About us
Lovingly came to life in 2020, from the heart and home of Aylin.
With her background in account management and missing the buzz of the business world, Aylin dreamed of launching her own brand one day.
Inspired by the love of her two children, she wanted to sell all-natural, environmentally friendly home and beauty products that would help their future and leave a better world behind for them.
When is there ever a good time to take such a leap of faith? With the love, support and encouragement of her family, Aylin did just that during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, and started Lovingly from her own home.
One year on and we at Lovingly are delighted to be celebrating our first birthday.
So what has changed>
With the coronavirus pandemic still dominating our lives, from the outside it doesn’t look like much has changed at all. BUT we have been very busy at Lovingly and have added more ethically sourced, natural olive products.
Why Lovingly?
Not only are all of our products lovingly sourced, lovingly made and lovingly delivered, but the names of Aylin’s two children also begin with the letter L.
We continue to be dedicated to selling products that are pure and simple, using only the highest quality and ethically sourced ingredients, so they won’t harm you or the planet.
To sit alongside our 100% natural face and body soap bars we have sourced beautiful olive wood products made from retired olive trees that would otherwise be burnt. The wood from an olive tree is absolutely beautiful, very strong and 100% natural.
These products are a perfect fit for Lovingly and its aims.
About our products
Our Soaps
But there’s even more to love about our products than their eco-friendly factor; what they are made of is pretty special too. The beautiful face & body soap bars sold at Lovingly are made from the highest quality ingredients, including premium olive oil, ethically sourced from the North Aegean area of Turkey.
Thanks to its wealth of dermatological benefits, premium olive oil has been used in skincare and beauty products for centuries. Not only is this ingredient rich in natural antioxidants and anti-ageing vitamins, it also has anti-inflammatory properties that make it popular for treating eczema and acne.
Our soap bars are also beautifully nourishing and conditioning too. Unlike soaps produced in big factories, these soaps go through a specially developed production process that ensures they retain their natural glycerine, which locks in moisture.
As well as their oil base (olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil), the soap bars also contain rosemary leaf extract – another natural, anti-ageing anti-oxidant. This valuable botanical ingredient is rich in calcium, iron and vitamins, making it highly effective for reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, as well as for tightening pores.
It’s as simple as that: Four 100% natural, top quality ingredients, ethically sourced and lovingly made into a product that is as kind to your skin as it is to the planet.
Our Olive Wood Range
All of our wood products are made from retired olive trees, so even after the trees stop producing fruit, the retired tree can be used for its wood.
Olive wood is very strong, dense and rich in colour, and is prized all around the world for its appearance, straight grain and fine texture.
Visually, Olive wood has a strikingly rich and colourful appearance, which makes it perfect for our beautiful and practical bowls, boards and dishes. Its structural features are highly contrasting brown lines and yellow streaks of sapwood, even more importantly, the surface of olive wood can be easily polished to a high degree.
During cutting, it has a distinct, pleasant and sweet odour, and this odour usually remains present in the finished product for several years.
We at Lovingly are very pleased and proud of our retired olive wood range and we hope you love them too.
