About this product

Leaves hands silky and soft, not tight. The formula pairs plant-based surfactants with Sodium PCA from seaweed and algae to actively moisturise while cleaning. Glycerin from karanja oil and organic aloe vera do the rest. This is a hand soap that genuinely cares for skin.

Then there is the fragrance. Built like a fine scent: marjoram opens sharp and herbal, palmarosa softens it into something rosy, and vetiver pulls the whole thing down to earth. Five organic essential oils, no synthetics. The kind of hand soap people quietly notice.

Each bottle carries original Indian ink artwork by fine artist Christian Newby. 100% recycled. Fully recyclable. Certified organic by the Soil Association. 98.6% natural origin.

Dive in

Why it's BRiMM

This is a hand soap that feels as considered as the fragrance on your dresser. The scent is structured in layers, herbal and rosy with an earthy vetiver base, and the formula actively moisturises rather than stripping skin back. It holds full Soil Association organic certification, which few soaps do.

Bessie Austin created it because she could not find natural bodycare that felt contemporary enough. Her father Richard has been in organic retail since 1976. Together they handcraft in East Anglia, commission fine artists for the packaging, and stock at Liberty and The Conran Shop. Featured in the New York Times T Magazine and Wallpaper*.

How to use

Rinse thoroughly

Suitable for all skin types

Pairs well with Austin Austin Palmarosa & Vetiver Hand Cream after washing for lasting softness and the same herbal-green fragrance.

A refill pouch is available when you're running low.
