The Dark Island Soap Co.: A Modern Heritage of Skincare

The Man Behind the Business

The Dark Island Soap Co. was created in honour of my beloved late father, Donald MacLellan.
Dad hailed from Lochboisdale, South Uist, in the beautiful Outer Hebrides of Scotland, with “The Dark Island” being a place we would spend many a happy vacation when dad was visiting his home.
Unfortunately, he passed away on the 31st of August, 2022, from Vascular Dementia.

A business owner himself, he served his apprenticeship with Croall & Croall of Stockbridge, Edinburgh and became a Volkswagen Specialist, going on to own and run his successful motoring business in the sought-after area of Morningside, Edinburgh for over 50 years.

It is a privilege to dedicate this business to my father, and keep his memory alive.

Tapadh leat,
Chiara ​

No 14 | Aurantium Compound, Clarifying Facial Cleanser with Sweet Orange Essential Oil

This beautiful anhydrous facial cleanser contains the organic oils of castor, sweet almond oil and vitamin E, with sweet orange essential oil and provides deep, gentle cleansing, intense hydration, and acne-fighting benefits. Castor oil helps to purge impurities, sweet almond oil helps to moisturise and vitamin E helps to repair the skin barrier. Scented with sweet orange essential oil which helps to brighten and reduce inflammation. Comes with an organic muslin cloth. This facial cleanser's amazing skin benefits!: - Castor oil is a nutrient-rich, plant-based oil that offers intense moisturisation, reduces acne, and fights inflammation, making it excellent for dry and ageing skin. Its high ricinoleic acid content promotes collagen production, reduces puffiness, and supports skin healing. It is best applied at night to lock in moisture. - Sweet almond oil is a nutrient-rich, lightweight oil packed with Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and fatty acids that deeply moisturise, soothe inflammation, and improve complexion. Ideal for sensitive and dry skin, it acts as a barrier to prevent moisture loss, reduces the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and dark circles, and promotes a youthful, radiant glow. Key Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil for Skin: Deep Moisturisation: It serves as an effective emollient, locking in moisture to soften dry, flaky skin. Rich in Nutrients: Contains high levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin A (retinoids), fatty acids, and zinc, which nourish the skin and stimulate new cell production. Soothes Sensitive Skin: It has anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness, sunburn, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Anti-Ageing Properties: The antioxidants, specifically Vitamin E, help fight free radicals, protect against UV-induced damage, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Improves Complexion: Regular use helps even out skin tone and improves overall skin health. Reduces Marks: It is used to minimise the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Non-Comedogenic (low): With a low comedogenic rating, it is generally safe for all skin types, including acne-prone, though a patch test is recommended. Vitamin E benefits skin by acting as a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals, intensely moisturising by strengthening the skin barrier to lock in hydration, soothing inflammation, protecting against UV damage, promoting wound healing, improving elasticity, and reducing signs of aging like fine lines and dark spots, making skin softer and more supple. Key Benefits: Antioxidant Power: Neutralises harmful free radicals from sun and pollution, preventing damage that leads to dullness and wrinkles. Deep Moisturisation: Strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, reducing water loss and keeping skin hydrated, soft, and smooth. Anti-Ageing: Protects collagen and elastin, maintains skin's firmness, reduces fine lines, and helps prevent age spots. Sun Damage Protection: Enhances sunscreen effectiveness and helps reduce redness and damage from UV exposure. Healing & Soothing: Calms irritated skin, reduces inflammation, and aids in scar healing. Improves Texture: Contributes to a more supple, elastic, and youthful complexion. Aromatherapy essential oils with skin benefits!: - Sweet orange essential oil benefits the skin by cleansing, reducing acne, and brightening the complexion due to its antibacterial, astringent, and antioxidant properties. When properly diluted with a carrier oil, it can improve the appearance of dull or oily skin, help fade dark spots, and promote a more youthful look by boosting collagen production. However, it is phototoxic, so you should avoid direct sun exposure after application. Key skin benefits: Antioxidant and brightening: The oil contains Vitamin C, which helps fight free radicals that cause premature aging. It can also help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Antibacterial and cleansing: It has antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria, keeping pores clear. Its cleansing properties can remove dirt and grime. Astringent and firming: Sweet orange oil acts as a natural astringent, which can help tighten the skin and refine pores. It may also promote cell growth and collagen synthesis, contributing to firmer skin. Like all of our products, this cleanser will compliment whichever masks, oils and creams works for you, but it does work in perfect synergy with our Celestial, Anhydrous Facial Clay Mask, our Solaris, Facial Day Concentrate and our Calendula, Luminous Facial Day Cream. Directions for Use: Application: with dry hands and a dry face (do not pre-wet your skin, as the oil needs direct contact with sebum and makeup to work), apply and massage, dispensing a quarter-sized amount of the oil into your palms. Gently massage the oil onto your face and neck for 1–2 minutes using upward, circular motions. Steam: Run a clean washcloth under very warm (not scalding) water and wring it out. Place the warm, damp cloth over your face for 30–60 seconds to open pores and allow the oil to loosen grime. Remove: Use the same warm cloth to gently wipe away the oil, makeup, and dirt. Repeat this process (rinse cloth, wipe) until the skin feels clean but nourished. Finish: Pat skin dry. No toner or heavy moisturiser is usually needed, as the almond oil leaves a light, protective barrier. 97% Certified Organic Ingredients: *Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, *Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, *Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel (Sweet Orange) Oil Expressed *Certified Organic Allergen Warning: Contains Citral, Limonene and Linalool (naturally present in essential oils). Photosensitivity Warning: Avoid direct sun exposure whilst using this facial cleanser, due to the essential oils which can cause photosensitivity on the skin. May contain nuts. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. For external use only. Net weight (approx), 150ml Batch number and use by date provided on labelling. No palm oil, SLS, animal fats, fragrance oils, or synthetic mica powders are used in our products, and our ingredients are at least 90% certified organic, plant-based, sustainable, cruelty-free and vegan friendly.

