Beautiful new soaps from Herd & Elder, small-batch skincare and home fragrance business based in East Lancashire.
‘We hand-make nourishing soaps, scrubs and soy wax candles using raw milk from our own herd of goats — milked by hand and poured by hand, right here on our smallholding. Everything is made slowly, in small batches, with a focus on gentle ingredients for sensitive skin.
We’re a young family who unintentionally started a smallholding on a forgotten patch of hillside here in the Rossendale Valley, Lancashire. This land had been neglected for years — overgrown with reeds, choked with moss, and used for fly-tipping. But at its heart stood an ailing Elder tree, leaning and covered in lichen. We saw it not as a problem, but as a chance to heal — for the land, and for ourselves.
Driven by a desire for a simpler, healthier way of living, we set out to grow, rear, and make our own food and products. What began as a personal project quickly became a passion — and eventually, a business rooted in regeneration, sustainability, and traditional craft.
Our Oats & Goats soap recently won Silver in the Free From Skincare Awards 2025, we are super proud of this.’
