Wedding Favours

Dish soap...made with Coconut oil and lemon essential oil. Smells so fresh and zesty...and really good at cleaning the dishes too!

SóPA will be at the Cavan Cottage Market on Sunday 5th September from 12pm to 4pm. Come along and support some wonderful local food and craft producers - a lovely way to spend an afternoon 🌻🌾

Soap labelling... one of my favourite tasks in preparation for the weekend markets 😊 It's so satisfying to wrap each soap in its recycled Kraft paper band. I design, print and hand-cut every soap label too so each soap is truly a labour of love ❣

New batch of Lavender soap ...with a makeover! Pared back and simple. Nourishing, cleansing, and smells amazing.

Really enjoyed having the chats and reminiscing of 80's Dublin with Marian at Jenny Vander this afternoon. And delighted with my purchase of this gorgeous skirt too! 🥰

Our SóPA Kitchen Soap provides a rich creamy lather and is naturally antimicrobial. The added Tea Tree and Lavender essential oils make it perfect for hands, kitchen, bathroom and any other spots that need a really good clean!

Speaking of Himalayan Salt Soaps...

SóPA Himalayan Salt & Lemon / Lavender Spa Bars are naturally exfoliating but also intensely moisturising, leaving skin softened and soothed. These are bath bars, so are slightly larger, and can be dropped into the bath water for a few minutes to give a lovely salt soak. Of course, they can be used in the shower too! Himalayan Salt is also said to provide relief for skin conditions such as psoraisis and eczema. As with all handmade soaps, there will be some variation in appearance between soaps and batches.

Another scorcher here at SóPA. Delighted with my new half door too, supplied and fitted by

They did a fantastic job fitting 6 french windows and this lovely door in the blistering heat. Well done guys 😊 I hope you have recovered!

I've been soaping all day in the heat - so am now looking forward to a nice cool shower with some lovely Himalayan Salt soap ❤ my current favourite!

Very excited to introduce the first in a series of soaps I'm working on - inspired by and referencing the beautiful landscape of West Cavan.

no.1 Legnashinna - Shannon Pot. The reputed source of the River Shannon, the longest river in Ireland.

Legnashinna, meaning the hollow of the Shannon, is a deep dark pool near Cuilcagh mountain and is about 16m wide and 14.6m deep.

Handmade with olive and coconut oils and kaolin clay, Legnashinna soap is a dark soap tinted with activated charcoal and scented with lovely organic patchouli essential oil. Wonderful for the skin...and mind.

no.2.....coming up soon!

Gardener's Scrub soap ...with tea tree oil, lavender oil, spirulina and poppyseeds.
You can clearly see my inspiration here - beautiful landscape 💚

Plastic Free July - Plastic Free Always

SóPA Lavender bars...with lots of lovely exfoliating crushed lavender buds.
