Soap Alchemist, Holistic Herbalist and Reiki Master
About the creator and owner of The Dark Island Soap Co. Chiara, an Edinburgh native who now resides in the beautiful Stirlingshire countryside with her young family, has been a full-time self-taught soap maker since the end of 2022, where she also studied for and completed a business diploma in soap making, learning about the importance of creating cold process soap safely. Along with being a traditional soap maker, Chiara now creates incredibly effective skincare also powered by infused herbs and botanicals. An avid herbologist, Chiara understands and appreciates the wonderfully healing power of nature, and captures the beauty of natural ingredients which we reap the benefits from with her award-winning handcrafted range. Chiara also loves foraging locally to her home and uses her kitchen space for all her dehydrating, infusing and soap/skincare making purposes! In the autumn of 2022, after the loss of her father, Chiara studied Reiki therapy and is now a much respected certified Usui Reiki Master, with a Shamanic Energy Healing and Crystal Healing diploma under her belt.
