Dook
Based in Edinburgh, UK
Dook is a small, artisanal company based in Edinburgh, making salt soap in small batches; using organic ingredients, essential oils and natural colours. Each batch is mixed and poured by hand resulting in a distinctive, high-quality hand and body soap.
In 2018, after years of making cold processed soap with traditional ingredients, maker Helen added Himalayan salt to her recipe and realised she had something special. Salt soaps are a fantastic product: the salt adds a beautiful colour and texture, is rich in skin-loving minerals and creates a firm, long-lasting bar.
Sustainability and plastic reduction is central to Helen's manufacturing and retail approach. The oils used in the soaps are organic and from sustainable sources and plastic is kept to a minimum throughout the process. All packaging and shipping materials are made out of exclusively recycled and recyclable materials. As a brand, Dook aims to couples a luxury beauty product with a sustainable lifestyle.
