In a post Covid world, when we think soaps, we think cleanliness, bathrooms and bacteria. While there are a LOT of myths to break down with regards to hygiene and soaps, criminally overlooked is the sensory experience. Choosing a soap isn’t just about cleanliness - it’s a stylistic choice. Soaps are the foundation of smelling great. Starting in the bathroom, body bars remove odour-causing bacteria, prevents unwanted smell mixing and enhances your natural skin chemistry. Sweat itself is actually odourless. It’s when bacteria on your skin break it down that body odour happens. Your shower routines - regular showers, exfoliation, and clean clothes prevent bacteria buildup, keeping you naturally fresh.Elliqua Body Bars optimise scent layering as clean skin holds onto fragrance better.  When your skin is free of sweat, oil, and residue, perfumes, body oils, and scented lotions absorb evenly and last longer.

Unlike synthetic skincare products, natural clays are free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, or preservatives. Natural clays were carefully selected in our Elliqua Cleansing Body Bars to keep skin clear, balanced and radiant.  1 - Detoxifies & Deep Cleans. Draw out impurities, excess oil, pollutants and toxins from the skin. They act like a magnet, pulling out dirt, excess oil, and buildup from pores. Clays have a negatively charged surface, which binds to positively charged toxins, heavy metals, and impurities, lifting them from the skin. This helps prevent breakouts, blackheads, and dull skin. 

Soap is a vital part of our everyday lives, but when it comes to washing our hands and choosing the best option for the environment, is it best to buy bar or liquid soap? We take a look at the pros and cons of each.

Incorporating cleansing bar soaps into your daily routine is a small but impactful step towards reducing your environmental footprint. They generally come in sustainable packaging such as cardboard, or are even sold package-free. Bar soaps also cost a lot less than liquid washes and tend to last much longer – up to three times as long.

Being conscious of the products you put on your skin is just as important for you as it is for the environment. 1. Do: Coconut Oil, Don't: Palm Oil. Do: Look for bathroom products that contain coconut oil. Coconut oil is a versatile and sustainable ingredient that's often used in soaps and moisturisers. It is rich in fatty acids, helping to moisturise and nourish the skin. Coconut oil is also derived from a renewable source, making it a much better choice than palm oil. 

In the pursuit of an eco-conscious lifestyle, we know that every small choice counts. One often overlooked yet impactful choice is the use of a soap dish. Choosing a soap dish that is plastic-free, reusable or biodegradable over a disposable alternative is an easy way to avoid contributing to the production of plastic. Here are five reasons why you should always use a soap dish.

In my year of growth, discovery and self love, I’ve been challenging myself to stay rooted in nature. Summer beacons my name, calling me to sun-soaked beach days, invigorating hikes and leisurely coffee walks with friends. Though, winter’s dull and wet often leaves me feeling disconnected - adrift. Like nature has suddenly stopped singing, muted by the rain. Read more on how I stay connected with nature here.
 
Sunshine and a healthy dose of vitamin d have always been my secret elixirs for lifting my spirits and reconnecting with nature. So what do I do now when clouds hang heavy and block the sun? I rise with the dawn. 
Bar soaps have numerous benefits that you might not have known. 
1. They’re the more sustainable option. With minimal packaging compared to liquid soaps, they present an easy plastic free alternative. Helping to minimise plastic waste and individual environmental footprint.
Taking time for myself with a busy schedule juggling study, work, friendship, family and health gets increasingly challenging for all of us as we grow. This is why I find so much value in a Sunday Reset.
Sundays present the perfect opportunities for rejuvenation of the mind and body in preparation for the week to come. Whether you're a morning person or enjoy resting on your Sundays, try a self care filled Sunday following these steps
I was doom-scrolling Instagram reels last night and realised every single one of my videos related to healthy high-protein recipes, skincare or daily routines. While social media is a great source of inspiration, it can often make us feel like we’re not doing enough. The great push to be our best selves in 2024 - and every year before it - is overwhelming at times and deeply motivating at others. I often reflect that I haven’t achieved enough, accomplished all my daily goals and gone above and beyond in my mere 24 hours. In an effort to do better (both within mindset and accomplishments), I’m implementing a new morning routine. 
Here’s what I’ve found has worked so far.
