Behind the scenes…
MadebyCheChe means made by me! I am a one woman show (mostly), so everything involved in producing soap and my other products starts and ends with me.
I infuse oils with herbs, botanicals and clays to naturally extract scents and colours then I tuck these infusions away for weeks, to obtain the best results. Whenever possible, I like to process ingredients myself to use in my recipes. I make my own Aloe Vera Gel, I use herbs to make herbal infusions, I grind my own coffee beans, I zest citrus fruit… the list goes on.
I blend my soap in small batches, then cut, bevel and stamp bars once they have set. I cut my own labels, assemble boxes and package all of my beautiful products. When I say handmade, I really mean it!
I enjoy adding that personal touch and I’m always focused on the smallest details to achieve the best results. Below is a ‘behind the scenes’ sneak peek into my world of production.
