The Rustybucket French Farm
“We came about from a need for an alternative to what was sold in the mainstream stores – a naturally gentle, nourishing line of bath and body products.
Unlike traditional soaps, our cold processed soaps are made in small batches using a traditional process that takes weeks to cure. This process keeps the naturally beneficial by-products in like glycerin and essential oils, and leaves out the nasty fillers (sulphates, parabens, phtalates and synthetic ingredients) that can irritate and dry out your skin.
Most of our lines are made with purely natural ingredients. We care for the environment, choosing minimal packaging and are as plastic free as possible.
… excellent quality at a reasonable price with great service!”
