About Us

Hey, I’m Melanie, once a lawyer, now a soap making mum swapping briefs for body butter and courtrooms for cocoa butter!

One hot afternoon, I was walking through the park with my baby when everything changed. She started crying! Real, heartbreaking cries. Her little hands were in mitts to stop her scratching, and her skin was so irritated from eczema that she couldn’t settle. I felt helpless. I’d tried all the usual stuff, prescriptions, creams, but nothing seemed to help.

So I started looking into gentler, more natural ways to care for her skin. That’s when I discovered the magic of oils, butters, and botanicals - and how they could be turned into beautiful, nourishing skincare. I gave it a go, and slowly but surely, I began to see changes in how she felt. The crying eased, her sleep improved, and that gorgeous little smile came back.

Friends started asking me to make things for them, then their friends wanted some too, and just like that, Mel’s Little Luxuries was born.

Why I Do What I Do
I know how hard it is being a busy mum. You’re constantly giving to everyone else and barely get a minute for yourself. That’s why I make natural, luxurious products that turn your 10 minute shower into a mini spa break. My soaps, body butters, and balms are all about giving you a bit of love back.

What’s Inside
I only use skin loving, natural ingredients. Nothing complicated, nothing harsh. Just good, honest skincare that feels amazing and fits into your day without fuss.
