Our Roots, Reimagined
A Fresh Look, The Same Heart
Hello from Slane,
Here at The Handmade Soap Company, we’ve been quietly evolving. And we’re so pleased to share a new chapter with you: a refreshed look that brings us back to the heart of what we do best – creating simple, honest, and natural products that feel good in your hands and in your home.
A Return to Our Roots
Since 2010, we’ve been on a journey, handcrafting products in small batches in our mill in Slane, inspired by the belief that the simplest things are the most beautiful. That belief has guided us through every decision, and it’s shaped our refreshed design too.
Our new look is pared-back and natural – a reflection of our Irish heritage and the beauty of the ingredients inside. We’ve stripped away anything unnecessary, keeping only what matters most.
The result?
- Glass bottles where possible
- Minimal ink and materials
- A simple, timeless design that’s made to feel at home in yours
But while the outside has changed, the inside hasn’t. Every product is still made by hand, passing through 13 sets of hands before it reaches you. The same carefully chosen ingredients. The same love and care.
Designed for the Future
Our refreshed packaging is about more than just looks. It’s a conscious step towards a more sustainable future – designed for reuse and recycling, and crafted to have a low impact on the planet.
We’ve also made some thoughtful updates:
- Our soap bars are now 140g (at no extra cost)
- Our hand creams come in elegant new cartons
This rebrand is a celebration of where we’ve come from and where we’re headed. It’s a reflection of the journey we’ve taken since 2010, and a promise that we’ll always keep our values at the heart of what we do.
Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait for you to experience our new look – and to continue this journey with us.
With kindness,
Founder, The Handmade Soap Company.