Chiara sent us her Chamomile Cold Process Soap. “The packaging was a real treat for the eyes, personalised with a thank you card and dried flowers, encased in beautiful tissue paper. Chiara added an extra special touch with the addition of night time sleep teas, to compliment the soothing scent of the soap. The chamomile and patchouli infusion is wonderfully relaxing and the perfect way to wind down by lathering yourself up in an evening bath or shower.The scent is beautifully delicate, yet potent enough that it leaves a hint of the aroma on your skin after showering.The soap truly felt like a spa treatment for the skin, treating it to a product made with natural ingredients, lovingly made by The Dark Island Soap Co.We would 100% recommend this soap and products made by Chiara. She is passionate about making organic skincare for all.”

About the Creator

Chiara MacLellan

Owner & Sole Creator of The Dark Island Soap Co. 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 Winter 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 beautifully effective, award-winning skincare, wildcrafted by nature and healing hands! As an avid herbologist, Chiara understands and appreciates the wonderfully healing power of nature, and, just like the seasons, everything takes its time. Small batch made, ensuring every product is not sitting on shelves for longer than necessary. Mostly all of the ingredients in her soaps, skin and haircare are locally foraged and sourced—better for you and the environment. In the autumn of 2022, after the loss of her father, Chiara studied Usui Shiki Rhoyo Reiki and is now a respected Reiki Master Healer, with a Shamanic Energy Healing and Crystal Healing diploma under her belt. A natural born healer and dream seer, Reiki has further deepened her path into spiritualism and mysticism, something that she is honoured to share through The Dark Island Soap Co.

Reduce~Reuse~Recycle

At The Dark Island Soap Co. we prioritise reusing and recycling. We use packaging that arrives from stock orders to break down and use as protective padding for your orders, and to also use as secondary "safety boxes" to house your main order boxes in. If we ever receive plastic, you may see it in with your order (as bubble wrap to take an example), as we would rather reuse this harmful material (hoping that you will, too!) than just discard it straight to a landfill.

Plastic Free Communities; Surfers Against Sewage

The Dark Island Soap Co. are proud members of the Plastic Free Communities; Surfers Against Sewage, showing our dedication to being a plastic free and eco-friendly business.
