…sounds like a glorious overstatement. But it’s not. It is a truly glorious soap. Aleppo soap is a completely natural product and contains no perfumes, colours or other additives. The principle ingredients are olive oil and bay leaf oil.

One of the easiest eco-friendly products to “test” was the Wikaniko Deodorant Stone. Also, one of the hardest. To be honest, it took a wild leap of faith to go without my trusted anti-perspirant spray. Here goes, human guinea pig, hubby scoffing quietly that it must be some kind of witchcraft (again).

This morning I opened my first box of goodies from Wikaniko. Interesting how a few basic cleaning and household products feel transformed into some kind of treat now they’re nice eco ones (so I suppose they are goodies in more ways than one, fnar). Amongst the lovely recyclable screwed up newspaper in the box was a product that I didn’t think would be much cop but equally was so inexpensive, I couldn’t resist: the magic eraser. When you rub it on your purse, it fills with coins.
