the traditional cold process method with natural oils and butters. Our hand balms are formulated with shea butter, kokum butter, coconut oil, beeswax and thistle oil, and scented with essential oil blends rather than synthetic fragrance. Because we use beeswax in our balms and candles, these items are not suitable for a vegan lifestyle.
