Purple Sage Soap Co.

Hi everyone, just a quick update – I’ll soon be closing down the current Purple Sage Soap Company Facebook and Instagram pages and moving everything over to shiny new accounts.

This is simply to make things run more smoothly (and fix a few tech issues along the way!). I’d love for you to keep following the journey – all the soaps, skincare, gardens, and behind-the-scenes updates will now be at:

👉 New page:
👉 New Instagram:

If you already support me here, thank you so much – it would mean the world if you could follow and share the new pages to help me spread the word.

🌿 Big news from Sage Cottage! 🌿

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Purple Sage Soap Company Ltd has been shortlisted for the Rural Business Award at the Women’s Enterprise Scotland Awards 2025!

Representing the Borders, this recognition means the world to us, it’s a celebration of our journey from garden to soap dish, producing plant-based skincare with purpose, right here in our rural corner of Scotland.

Thank you to everyone who supports us: family, friends, stockists, and our amazing customers. We couldn’t do this without you.

Here’s to at ✨

Rosemary isn’t just for roast potatoes…

Herbalists like Simon Mills say that simply smelling rosemary can help wake up the brain and sharpen memory. Pretty amazing for a humble little herb, isn’t it?

That’s one of the reasons we love using it in our Rosemary Salt Soap. Not only does it help gently exfoliate the skin, but every time you lather up you get that fresh, herbal scent that feels like a mini brain boost in the shower.

Handmade here in the Scottish Borders, our salt soaps are packed with natural, plant-based ingredients and produced with purpose…powered by plants.

So next time you need a pick-me-up, skip the coffee and go for a bar of rosemary instead!

Thinking about starting a business? Already running one and looking for a bit of support?

The Pathways Programme is back in Jedburgh & Hawick and it’s completely FREE to join!

It doesn’t matter if you’re just at the 'idea stage' or you’ve already started trading (up to 3 months), Pathways gives you the chance to:

✨ Work 1:1 with a coach (that’s me!)
✨ Join small group sessions where you can learn and share experiences
✨ Build confidence, pick up practical skills, and connect with others on the same journey

There is also the opportunity to apply for a £1000 grant to help kick-start your dreams.

I’ve seen people come in feeling unsure and leave with real belief in themselves and their business – and that’s why I love being part of this programme.

If you’re based in Jedburgh or Hawick (CPA6), this could be just what you need to take your idea forward.
