Family-made lavender soap and skincare that smells divine

Welcome to Gower Lavender, where the products are handmade, local and lovely, and the planet is at the heart of everything we do. We’re a small family company set up in 2017 by local couple Rae Howells and Phil Poucher. What started with a few lavender plants in our garden and a crazy idea about growing in partnership with mother nature, is now three lavender patches across the outstandingly beautiful Gower peninsula, and a range of gorgeous

lavender soaps, lavender hand creams, aromatherapy pillow sprays, lavender syrup and lavender hearts that we sell through independent retailers, at markets, or send out from us to you across the UK. We grow in harmony with nature, allowing pollinators to feed before our crop is lovingly brought in by hand, and then made into luxurious products and gift sets that we package in eco-friendly compostable boxes. We hope you enjoy exploring our eco luxury range.

Happy Friday! Here's Junes market dates for your save buttons, the good old faithfuls & a new one! šŸ’œ

It’s the big outbuildings reveal! We’ve been at the farm for two weeks now and I’ve finally had five minutes to film the barns so you can have a little tour around. The phrase ā€˜bit of a doer-upper’ springs to mind, doesn’t it? 🫣🤣

They might be a bit derelict but you can see these buildings have good bones, and once the ivy is stripped away, the actual sycamore tree removed from the top of the wall, and the roof replaced, we’ll have a real gem of a space to work from.

While we’re trying to find some order in the chaos of moving I thought I’d share this video of our last days in the old workshop, making our classic lavender raindrop soap and then emptying out all our equipment, ingredients and packaging ready for the big move. šŸš›šŸ“¦

We’re currently using my (very understanding) parents’ utility room to make our soap and keep the show on the road… but soon we’ll be starting work on renovating the farm buildings so we can fit out a permanent space where we can make our products and hopefully expand the range. šŸ’œšŸŖ»

I wonder how long until we’re making this soap in our new workshop??? šŸ«§šŸ‘·ā€ā™€ļø

What a week! Feels like I’ve been spun like a spinning top and I don’t know which way is up. We’ve packed up our whole life, our business, our home, and moved ourselves into this beautiful (but slightly dilapidated) small holding where we hope our lavender farm dreams will come true. 

There are birds nesting in the walls, we don’t know how anything works, we’ve had to call in electricians and plumbers, we can’t find the TV remote and the burglar alarm wouldn’t switch off for a day. 

But we’re still here, together, smiling - and today I sat in the garden with a glass of wine and took a little breath. Because we’ve only gone and bloody done it!

Looking for a Father’s day activity, or a crafty gift to make with the kids? Why not make a lavender wand! Simple, easy, crafty, fun, and fragrant - a great way to use your freshly cut lavender… and occupy your bored kids over the weekend šŸ‘šŸ»

Use to scent your drawers or wardrobe and keep moths at bay. Or why not make a whole bouquet of them to scent a room? 

Ooh, and please tag us in on your makes - we’d love to see what you come up with! 
šŸ’œšŸ‘€šŸ’œ

There’s a full tutorial on the blog on our website… just click the link in our bio and then select Blog from the menu and you’ll see it. 🪻✨

Sneaky peek!! Here’s a little glimpse at the barns and yard at the farm we’re buying… exciting! If you missed our last post we are about to take the biggest step of our lives, buying a farm on Gower so we can turn it into a lavender farm where we hope to take our little business to the next level.

I’m sure you can see there’s a LOT of work to do, but we’ll take it day by day. Make sure you’re following us to get all the latest updates!

First things first, we are packing up all our belongings, cleaning and getting ready for the big move. Only a few more sleeps… 😊 We’re also packing up your orders as quickly as we can so please bear with us if things take a little longer than usual. šŸ’œ

Now has anybody seen my parcel tape and scissors?? āœ‚ļø

What Our Clients Think

In a bid to use less plastic I bought some lavender and lavender beer soaps - they smelled amazing when they arrived in eco-friendly packaging, but the lavender scent when you use them is not in any way overpowering. The lavender beer especially is so creamy and lovely! Thoroughly recommend buying, and any of the products would make great gifts as the packaging is beautiful.

Order lavender soaps, hand creams and sets! Super happy with my orders. The smell is amazing I could smell it before I opened the box. The two gifts are xmas pressies but the hand cream is great. I will be ordering more! Great service and loved the personal touch. ????

Thank you so much [for my lavender soap], my parcel arrived and I knew what was in it before I opened it. The fragrance is amazing. So beautifully packaged too, I want to keep everything not give as gifts. Good job I treated myself to a little something ???? Thank you for you...
