About us..
Welcome to Castello de Haye
Founded in 2010 by James and Jacqueline Kennett in the serene heart of Hay-on-Wye, Wales, Castello de Haye is dedicated to creating premium, natural skincare and aromatics. Inspired by the pure, healing waters of Swan's Well, our products are crafted from the finest ingredients of the natural world, blending wild elements found in the surrounding Welsh countryside with carefully curated plant oils and pure essentials.
Alongside our own handmade creations, we carefully select and import the finest heritage collections from the natural world, including home fragrances from Portugal and natural perfumes from Norfolk.
Honest ingredients for skin and home
Our natural products blend wild herbs, lavender, chamomile, and rich, cold-pressed plant oils with the pristine spring water of Swan's Well. Whether we are handcrafting our traditional soap bars, blending pure essential oils, or formulating our natural room mists and nourishing balms, everything is made with ingredients that care for your skin and home without stripping or irritation.
- Gentle Formulations: Completely free from synthetic detergents, artificial fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemical preservatives.
- Aromatherapy & Skincare Ethics: Mindfully crafted in small batches, our entire botanical collection is strictly cruelty-free, palm oil-free, and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
- Thoughtful Packaging: We tread lightly on the earth by wrapping our solid soap bars in natural Kraft paper and biodegradable twine. For our liquid soaps, we use fully recyclable amber PET bottles to ensure safety in your bathroom and shower.

This balm is so good for my aging skin, taking any dryness away and leaving a delicate scent.

Too beautiful to use ! But smell amazing anyway.
It’s wonderful and I’ve already started using it. Not heavy, just a beautiful cream with a perfect smell. What’s not to like?!
This is an unusual scent but very pleasing, and it develops well. The packaging is lovely, very unusual, like the scent itself.
