Because You're Amazing | Gift Set

Donagh and Gemma Quigley are the founders of The Handmade Soap Company, one of Irelands leading and standard setting green beauty brands.

"We are literally the perfect cliché husband and wife start-up team, working out of the kitchen. We made our first soaps and brought them to the Showcase at the RDS. We had with eight different types of soap at that first show. The response was great, and we landed a couple of big orders and just grew the company from there.”

Operating from the Old Mill building in Slane, The Handmade Soap Company’s product range has evolved from those eight bars of soap to a range of handwashes, hand creams, shower gels, body butters, body lotions, shampoos, conditioners as well as bath salts and oils.

True pioneers of the wellness that accrues from natural products every bar of soap, every candle, every lotion is still shaped, poured, and perfected by the hands of 21 dedicated artisans in their Slane workshop. "That’s 21 pairs of caring hands, 21 moments of mindfulness, and 21 chances to infuse a little extra kindness into what we make."
