Donegal Natural Soap - Lavender & Meadowsweet Irish Soap Bar 100g

The Donegal Natural Soap Company Handmade Lavender Soap

Bar Size: 100g.

Lashings of cocoa butter and shea butter in each bar make this soap seriously creamy and loved by skin.

It is enriched with meadowsweet herb, a widespread plant growing among our native hedgerows that is high in salicylic acid (a powderful anti-inflammatory). This soap is highly moisturising, and calming on the skin. The natural scents of french lavender, patchouli and cedarwood essential oils rest the mind and body. Its tinted hue of purple comes from the root of alkanet, a natural dye used for centuries to colour cloth.

About Donegal Natural Soap Company

Donegal Natural Soap by Isobel Sangha in Glenties is made with a blend of moisturising vegetable oil and butters, tinted with roots and spices and scented with natural essential oils for an aromatherapy treat. Donegal soap do not use palm oil, one of the most common oils found in most commercial and handmade soap today. This is because palm oil doesn’t have that much to say for itself in terms of skin benefits and is not sustainable for the planet.

The Story

The story of The Donegal Natural Soap Business begins in 2010 when my son, then aged 2yrs, was at the peak of a painful battle with atopic eczema. In my search for relief and healing treatment, I began to research the products we used daily and what they contain.

And so it began. Starting with a simple unscented oatmeal soap crafted from larder ingredients, I used it and loved it. My children loved it. I shared with my family; they loved it and wanted more. Well, you know where this story goes.

Since making the change to only natural soap, our son’s eczema and the skin health of all of our family has never looked back. Countless hours spent creating new recipes, foraging for ingredients and thousands more hours of research. Being able to work from home in my purpose-built workshop, following my passion and hearing of the real difference my products make to people.
