Hi, I’m Alina, and I make artisan soaps in Cheshire. I have a passion for everything authentic and artisan with sustainability in mind.

One-of-a-kind Artisan soaps were born in summer 2024 when my raspberry patch in my garden brought a massive harvest. 

I was making a new batch of soaps almost every day, so I have added a unique ingredient - fresh raspberries right from my patch into a soap batter. Raspberries contain raspberry oil, which is quite underestimated by high street brands, however, is very precious and moisturising.

One-of-a-kind Alina Perfance Soap Bars contain unique botanicals and every batch is made once. A special recipe of soap called Cold Process - I melt oils at 36C instead of heating them, preserving moisturising properties and turns every bar into 20% superfat and cleansing indulgence.

Every box you order is filled with wood wool straw-type filler and packed into a cardboard box free from tape and any type of plastic argghhh I hate plastic :D 

Join the club of artisan and authentic products and your skin will say thank you!

In the heart of Morocco, a centuries-old tradition of using natural clay has been passed down through generations, yielding a treasure trove of beauty secrets. Moroccan clay, also known as Ghassoul, has been revered for its remarkable properties, which have been used to purify, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin. In this blog, we'll delve into the wonders of Moroccan clay, exploring its benefits, uses, and how you can incorporate it into your daily beauty routine.

What is Moroccan Clay?

Moroccan clay, also known as Ghassoul, is a type of natural clay extracted from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This unique clay is rich in minerals, including silica, calcium, and magnesium, which give it its distinctive properties. Ghassoul clay has been used for centuries in traditional Moroccan beauty rituals, where it's believed to have the power to detoxify, soften, and rejuvenate the skin.

Benefits of Moroccan Clay

1. Deep Cleansing: Moroccan clay is renowned for its ability to deeply cleanse the skin, drawing out impurities, dirt, and excess oil. This leaves the skin feeling refreshed, purified, and balanced.
2. Soothing and Calming: Ghassoul clay has anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent remedy for soothing and calming irritated skin, acne, and rosacea.
3. Exfoliating: The gentle, non-abrasive texture of Moroccan clay makes it an excellent exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.
4. Hydrating: Moroccan clay is rich in minerals, which help to lock in moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft, supple, and hydrated.
5. Antioxidant Properties: Ghassoul clay contains antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from environmental stressors, pollution, and UV damage.

Conclusion

Moroccan clay is a natural, ancient beauty secret that has been passed down through generations. With its remarkable properties, it's no wonder why this clay has been revered for centuries. By incorporating Moroccan clay into your daily beauty routine, you can unlock a range of benefits, from deep cleansing and soothing to exfoliating and hydrating. Whether you're looking to improve the appearance of your skin, hair, or body, Moroccan clay is a natural, effective, and gentle solution that's worth exploring.

As the skincare industry continues to evolve, many of us are turning to natural and organic ingredients to nourish and protect our skin. This is why I have developed my own recipe of face cream using edible emulsifiers and natural oils. 

Making your own artisan skincare cream is a great way to take control of what goes into your products and ensure that they are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. 

The Ingredients which goes in every AlinaPerfance Skincare cream:

* Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil): Rich in vitamins A, B, and E, as well as fatty acids, which nourish and moisturize the skin
* Cetearyl Alcohol: A natural emollient that helps to lock in moisture
* Glyceryl Stearate: A plant-derived emulsifier that helps to blend the ingredients together
* Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate: A natural emulsifier that helps to create a smooth and creamy texture
* Glycerine: A humectant that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin
* Tocopherol (Vitamin E Oil): Antioxidant properties help to protect the skin from environmental stressors
* Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil (Vitamin E Oil): Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, which help to nourish and protect the skin

Making your own artisan skincare cream is a fun and rewarding process that allows you to take control of what goes into your products. With this recipe, you'll be able to create a luxurious and effective cream that nourishes and moisturizes your skin, while also providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
