- BY LOUISE WALSH

A SYRIAN entrepreneur is giving 15% of all sales her new breast milk soap to homeless charities to say thanks to Ireland for giving her the life of her dreams.

Reham Ghafarji, 28, a mother of two has been inundated with requests for her unique product.

She studied English literature at University in Damascus and had also worked as a beautician before fleeing her war torn country with her son to be with her husband Wasim, who came to Ireland ahead of his family to secure work as a chef.

She has been running a successful Soap More business for the last two years and has devised a new range of breast milk soap, which she calls liquid gold” for skin ailments.

Reham said: My soaps are made with 100% natural ingredients and vitamins, coloured using mild dye colouring and all have a soap base.

“Our soaps are highly moisturising, safe and gentle on the skin and are suitable for almost all skin types.

“I had an idea to make breast milk soap as it is high in fat and sugar and so makes really creamy and silky soap.
