🌿 Why I Chose the Natural Path: The Story Behind Arashel

🌱 From Kitchen Experiments to a Natural Living Brand

When I first began making natural products, I wasn’t planning to start a business. I simply wanted to create safer, healthier alternatives for my family — skincare I could trust, ingredients I could pronounce, and food that was real and nourishing. That desire grew into Arashel, a brand born from my love of natural living and handmade simplicity.

🧼 Handmade Skincare That Loves Your Skin Back

Each product is made with intention and care — nothing mass-produced. I work in small batches so every balm, lotion, soap, and serum is as fresh and potent as possible.

One of the heroes of my skincare range is tallow — a traditional, deeply nourishing ingredient our grandmothers swore by. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, it mimics our skin’s natural oils and supports healing, hydration, and overall skin health. I blend it with essential oils, magnesium, herbal infusions and more to create gentle, effective products that work — naturally.

🍓 Farm Fresh Preserves Made With Heart

When I'm not in the soap room, I’m often in the kitchen creating our homemade preserves. Jams, chutneys, relishes, sauces — all made in small batches, using ingredients we grow ourselves or source from local farmers who share our values.

Whether it’s a fragrant raspberry & rosewater jam, a bold chilli chutney, or our signature Ponderosa seasoning blend, every jar is a taste of country life — simple, flavourful, and made with love.

🏡 Life on the Land

Living on our family farm in Limestone has taught me the value of slowing down and doing things well. I homeschool our children, tend the garden, and pour a lot of love into every batch I make. It’s a busy life — full and beautiful — and Arashel is a reflection of that.
