Penlas soaps are made the old way, entirely by hand using only natural ingredients. Each soap is infused with a blend of oils and dried ingredients giving them a uniquely refreshing smell and feel.

"We believe that the most beautiful things in life are often the most natural...plain and simple. When trying to make our house a home, we try to use natural materials wherever possible - we find they are often the most luxurious too. If we want to celebrate something in our home, or want to relax after a busy day or want to create that hygge and cwtch feeling, then we light a 100% pure, beeswax candle.

We also believe that lighting a candle shouldn't be at a cost to the planet or to our health. Purah Beeswax Candles are Purah for the planet and they are Purah for you."
