Introducing Cyril Coffee Soap: A Circularity Project In Action

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Cyril Coffee Soap, a new addition to our sustainable initiatives at Green Hill Farm Holiday Village in the New Forest. This isn’t just any soap, it’s a carefully crafted product born from collaboration, creativity, and a B Corp commitment to circularity.

A Unique Collaboration

These soaps have been lovingly handmade by Kernow Soap for our Cornish parks and Cyril’s Soap Shed for our New Forest location, Green Hill Farm. They’re created using coffee grounds collected directly from our parks’ kitchens, a perfect example of turning waste into a wonderful, useful product. During the soap-making process, which takes several weeks, the coffee aroma fades, but the grounds remain to provide gentle exfoliation. The result? A luxurious, natural soap that’s perfect for hands and body.

Sustainable Luxury

Catherine from Cyril’s Soap Shed explains:

“We were thrilled to collaborate with Green Hill Holiday Village to create a new soap using their coffee grounds. Recycling and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. Using excess coffee grounds allows us to combine our passion for making amazing soaps with environmentally conscious practices. Coffee soap is rich in antioxidants and mildly exfoliating, and combined with our creamy New Forest goats’ milk, it creates a little slice of luxury that’s perfect for sensitive skin.”

From Park to Soap

Here’s how it works:

1. Coffee is brewed at our parks.
2. The grounds are collected instead of going to waste.
3. They’re incorporated into the soap during a four week curing process.
4. The finished soap returns to our parks for guests to enjoy.
   

Alisha, B Corp Champion at Green Hill Farm, adds:

“I’m so pleased with the result! Huge thanks to everyone who collaborated to bring this idea to life. I’ve tried one of the testers myself and it’s super exfoliating and soothing. I’m excited to create signage in our park shop highlighting the benefits of our newly introduced coffee soap and its sustainable, B Corp-friendly credentials.”

A First of Its Kind?

This coffee soap project might even be a first in the industry, showing how holiday parks can lead in sustainability while offering something truly special to guests.

By choosing Cyril Coffee Soap, you’re supporting local artisans, reducing waste, and enjoying a handcrafted, natural soap that’s as gentle on your skin as it is on the planet.
