Treating Your Skin With Great Natural Soap by Grand Illusions

If you like your soap natural, you are not alone. While there are many mass-produced soaps out there, natural soap is a nice departure from all of that. All natural can smell just as great as those manufactured soaps, but they are better for your skin as they usually are not nearly as drying or as irritating to your sensitive skin. Handmade natural soap can be purchased for those that want natural soap because they have sensitive skin or because they just don't want to treat their skin with chemicals, which is what a lot of the mass produced soaps contain.

Natural handmade soap doesn't have to be all that expensive, although some people think that it is and that is what keeps them from buying it. Often times, handmade all natural soap is actually cheaper than the soap that you can buy at your typical grocery store or drug store, because the natural ingredients are cheaper to buy. Handmade and natural soap can also be made by the consumers themselves, which can make it even cheaper to use and keep using! The great thing about buying natural soaps or making them yourself is that it is often cheaper and it often smells just as great as anything else that you could buy!

If you are looking for something that is clearly natural soap you should be sure to check out the ingredients and be sure that there isn't anything in it that you are adverse to. Pure and natural soap usually does not contain harsh cleansers or alcohol that will dry out the skin. These soaps can be purchased in health food stores, online, or can even be made by you!

Grand Illusions was created by Nick Ronald and David Roberts in December 1987, initially with just one small store in St Margaret's, Twickenham. The mission was to promote gifts, cards and accessories of good design and taste at an affordable price - still very much the core business ethic to this day.

Shortly afterwards, they discovered and developed a paint range that was to transform their lives. In those days, painted furniture was something of a rarity, and a twenty two drawer chest painted in one of the new paints caught the eye of 'Homes & Gardens' magazine - the small feature resulted in over a thousand telephone calls and the seeds of the highly acclaimed furniture collection were sewn.

This also led to the publication of three Grand Illusions books on decorating techniques and design inspiration, published in five countries by Ebury Press and accompanied by guest appearances on BBC2's Home Front and various local BBC radio stations.

They published their first mail-order catalogue in 1990 which was immediately voted as one of the top 200 catalogues in a new worldwide review and several issues later, they were awarded the contract to operate 'Country Living by Post' on behalf of the magazine, in addition to their own unique programme.

Today, the company's activities are currently concentrated on their two stores in St Margarets and Shaftesbury, with mail-order, paint studio, trade-sales and distribution also located in Dorset. The team regularly exhibit at quality retail and trade fairs like Country Living, Top Drawer and the RHS Flower Shows at Chelsea, Hampton Court and Tatton Park. Their products are now available at quality retail outlets across the UK and some stores in Japan, USA and Germany.

The publication of this web-site sees the return to mainstream mail-order for the accessory collection, which is just one of the exciting developments planned for the near future - so watch this space.
