Description

Doesn’t everyone love ammonites? There’s something about the pretty spiral pattern. These soaps used a genuine Whitby Dactylioceras ammonite to make the first mould. Both soap and moulds are made in the kitchen at Mount House, these little ammonite guest soaps contain natural ingredients and are scented with essential oils.

It took a long while to decide on the scents for the soaps, particularly the black ones. I mean, what should an ammonite smell like? As rosemary and lavender grow happily in the garden at Mount House, that’s what I used along with a bit of warming cedarwood. Bladderwrack seaweed adds nutrients not found in land plants and then there are two white soaps as a balance and a change from the black soaps, which can be a bit messy due to the charcoal and black clay. Avoid use with white flannels. The black glossiness of the black soaps is pleasing – and useful for washing really dirty hands after gardening as the dirt does not show on the dried soap. A farrier friend whose work means filthy hands is unavoidable is a particular fan of this soap.

Minimum weight of each soap = 20 g, diameter 5 cm
