About Mary Jean®
•••
We all want to look our best for our self confidence and how others see us yet it isn't always possible.
As a teenager suffering from problematic sensitive skin with an allergy to zinc, I realised the problem was not my skin but the products I was buying from the local chemist and supermarket.
Something had to change and quick because my skin problems were out of control.

Mary Jean is family owned and operated. The difference is in the quality of the products and believe in family values.
From my family to your family sharing the enjoyment of luxurious soaps, balms and more besides.
Led by the rural wilderness of the Highlands, the essence of Mary Jean® you experience is one of something positively natural.
Full of goodness and rich cold-pressed oils, a fragrance empowers mind and body. Every bar of soap handmade, every candle hand poured.

Old crafting traditions are best for our planet, for sure. We do not want to change anything to upset the balance we've found for growth and use of resources.

Understandably, as a family, we have a thing about woodlands and lochs.
How thankful we feel for the rich diverse nature found throughout the Speyside. As far south as Aviemore, and north to the Moray coast there's a wood for roaming and a loch for moments of calm.

Our Passion
Some people love their countryside, the rural escape.
Myself and my family love our natural world. The wild rural Highlands. It is this one constant in our universe that feeds the passion we have.
From taking long walks along our woodland paths, misty drizzle in the early morning. The deer come down for the new grass, entranced as our presence disturbes their feasting.
Cattle come running to you. Friendly and foolish all the same they snort with joy as you stop to say hello.
Walking through the countryside affords you so many pleasures. Pheastants startled, they take to flight in a fearful cry warning others.
If you are seasoned by rural country life, your camera is ready. Because nature plays a good theatre.

"Safe" Soaps
I purchase these soaps because they are safe for me to use. I am allergic to all rapeseed and its derivatives which seems to be in the majority of well known soaps. My skin has improved greatly since I have been using these....please don't change the ingredients!!!!

Natural Wood Hand Soap Dish With Drainage
This is an excellent soap dish - aesthetically pleasing to see in my bathroom. More importantly the soap doesn't leave 'puddles' on my sink as it sits very nicely on the soap dish which is easy to keep clean.
