From Farm to Skin: the Story of Bó Bar Soap and Othre Inspiring Finds
When Gail Daniels’ daughter developed eczema at the age of two, the Kilkenny-based mum tried everything—steroid creams, harsh lotions, and countless remedies. Nothing worked. Resolute to find a solution, Daniels turned to the cows on her family farm, using their whole milk to create a soothing, natural soap. This marked the birth of Bó Bar Soap, a range of handmade soaps free from palm oil, parabens, synthetic colours, and chemicals.
The Bó Bar Soap collection includes an original unscented base recipe and bars infused with natural ingredients like honey, oats, tea tree, lavender, calendula, and nettle. Each bar, weighing approximately 100g, is crafted on the family farm and packaged in fully biodegradable, compostable cow print. Priced at €7.95, these soaps are a testament to lasting, skin-friendly care. For more details, visit bobarsoap.ie.

What sets Bó Bar Soap apart from other soap brands? A: Bó Bar Soap is truly a labor of love. Gail Daniels created these soaps out of a genuine need to soothe her daughter’s eczema, using ingredients sourced directly from her family farm.

Moreover, the cow print packaging, which is fully biodegradable and compostable, adds a unique, eco-amiable touch. It’s a perfect blend of simplicity, natural care, and sustainability. Q: The Bó Bar Soap range includes several infused bars. Which one would you recommend for those with sensitive skin? A: For sensitive skin, I’d recommend the original unscented base or the oatmeal and honey bar. The oatmeal helps to gently exfoliate and soothe the skin, while honey has natural antibacterial properties and is rich in antioxidants. Both options are gentle yet effective, making them ideal for those with delicate or easily irritated skin.

The accompanying workbook provides an excellent tool for children to process their emotions and thoughts. I think it’s a fantastic resource for families going through tough times.

A: I believe children will enjoy the interactive workshops the most. Getting hands-on experience in calligraphy, dumpling making, and crafts allows them to engage with the culture in a fun and meaningful way. Plus, the performances of dance, music, and poetry will expose them to traditional Chinese art forms. It’s an opportunity for families to learn, create, and celebrate together, and I highly recommend it.

A: art prints like Pat Byrne’s ‘Alice Watching Butterflies’ can greatly benefit a child’s development and mood. First, they stimulate creativity and creativity, encouraging children to engage with the artwork and create their own stories. Second, the whimsical nature of such prints can definitely help promote a positive mood and reduce stress, especially when placed in a child’s bedroom. moreover,they offer an opportunity to discuss various artistic styles and techniques,fostering a love for art from an early age.
