Michael (Mike) O'Sullivan - Registrar & Information and Liaison Officer

Mike has been making soap for personal use for many years and and also teaches the art of soap making.  He became interested in the idea of raising public awareness of quality after purchasing an untested bar of soap at a market, and after using it having a bad reaction which took several hours to calm down.  After the bar of soap was checked by an experienced soap maker it was deemed to have been cheaply produced and scented using far too much fragrance or essential oils.
