About the Business

Hi! We are Pip and Ivor and we run our business within a beautiful backdrop of the South Shropshire hills. Inspired by the textures and colours of this beautiful landscape. Our range of products intend to reflect this simplicity & beauty of Mother Nature. All our soaps and body care essentials are primarily health centred as we endeavour to provide authentic, wholesome, people and planet friendly products.

People say our soaps look 'good enough to eat!' and they certainly do, (but we don't recommend you try!), however they will be gentle and nourishing on your skin.....a back to basics skin food with lots of botanical themes. We all know that skin breathes, and just like the saying "You are what you eat", likewise what we put on our skin is just as important.

Nature provides us with everything we need, simply and straightforwardly and we try to reflect this simplicity in our ranges of Aromatherapy Essentials and endeavour to promote the pleasure of nature's gifts through smell, sight and effect.

'Pure Scents' soap making began way back in 1996 in Shrewsbury, working from our home. Now we have a purpose built studio, in the hills! This is part of an old Methodist chapel that we renovated in 2007. The chapel, which had fallen into disuse and a part of the lead mning community which thrived during the nineteenth century, had been standing forlorn and empty for several years.

It stands in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty in the Shropshire hills. we happened across it one fine sunny winter's morning out on a walk! We saw its potential immediatelyit and thus began a long journey of purchase, planning applications and renovation. We are fortunate enough now to be living and working in a beautiful rural landscape surrounded by rocky hills and a lot of sheep!

Facial Care - Simple Solutions

Skin is skin! But the skin on the face is always exposed to the elements. Therefore it makes sense that it may need a litttle more attention. It does not mean that a labelled 'body cream' cannot be used on the face as the ingredients are more or less the same - the difference generally being the addition of richer oils for the face - or, in some cases less!

It may follow that facial skin is more sensitive, due to exposure, but that does not mean it is necessarily remedied by using more intense solutions. Getting the balance between protecting it and clogging it up is an individual thing and something we all need to experiment with. Pure Scents facial products are designed to be pure and simple, enriched with oils which condition the skin leaving it supple and nourished and gently fragranced as nature intended.
