Wee Bairns Newborn Baby Soap for Delicate and Sensitive Skin with Scottish Oats & Honey

Hi, I’m Alison and, as a busy mum of two children (and a dog!), I'm constantly washing my hands. During COVID-19, my hands and those of my (then) seven-year-old son bore the brunt of hand sanitisers and harsh soaps and our hands became extremely dry and cracked with bleeding dermatitis.

With a degree in aromatherapy and 26+ years professional clinical aromatherapy experience, I started experimenting with my natural oils and butters to make moisturising soaps, lotions, creams and balms for home use, testing and using them on my children. 

Taking inspiration from Scotland’s rich natural heritage and the garden plants which surround us, and with a passion for quality and sustainable ingredients, I source many from Scottish and British growers.  I launched my Scottish botanical skincare brand Castle Apothecary Scotland and 2 years in, I’m thrilled to share several products have won industry awards.

I intentionally do not use artificial foaming agents such as sodium laureth/laurel sulphates as they irritate my hands. Instead, I use eco-friendly and sustainable premium natural skin-loving ingredients, from seed to skin using oils and butters to natural botanicals and include locally sourced ingredients where possible. Each product is handcrafted in small batches in the Castle Apothecary with the aim of helping dry and sensitive skin.

I hope you enjoy the Scottish botanical skincare range as much as the customers who return to buy more and, of course, we love using it all at home too!  ❤️ Alison
