Nellie’s Patch is named after our pet cat Nellie, who wanders through her “patch”, where we grow our herbs and flowers.
These are incorporated into the handmade soap.
We don’t use any nasty chemicals on our botanicals; the only fertilizer comes from our horses Barney, and Paddy, and Fruit Pastel the donkey! Our “boys” graze on the plentiful grass here in rural Shropshire. The area often feels like it has its own micro-climate, sheltered by the Welsh hills. Maybe that is what helps our plants grow.
Our soaps are as natural as possible and rich in shea butter, renowned for its moisturising properties, along with essential oils, herbs or flowers. Our kitchen is full of flowers we are drying, and the smell of fresh rose petals is divine.

We DO NOT use palm oil. We are concerned about the detrimental impact on the environment that a large percentage of palm oil production creates.
The effects on wildlife, particularly the orang-utan, concern us. Remember the “Orang-utan Diaries” on the BBC, and then you will know why we don’t use it.
All our other oils come from sustainable sources, and like all our ingredients they are not tested on animals.
We DO NOT use artificial colours, fragrances, perfumes, sodium suphate, parabens and a host of other unnatural ingredients you will often find in soaps. Nellie’s Patch soaps are made using the traditional cold process and are left to mature, then packed by hand . You can be sure that this is a true artisan soap, made at home from start to finish.
We do not buy in soaps and put our own label on them. Our soaps are all vegetarian and vegan and are not tested on animals.
We support and use local business where we can. Reducing transport miles is part of our business ethos. Even the spring water used in all of our soaps is sourced locally.
Nellie’s Patch soaps have been made with care, patience and integrity.
