Episode 61: Donagh Quigley, The Handmade Soap Company: From Ireland, With Kindness

Today I’m very pleased to welcome Donagh Quigley of The Handmade Soap Company, based in Ireland, to the podcast. Donagh and I had a chance to record the day before St. Patrick’s Day, which given the brand’s Irish heritage felt fitting and special. This brand came from humble beginnings a decade ago and has grown into an international green beauty brand with #kindnesscomesnaturally as a guiding motto.

In this episode Donagh and I cover:

*The ride of green beauty in Ireland/the UK versus the US

*Parallels between the farm-to-table/natural foods movement and the green beauty movement

*A tour of the brand and the inspirations behind their scent collections

*An in depth discussion of the ANAM range, the latest addition to the brand with a focus on packaging sustainability and aesthetic beauty

*Donagh’s favorite wellness practices and inspirations
