The Shearer's WifeSteph married Simon the shearer about 30 years ago, after first meeting him in a wool shed. Originally from New Zealand, Simon shears sheep and alpacas.
Simon enthusiastically tries, tests and approves each soap. Steph and Simon live on lifestyle block outside of Orange in the beautiful Central Tablelands region of NSW. What began many years ago as a fascination for making soap for her family, has culminated into an obsession in the alchemy of mixing lye with oil to create these unique soaps. Combined with Steph's love of working with colours and natural ingredients both grown and gathered, she has turned soapmaking into an art form. In soapmaking the possibilities are endless, most of Steph's ingredients are plant derived. Some colours come from plant infusions, others from clay. Different ingredients add different properties, some oils are more conditioning or cleansing whereas others produce a lovely creamy lather. All pigmentation in our soaps is natural.
