The third part of our blog series on upcycling your Soap Tins has a rather green fingered theme!

It’s early spring which is a time when many start to think about their gardens. Cutting the grass for the first time, planning what to plant where, pruning roses and potting seedlings.

We think our Soap Tins are a perfect size for starting off seedlings or for growing herbs such as Cress, Chives and Thyme. All you need is your empty tins, some seeds and compost. We've picked one of our Tartan Treasures tins as these are completely patterned and will look great on your window ledge!

  Once potted all you need to do is pop them in the sunshine and with a little love and care they should grow grow grow! 

Do you have any great uses for tins to suggest? We’d love to hear it. Or if you’ve tried any of our tips we’d love to see pictures. 

There is no question that honey is a great natural product, recognised by many as a superfood and consumed all over the world for many centuries. It’s a sweet, tasty treat. Soothing for sore throats and restorative in cold remedies. 

As well as this, honey has many beneficial properties that make it a popular choice for use in skincare products too. This is something we quickly recognised at Scottish Fine Soaps. We started experimenting with honey in our products and loved it so much we built an entire range around it - Honey B!  Today Honey B is one of our most established ranges, with a great selection of bath and body products.

So, what makes honey so great? Firstly, honey is known to be “hygroscopic”, which means it attracts and retains moisture. This is great news for dry skin as it can help lock in much needed hydration.  Honey isn’t oily so it’s great for combination skin too as it will moisturise without blocking pores which can cause breakouts. In addition to this Honey is a natural antioxidant, which means it can help eradicate blemishes, without over-drying or aggravating the skin.

To make our Honey B range even better we’ve added other great skin-loving ingredients, such as softening Shea Butter, luxurious Royal Jelly, Beeswax and Vitamin E. This is combined with scents of musk and vanilla to give a beautiful, softly fragranced product that most importantly, is kind to skin. Read on to see some of our best selling products from the range....
