Pug Soap production is going well, it is a slow process but I'm slowly getting there. Still waiting on pink grapefruit oil to arrive (supplier sent wrong one) and Lavender. I think that will be the entire new range at this stage. Also, people keep asking are they for dogs or humans ? They are for human use. Here's a preview of the new range:

Hi Everybody, I've had quite a few e-mails and questions about will I be restocking the soaps for saffron. The answer is yes, but unfortunately I wont be able to get one of the ingredients needed till the end of January now. My supplier e-mailed me this morning apologizing for the delay.  I don't want to try another suppler as my current one is so good and I don't want to compromise the quality of the finished product. On a positive note there will be the following fragrances available. (I am not making unscented on this run as there was a request for it but only one was purchased.) FRAGRANCES: 100% natural nothing artificial. Orange Cinnamon Spearmint Lemon Lavender Pink Grapefruit Lime Maple Syrup Thanks everybody for your support and especially for helping out the rescue puggies. INGREDIENTS (may include): cocoa powder, honey, maple syrup, vanilla beans, spearmint oil, orange oil, orange or lemon rind, coffee, lavender oil, pink g...
