Our Story
A little about me
I've always been someone who makes things - including, many years ago, a very wonky candle I made and gifted to my Nanna.
Later, after years of struggling with my skin, I started to looking more carefully at what I was using and began making skincare for myself. What started as a wonky candle and homemade skincare slowly became something I wanted to share what I was making with family and friends. Fern Dale began to grow.
Alongside Fern Dale, I work full time in a demanding role, so making gives me a completely different space to switch off, create and enjoy something that is entirely my own. It really is my happy place.
Everything at Fern Dale is still handcrafted by me, in small batches, from my home studio - and I hope I get to keep making for a long time.

Lovely soap
This was the first natural soap bar I have ever brought. I love it! People even comment on how lovely I smell. It lasted way longer than I thought it would too, 3 months, and that was using it often twice a day!

Luxurious gift
I received Citrus Veil body butter as gift and love using it after a shower. I have very dry skin on my legs and this is super absorbent leaving my legs well moisturised with a lovely glow. It also smells devine. I highly recommend.

Super soft body butter
I bought this as a gift after using this for the past 12 months. I have very sensitive skin and allergies to so many perfumed products so this is perfect. It’s gorgeous, soft and easy to apply and you only need a small amount to cover.

A special gift to rest and relax
I wanted a special gift to send to a friend who had undergone surgery. These were the perfect reminder that each time you light one of these beautiful wax melts you take time to rest, relax and enjoy the gorgeous scents filling your room.

Lovely Tallow Soap Collection
We love soap and bought this collection for Christmas. Very impressed - we're still using our first bar, Solara Bloom, and are finding it a really lovely soap to use - long lasting and moisturising. All the soaps look beautiful and we're looking forward to working our way through the rest of the collection.

Hi Guys,
It’s been another busy week in the studio, and I’ve been making lots of lovely things!
I’ve been working on a fresh batch of whipped tallow body butters, experimenting with new fragrances and textures. The studio has smelled absolutely gorgeous, particularly with Vanilla & Musk and Saffron, Rose & Oud filling the air. I may also have made rather more tallow butter than originally intended… but that’s another story! 🤣
There’s something I really love about this part of making. The experimenting, the little adjustments, and those moments when you try something and think, oh, that’s beautiful!
I’m also getting everything ready for the Christmas market, which is creeping closer by the day. There’s plenty to make, organise and pack, but I’m so looking forward to sharing it all with you.
As always, thank you for being here and supporting my little business.
