 Trevarno Natural Skincare
Trevarno is a working estate and one of its most interesting and rewarding projects is the Organic Herbal Workshop which was the first in the UK to be granted formal organic certification by the Organic Farmers and Growers Association. Our handmade soaps and skincare products are produced using the purest plant oils and materials available. Visitors to the workshops located in the gardens can learn about the benefits of an organic skincare regime, see where the production process takes place, and sample the products which are available for sale.
We have an amazing collection of natural soaps, all handmade here in Cornwall on our Trevarno estate, all made from only the purest of natural ingredients. Many of our soaps are so gentle that they are also suitable for use on the face, to deep cleanse without drying.
Skin Care... the inside story…
Trevarno are proud to be the first beauty company to meet The Organic Farmers & Growers strict standards to gain formal organic certification. This official recognition with Britain’s longest established organic certifier guarantees the purity of the Trevarno range and assures customers that products are both ethical and sustainable. With organic certification being the only way to ensure that products are as pure and natural as possible,
Trevarno works hard in sourcing the highest quality, socially just and ecologically responsible suppliers of ingredients for their skin care range. Just a few examples of these practices includes buying locally grown West country herbs and obtaining sustainable Palm Oil from a producer who works closely with the Worldwide Fund for Nature.
Due to the concentrated and pure nature of the organic ingredients used in all products, the skin nourishing benefits are magnified and a little goes a long way.
Inspired by Trevarno’s resident peacocks, the stylish packaging features a subtle feather design and illustrates the importance of nature and the preservation of it, a theme which runs through all processes at Trevarno.
‘Why hand made soaps?’
We regard the use of our natural and organic handmade, detergent free, soaps as the basis of good skin care. Each soap is designed to leave a moisturising layer on your skin without stripping away your body’s own natural oils as you wash and cleanse. Many substances that come into contact with the skin can pass into the bloodstream in a similar way that a nicotine patch releases its chemicals into the body and it is now thought that a number of common skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis can be aggravated by the synthetic chemicals found in modern soaps and shampoos.
All Trevarno natural and organic soaps use the very best plant extracts available, in our own recipes, which have been refined and optimised for their skin care qualities. To ensure that our soaps are the purest and most natural available, we do not use preservatives, stabilisers, artificial colouring or other E numbers. The only ingredients added to the natural soap are ground herbs, pure vegetable oils such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil and jojoba oil and essential oils of the finest quality.
We are very proud of our certified range of organic soaps, these also compliment many of our organic ointments ensuring a pure cleansing and moisturising experience, Calendula soap and Calendula ointment, Camomile, Propolis and Gardeners Hand Salve all of which are aimed at helping relieve various skin ailments.
The Basics…
The ingredients used to make the base of our soaps are Extra Virgin Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil and Cocoa Butter. These oils are combined and included in each soap because of their excellent skin care qualities and the deep cleansing properties they offer. This combination also produces a long lasting creamy lather bar which can be used down to the very last sliver.
Extra virgin olive oil was chosen as it provides an excellent base for infused herbal oils. It is also rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins and has superb emollient qualities.
Coconut oil is one of the most important ingredients for soapmakers as it produces natural creamy bubbles. It is obtained from the pressing of coconuts, the fruit of the palm tree and is an excellent emollient.
Cocoa Butter contributes to the hardness of the soap and is one of the finest moisturisers, coating the skin with a fine film, hence diminishing water loss and softening and protecting skin.
Palm oil is used to its best advantage in combination with Coconut or Olive oil and produces a hard, long lasting bar of soap. We know there has been a lot of press regarding Palm oil production recently and wanted to clarify that we do not buy our Palm from an unethical source; Trevarno Skincare feels very strongly about this subject and are committed to using ethical sources from Malaysia who are dedicated not to devastate areas but use sustainable development plantations.
The moisturising layer or ‘superfat’ in our soaps includes herbs such as Lavender, Cinnamon, Rosehip, Camomile, Calendula and essential oils such as Bergamot, Patchouli and Sweet Orange which are mixed with vegetable oils such as Jojoba, Sunflower, Avocado, Coconut, Olive and Cocoa Butter. Each soap contains its own individual blend which is targeted towards various skin types and conditions. The ingredients contained in our natural and organic soaps are all food grade so are good enough to eat!
