The Real Story

I didn’t plan to start a soap company.
I just wanted to clean my home without poisoning my family or the planet.

After years of buying “earth-friendly” products that felt anything but, I started reading labels, researching ingredients, and slowly realising that even the so-called good stuff wasn’t that good. And the few that were? Well, let’s just say they didn’t come cheap.

So, I started making my own. In my kitchen. For my home. For my family.

I wanted something I could trust completely. That wouldn’t dry out our skin or leave our clothes smelling like synthetic coconut forests. Something I could feel good about washing down the drain.

Real Stuff was born from that journey. What started as a simple experiment, 20-years ago is now a growing range of small-batch, hand-crafted products made from biodegradable, natural, non-toxic ingredients that are kind to our bodies, our wallets, and the world.

This is clean that cares. It’s not flashy. But it works.

And that, to me, is the real stuff.
