The Skellig Soaps Story
The Skellig Soaps story began around 2004, when Alice first started making soap for our family. What began with a soap-making class grew into a passion for creating natural handmade products, followed by further courses in Ireland and London and years spent developing and refining our recipes.
From our workshop in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, we make our soaps, candles and skincare products by hand in small batches, using carefully chosen ingredients and our own distinctive blends.
Skellig Soaps has grown over the years, but the way we work remains much the same. We still make our products with care, serve customers from our shop in Cahersiveen, and take inspiration every day from the landscape, scents and character of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Made by Hand in Kerry
From our workshop in Cahersiveen, we make our soaps, candles and skincare products by hand in small batches.
We carefully select our ingredients and create our own distinctive blends, taking inspiration from the landscape, plants and scents of Kerry and Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Working in small batches allows us to keep a close eye on every stage of the process — from mixing and pouring to cutting, finishing and packing each product.
Inspired by Kerry
The Landscape
Kerry’s coastline, wildflowers and changing seasons are a constant source of inspiration for our products and scents.
Made in Small Batches
We make by hand in small quantities, giving each batch the attention and care that has always been part of Skellig Soaps.
Natural Ingredients
We choose ingredients thoughtfully, combining quality oils, botanicals and fragrances to create products that feel as good as they look.
Made With Care
We believe good products should be made thoughtfully — with care for the ingredients we use, the way we make them and the place we call home.
From working in small batches to choosing packaging and materials carefully, we try to make considered choices wherever we can while keeping quality at the heart of every product.
Thoughtful Packaging
We choose packaging with care, looking for practical ways to reduce unnecessary waste while still protecting each product properly.
Small-Batch Making
Making in smaller quantities helps us work carefully, reduce excess and keep close control over quality from start to finish.
Made Locally in Kerry
By making our products in Cahersiveen, we keep production close to home and support the character of a genuinely local Irish business.
