Welcome back to the first limited edition bar from The Black Stuff. Here in Ireland, Relax the Cacks is a great bit of slang. Basically, it means "chill out!". But it's usually shouted at someone else in a slightly mocking tone, when they are being a bit overly dramatic, or nagging you to do something. The ingredients in this soap were all chosen not only for their scent but also for their relaxing qualities. Combine all of this and you will find this leaves you feeling relaxed, energized, and maybe even looking for some devilment.

IT BEGAN IN MY KITCHEN
Lockdown. Jan 2021. We weren't allowed to leave the house for months...
I decided to explore soapmaking... Equally crazy!
From 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.
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.
Committed to our Values
We still make every product the exact same way I used to make it in my kitchen.
We are committed to scaling by hiring & training people.
We manufacture using old school artisan techniques.
We only use natural ingredients.
And that won't change.
