Felicity O'Donohue is a talented, = multi-tasking,=20 work from home Mum of two young boys who taught herself soap making via = YouTube.=20 She experimented with different methods before settling on the Cold = Press method=20 that she uses to craft her beautiful range today.

When I received the sample pack from = Karma Soap=20 Company, I felt like a kid in a candy store! I adore wonderfully smelly = products=20 so I immediately took a sniff of everything. The soaps smelt good enough = to eat=20 and I could probably do it with no trouble at all thanks to the simple = and=20 natural ingredients list.

Karma Soap=20
Company's products is that, =E2=80=9COur skin is the biggest organ our =
