Whats Yer Poison - Limited Edition:
This limited edition, and its companion soap "The Shamrock Saint" tell the true story of St. Patrick. This soap starts with a similar base, but ends up very different from The Shamrock Saint. Where one is smooth, the other is rough. Where one is bitter, the other is sweet. "What's Yer Poison" is Irish slang for "what will you have to drink?". This soap is inspired by Snakebite, a mix of cider and beer and a once illegal way to cheaply get your buzz on. It represents the once-upon-a-time hard-working pagans of Ireland, who worked with their hands and truly earned their keep. They were courteously converted and civilized by Catholic "Saints" such as Patrick. Not many realize this, but Saint Patrick was never actually canonized as a saint, and originally hailed from England. That said, St. Patrick's day is today a wonderful celebration globally of all things Irish.

Actually Made By Hand
Actually Made By Hand
Every soap is hand-made in small batches, mixed and cut, and checked by a human. No soap-making robots here!
Patiently Crafted
Cured to Perfection
We actually take the time to cure our soap - during this process any water content evaporates, and the soap becomes longer lasting, less likely to break apart & performs better.
EST JAN 2021
IT ALL BEGAN IN MY KITCHEN...
Lockdown. Jan 2021. We weren't allowed to leave the house for months...
I decided to explore soapmaking... Everyone thought I was either crazy or having a midlife crisis. (maybe they were right!)
Humble Beginnings
They say to become an expert at something it takes 10,000 hours.
I reckon I passed that within 6 months.
All day, every day all I did was SOAP.
I did everything, from researching, experimentation, design, recipes, testing.
Washing. Making. Sweating.
I sold next to nothing.
PEOPLE LIKED IT!
But Somehow it Grew.
I don't know how. Maybe it was because I documented every step on Instagram & Tiktok and people wanted to support my craziness.
Or maybe I got lucky, and somehow came up with products that were incredible.
Maybe a bit of both.
OUR ETHOS

We still make every product the exact same way I used to make it in my kitchen.

We manufacture using old school artisan techniques.
