For the second year running, luxury spa company Voya has been selected to gift US First Lady Michelle Obama to mark St Patrick’s Day.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will make his traditional visit to the White House to meet President Barack Obama, taking with him a bespoke Voya gift box as a special present from the seashores of Sligo.

The First Lady’s box contains a luxury selection of Voya’s body range, featuring its newly designed packaging. Included is the company’s ‘Invigorating Seaweed Soap’, which has a spearmint and rosemary scent; the nourishing ‘Handy to Have Reparative Hand Crème’, infused with lavender, rosemary and lemon essence; ‘Angelicus Serratus Nourishing Body Oil’; and the ‘Softly Does It’ body moisturiser enriched with lime and mandarin.

“It’s an honour and a privilege to be once again Ireland’s gift of choice for the First Lady,” said Voya founder Mark Walton. “Last year we gifted a selection of our facial products so we are looking forward to Michelle Obama receiving some of our beautiful, newly designed body range products.”
