About this product
Keep the bottle, refill the soap. This 600ml pouch delivers the same certified organic formula as the 300ml bottle, twice over, with 60% less packaging. The empty pouch is recyclable at supermarket soft plastic collection points.
The soap itself leaves hands silky and soft, not tight. Plant-based surfactants clean gently while Sodium PCA from seaweed and algae actively moisturises. Glycerin from karanja oil and organic aloe vera do the rest.
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.

Why it's BRiMM
Why it's BRiMM
The scent is structured in layers: herbal and rosy with an earthy vetiver base. The formula holds full Soil Association organic certification, which almost no hand soap manages, and leaves hands silky and soft rather than stripped. It is handcrafted in East Anglia by Bessie Austin and her father Richard, who has been in organic retail since 1976. Fine artist Christian Newby illustrates every bottle.
The refill format gives you all of that in a 600ml pouch, twice the volume with 60% less packaging. Bessie created the range because she could not find natural bodycare that felt contemporary enough. Featured in the New York Times T Magazine and Wallpaper*. Stocked at Liberty and The Conran Shop.
How to use
How to use
Open the pouch and pour directly into your empty 300ml bottle
Keep the pouch upright when not in use to prevent leaking
One 600ml pouch fills the 300ml bottle twice over
Drop the empty pouch at your supermarket's soft plastic recycling collection point
Avoid contact with eyes
The 300ml bottle's pump dispenser works as normal once refilled. If you are new to Austin Austin and do not yet have the bottle, start with the Austin Austin Palmarosa & Vetiver Hand Soap 300ml.
