About Us

Far away (or probably up the road from you, depending on where you live) in the land of Tipperary, Glanú was founded by Dave & Vicky. Glanú means 'cleanse' in Irish (with some modification for fun)

After a lot of experimentation and feedback, we created a bar we are truly proud of, and which we use ourselves. 

It's no secret that many of the products we use these days are filled to the brim with bad stuff. Many people use synthetic shower gel for decades and wonder why they feel unwell and why their skin is dry and unhealthy. Most soap bars and shower products are not made to be kind to your body. Allergens, irritants and carcignogens are everywhere, and the beauty of traditional soapmaking has taken a back seat.

Until we decided it could be revived. We use high-quality ingredients like oils and butters and ONLY use essential oils for scents.

Our soap bars are made using traditional methods - the cold process (and sometimes hot process) way, handcut and stamped before being left to cure for 4-6 weeks before going on sale. 

Every bar has a bit of Ireland in it - some even have Irish-sourced seaweed, sea moss and organic honey. 

We strive to have every bar represent the beauty and purity of Irish nature, and to make a difference in your life by providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced, harmful products. Every wash should feel like it's taking place under a waterfall on a brisk morning in the Irish outdoors.
