“History of Clarkes of Dublin: Craft, Family & Soap”

We have a historical family connection to the Liberties Cork Street where my Great

Grandfather Philip lived with his Wife Monica and children. He was a mamber of the

Irish Citizen Army involved in the 1914 Lockout and subsequently fought

and died on Easter Sunday in the 1916 Rising. This is why we are called

Clarkes of Dublin In Honour of Philip to bring his Legacy Forward.

Combining the creative force, artistic flair and substantial skill of Clarke herself, Clarke's of

Dublin prides itself on harnessing the best of local Irish ingredients sourced from all

around the country, including seaweeds harvested from the coasts of Galway and

Donegal , goat's milk from Offaly and the very best Atlantic sea salt from

West Cork and Clogherhead.

All carefully sourced raw materials are skillfully blended with the very best

olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba, eco soy wax, foraged seaweed, gorse from Howth, fresh

vanilla seeds and essential oils to create a range of bathing products for luxury and the

ultimate and body cleansing experiences. “Soap is now my passion,” explains Clarke.

“Although I never imagined I would end up making fine artisan bathing and shaving

products, I have always been driven by my desire to create, whether that is a piece of art

or sculpture, or something more practical like beauty products.
