Heyland & Whittle

Heyland & Whittle, British artisan soap makers

Heyland & Whittle is a British brand dedicated to making cold-process handmade soap, candles, reed diffusers and bath and body care products. Its catalogue is organised around four main families: candles, reed diffusers, cold-process soaps and bath melts, along with a line of gift items.

The company presents itself as a British-made fragrance and body care house, with a range inspired by the natural world and by the unhurried craft of making products.

Cold-process soaps

Cold-process soap is one of the cornerstones of the house. The shop offers a selection of soaps with fragrances and ingredients such as Vintage Rose, Patchouli & Oat Milk, Hemp & Walnut, Tea Tree & Nettle, Citrus & Turmeric, and English Lavender. Prices in this line start at £3.99 depending on the format.

The brand also sells eco offcut soaps, a category of its own within its soap range.

Candles and reed diffusers

The home fragrance section includes boxed jar candles and reed diffusers. Featured candles include Amber Oakmoss, Wild Lemongrass, Neroli & Rose, Citrus & Lavender, Green Tea & Grapefruit and Clementine & Fizz, priced at £30 in the boxed jar format.

The company lets customers combine two candles in a single order through a pack feature that groups selected products. The website also offers a comparison between two interpretations of citrus fragrance: Clementine & Fizz, described as more vibrant, and Citrus & Lavender, with a softer, calmer profile.

Skincare and bath

The bath and body catalogue includes bath melts and personal care products. The shop organises part of its range by skin type, with sections for dry or problem skin, oily or blemished skin, and dull or tired skin.

Gift items

Heyland & Whittle has a dedicated line of gift items, presented as a selection of the house's products designed for birthdays, thank-yous and everyday gestures. Formats in this category include gift boxes with small soaps and a box of ten soaps.

Shipping and customer care

The shop offers free UK delivery on orders over £35. The company notes that, for hygiene reasons, opened or used bath, body and fragrance products may not be eligible for return unless faulty. Delivery times and options are shown at checkout, and the company notes that during particularly busy periods dispatch may take a little longer.

The brand handles enquiries through its customer care team and publishes care guides for its products, with guidance such as allowing handmade soap to dry between uses, following the candle burn and safety instructions, and placing reed diffusers on stable surfaces away from heat and delicate finishes.

Editorial content

The website maintains a fragrance blog with informative articles, including comparisons between natural soap and shower gel, explanations of cold-process soap and pieces on the loss of scent perception from reed diffusers.
