Better When Wet!

Last piece of the jigsaw in locally sourced ingredients,
falls into place.

The ethos of our company is to source local ingredients where possible: So with the impending launch of our new “Natural Collection” of soaps, we have secured our main ingredient supplier, right on our door step. One of the main ingredients in Soap is unbelievably Water!
So The Natural Skincare & Soap Co are pleased to announce that, all of our soaps will now be made using Natural Cornish Spring Water, from right here in Bodmin. Yes that’s right, Trekillick Farm on the outskirts of Bodmin is home to a company called Just Water Ltd.
The water is protected from any possible contamination from surface water, the water is filtered in the most natural way, making its way to the surface from deep under the Cornish hills, becoming enriched with minerals as its passes through the rocks.

Our supplier, Just Water Ltd is a family run business from a farm on the outskirts of Bodmin,  Just Water was another product born out of the crisis in farming. “With dairy farming at such a low in 2000, they looked at how they could boost their income on the farm by diversification,” Tests on the farm’s spring water returned excellent results and the family began to bottle it in 2002. They now produce around 1.5 million bottles a year.
Just Water has a very strict environmental policy, which is another reason that we decided to use their product. They keep their packaging to a minimum by using shrink film only and no cardboard trays or boxes and being local, means that product mileage is kept to a minimum.
The name Just Water was chosen because that is exactly what is in it - just natural spring water. The quality and purity of the water comes from deep under the Cornish countryside, becoming filtered through and enriched with minerals, as it makes its way to the surface.

Why Not Just Use Tap Water?

Well Tap water sometimes has various chemicals added to it; it also has a habit of becoming discoloured through Iron, along with a strong fluoride taste at times. So the water quality although drinkable, is not always perfect. But the “Natural Spring Water” from Just Water is tested by Trading Standards to check its quality. These checks take place throughout the year on a regular basis. It is also free from any potential discolouration and any other chemicals.

The Natural Skincare & Soap Co prides itself on being just that “Natural”, by combining Just Water’s Spring Water into our handmade soaps; we have a final product that will be 100% Natural, after it has finished curing, and truly Cornish!
