How We ethically source Irish Seaweed for Handmade Soap
At Clarke’s of Dublin, our artisan soaps begin with the finest
locally sourced ingredients. One of our most treasured ingredients
is Irish seaweed, carefully foraged along the wild coasts of Galway
Why Seaweed? Seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals,
and antioxidants that nourish and hydrate the skin. It also
supports sensitive skin and adds a naturally luxurious texture to
our soaps.
Sustainable Foraging Practices:
our seaweed is harvested responsibly, ensuring the
ecosystem remains unharmed. Only a select types of
seaweed are collected at optimal times to preserve our
precious marine environment.
From Coast to Soap Bar:
Once harvested, the seaweed is expertly dried then macerated with
olive oil, coconut oil. we then add Irish spring water to craft our
signature soaps, such as the Donegal Seaweed Handmade shaving Soap.
Our commitment to sustainable:
high-quality ingredients ensures each soap is not only gentle on
your skin but also environmentally responsible.we have always
respected the natural ingredients that ireland has to offer. we never
take more that we need. thats why small batch making is at the heart
of what we do.
