Handcrafted soaps
Julie Darnat · Mirlo · the Loire region of France
Julie Darnat is the founder of Mirlo, a botanical skincare studio based in the Loire region of France. Working in small batches, she creates handcrafted soaps and skincare using the traditional cold process method and carefully selected botanical ingredients. Rooted in a close relationship with nature, her practice draws on locally sourced plants, organic oils, and time honoured techniques to create products that respect both the qualities of natural materials and the slower rhythms of handmade production.
Handmade in the Loire region of France using the traditional cold process saponification method, Osanyin combines starflower oil and white clay. Finished with notes of patchouli and bergamot, it is suitable for the face, body, and hands while preserving the natural qualities of its botanical ingredients.
