Presenting My Beautiful Shea Body Butters & Soaps

I have use all-natural ingredients to develop my recipes, blending nourishing oils and butters that gently hydrate & care for your skin. You’ll find no artificial chemicals here, just pure gentle formulations, hand-crafted from the ‘Salt of the Earth.’
It has taken me 15 years to perfect these recipes, combining plant-based oils & butters to create rich, hydrating Body Butters & Soaps for everyday use.

My journey began when a friend returning from Ghana gave me a block of raw Shea Butter. It was light brown, earthy, & fragrant. At first, I would melt it down & apply directly to my skin, but it felt a little greasy & truthfully, the scent raw. This led me to explore different oils & essential oils to understand their benefits & enhance the fragrance for my personal use.
Soon, my two daughters started ‘borrowing’ my pots of butter, so I began making batches for them and, later, for friends.

Over the years, my recipes have grown & evolved. I would often put together ‘gift sets’ for friends, & many encouraged me to create my own skincare brand. Honestly, my biggest barrier was time.

In April 2025, I realised the time had come to fully research & develop a marketable skincare range for everyday people.

My soaps are a relatively new creation. My first batch was, well, a bit of a disaster! But through research, trial, & error, I developed a beautifully rich, old-fashioned soap made with natural vegetable oils & butters. The rich lather gently cleanses & moisturises the skin, preparing it perfectly for my Body Butter Range. Together, they work wonderfully, a complimentary range that leaves your skin soft & cared for.

Many people have sensitive skin and are unable to use essential oils. I have therefore created an ‘Essentially Free’ range. This is a collection of Body Butters and Soaps made without essential oils, using only gentle vegetable oils and butters, from the ‘Earths Bounty’, to hydrate and moisturise your skin, minimising the risk of irritation. The ‘Essentially Free’ range is available to order. on demand.

There we have it, the birth of Deborah Harvey ™ Skincare. For you, for me, and for everyone who believes that 'Caring for your skin Naturally is a Priority'.
