The Moher Soap Co. was born from a simple need — to care for hardworking hands with something better. Years ago, both my husband and I struggled with dry, irritated skin from constant hand washing and harsh, commercially produced soaps. In search of a gentler alternative, I began experimenting in my kitchen with natural ingredients — slowly learning how to create soap that not only cleansed but truly cared for the skin.

As I explored the craft, I became captivated by the nourishing power of plants — especially those growing just outside our door here on Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast. With a background in science and years spent working in laboratories, I brought a curiosity and precision to the process, blending essential oils, herbs, and butters to develop gentle, effective formulations inspired by the natural world.

What began as a personal solution grew into a passion — and then into a business. Today, The Moher Soap Co. offers a range of handmade products including natural soaps, bath salts, lip balms, and candles, all crafted in small batches using sustainable, plant-based ingredients. Every product is made with care here in County Clare, just minutes from the Cliffs of Moher — a place that continues to inspire everything we do.

One of our soaps, Aill Na Searrach, takes its name from the powerful wave that breaks beneath the cliffs at Aileen’s — a spot beloved by my husband and revered by big wave surfers from around the world. It's a reminder of the raw beauty and mythic energy that shape this land and our work.

I’m so proud to share a little piece of this landscape with you — and I hope you enjoy using our products as much as I enjoy making them.
