The Shamrock Saint - Limited Edition:
This limited edition, and its companion soap "What's Yer Poison" tell the true story of St. Patrick. Both soaps start at the same place and are rooted in Vetiver Essential Oil, which has a thick manly scent with hints of earthiness, smokiness, and uncut grass. I imagine Ireland 2500 years ago could have smelled like this. But they end in completely opposite directions. One super smooth, silky, rich; refined; the other: rough, strong, and hard working. Related, and similar, but also polar opposites. One symbolizes the Catholics of Ireland, the other the Pagans. For that is the true story of St. Patrick, the shepherd (goat's milk) turned saint (silk). The snakes (charcoal) he drove from the land, in reality, were the native nature-based pagans whom he converted.

EST JAN 2021
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.
