MUMS & BUBS & DADS TOO

An estimated $400 million was spent on 10 million unwanted gifts last Christmas in Australia, many of which were discarded and likely ended up in landfill.

Gift cards endure as a great solution. When you know your friend or family member loves nature, the garden, craft, and the outdoors, FORA can help you alleviate that "did I get the right present" anxiety and quell that Gift Card buying guilt.

Sustainability aside, some of us are just are not that organised so a Fora Gift Card will make a handy last-minute digital gift. 

This beautiful design is thanks to Basia Stryjecka, of Little Valley Studio. Originally from a small town in Poland, Basia now calls Michigan in the US her home. Often inspired by the beauty of nature, she creates pieces that bring a sense of calm and wonderment to our everyday lives. With a strong interest in color, composition, and texture she loves to integrate her knowledge of design into her abstract works. Watercolor is Basia's preferred medium, allowing the pigment to guide her brush in creating calming yet playful paintings

Based on natural olive oil, black soap is an effective ecological cleaner used for generations in France. It’s made the old-fashioned way in a cauldron, just like La Corvette’s bathroom soaps, but the addition of linseed oil and pomace oil (sourced from the remains of crushed grapes) gives it heavy-duty power.

La Corvette has been making cauldron-cooked olive oil black soap at its factory in Marseille using traditional expertise for over 125 years. Black soap is a very effective natural cleaner for the whole house, Ecological, 100% natural and biodegradable, it can easily replace about a dozen specific householder cleaning products, and eliminate the packaging that goes along with them.

FAQs

Here are a few frequently asked questions about black soap:

How do you use black soap paste in the garden?

Black soap is used in France as a natural insectide. To protect plants and roses against aphids, whiteflies and mealybugs, thoroughly mix about 1 tablespoon of black soap paste with 1 litre of water and spray the mixture on the plants, not forgetting under leaves, Repeat after two days.

Doing this at cooler times of the day avoids any risk of leaves getting burnt by the hot midday sun.

Can I use it for household cleaning?

Of course! It’s a very fuss-free, versatile cleanser, so therefore economical. No more nasty chemicals and no fainting spells from strong chemicals.

For flooring, surfaces, wood, ovens, copper, silver: Dilute about 1 tablespoon in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required.

For extra-deep cleaning: Dilute about 3 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required,

For maintaining silverware or DIY and garden tools: In your laundry, kitchen, garden sink or bucket, dilute about 3-4 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. Soak items for 5 minutes. Dry with a soft cloth.

For fabric stain removal:  Place a hazelnut-sized portion of paste on your fabric, rub lightly and leave for a few minutes. Launder the item in your washing machine as usual.

As black soap is very concentrated, for light coloured fabrics (such as white linens and cotton) we recommend testing it on a small, inconspicuous area prior to use.

For standard machine washing: Add 3 tablespoons of black soap paste for every 5 kilos of laundry. Add 100ml of white vinegar as a natural softener. Add natural essential oils for fragrance, if you like.

Can I use black soap paste on my pet?

Yes. Start by rinsing your pet’s coat and massage in 1 tablespoon of black soap paste. Rinse and wipe dry.

Is black soap paste safe?

La Corvette Marseille Black Soap Paste is certified as an Ecodetergent by Ecocert Greenlife according to the Ecocert standard, with 100% of the ingredients being of natural origin.

Essential Ingredients

EXTRACT OF ORGANIC SWEET ALMOND FROM PROVENCE - Soothing
The ever-so-soft, ever-so gourmand almond, covered with a soft green velvety coat, has been used for its cosmetic properties since ancient times. It's high in vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids and renowned for soothing skin, keeping it soft and protecting its hydrolipidic film.

SWEET ALMOND OIL - Softening
Sweet almond oil, rich in oleic acid and linoleic acid that are naturally present in our skin, nourishes and protects skin. Thanks to its composition rich in saturated fatty acids and oleic acid, sweet almond oil softens the skin and protects it from drying out, giving it a velvety feel.

SHEA BUTTER - Nourishing
All active ingredients in Panier des Sens products have been selected for their cosmetic quality and their Provence history. One, however, stands out, given its distant origin and its universal benefits. Shea is a natural active ingredient extracted from the shea nut, fruit of the shea tree, a wild tree endemic to West Africa: Butyrospermum Parkii. This exceptionally hardy tree can live for up to three centuries! A very rich beige-coloured paste is extracted from the nut and is then worked into butter. Shea butter is universally-reputed for its nourishing and protective properties. As it's rich in vitamins A, D, E and F as well as fatty acid, it nourishes skin and helps it better defend itself from dehydration and external aggressors.


Sustainability

To ensure flawless product quality and to preserve a unique agricultural legacy, Panier des Sens teams up with local artisans and producers to develop and encourage sustainable and organic agriculture whilst preserving the local species that create the wealth of this region. Provence is the almond tree's favourite place to be and there were thousands of them here in bygone times. The region has been famous for its almonds, land and green almonds since the 19th century. The almond used in this collection is sourced from the Valensole Plateau, an almond-growing hotspot renowned for its premium quality.

We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.

Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.

Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.

Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony. 

Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live. 

The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.

Sizing best for Ages 3-7
