Isobel Sangha humorously maintains her business is steadily going down the drain… just in a good way! The Donegal Natural Soap Company uses the finest ingredients ,that are kind to skin and gentle on the planet to make their products

Isobel graduated from Queens University Belfast with a BE in Aeronautical Engineering. A lingering desire to work in the medical field led her to undertake an MSc in Bioengineering at Trinity College Dublin. After graduating, Isobel worked in the fascinating fields of medical device R&D and clinical research. It was there that she obtained invaluable experience in design, quality, regulatory and manufacturing that would later help her to set up her natural soap business.

The Donegal Natural Soap Company began in 2010 when Isobel's son, then aged 2yrs, was at the peak of a painful battle with atopic eczema. "I had a childhood steeped in nature and foraging and it soon became apparent that environmental factors play a key role in skin health. The lasting solution for my family had to start at home, with natural products." And so The Donegal Natural Soap Company came into being.

Isobel’s products focus on helping people feel comfortable in their own skin; choosing ingredients that are dedicated to this. She is always in and looking to nature for solutions to health and well-being; happiest when donning her wellingtons to forage for a free hedgerow munch or identify a new wildflower or herb.
