Founded by Karen Kearney in 2021, when she saw a need for a more natural approach to self-care rituals. Karen noticed that when her son spent time surfing in the Atlantic ocean it made a remarkable difference on the appearance of his hair and skin, but more importantly his overall mental wellbeing improved. He was joyful, calmer and more content.

Influenced by the therapeutic benefits of the sea and organic herbs from her Soak garden, each scent range was developed to help with sleep, anxiety, mood and energy levels, as well as treating the skin.

Bedtime Bliss helps with your sleep and anxiety, Joy Connects helps uplift your mood, Breathe Deep is fantastic to help you heal. Soak is passionate about helping your community and donates €1 to a mental health charity for every bath soak sold. Check out below about Liquid Therapy, the charity Soak is supporting this year.
