Cosmetics that honour what grows beneath Irish skies
Every jar begins in the hedgerows and coastline of Munster. We harvest, formulate, and pour each product by hand — because your skin deserves ingredients with a story you can trace.
Find your formulaWhy we make what we make
Rooted in three quiet convictions
Wild-harvested first
We forage sea buckthorn along the Copper Coast and gather meadowsweet from the Comeragh foothills. Cultivated botanicals fill in only where wild harvesting would harm the ecosystem. Every plant is logged with GPS coordinates and harvest date so you know exactly where your product originates.
Batch transparency
Every lid carries a batch code. Enter it on our site and see the full ingredient chain — from the field notebook to the finished emulsion. We share lab reports openly because we believe opacity has no place in the cosmetics you put on your body.
Less, but considered
Our range never exceeds twelve products. Fewer formulations mean deeper research into each one — more stability testing, more skin-compatibility trials, and more time to refine textures until they feel instinctive on the skin rather than merely functional.
A morning in five minutes
Your daily ritual, simplified
Cleanse with the Bog Myrtle wash
A gel-to-milk cleanser infused with bog myrtle extract and oat lipids. It dissolves overnight sebum without stripping the acid mantle, leaving skin balanced and faintly scented with green herbal notes.
Mist the Hawthorn toner
Two spritzes of our hawthorn-berry hydrosol deliver flavonoids that calm micro-inflammation. Hold the bottle fifteen centimetres from your face and let the fine mist settle — no cotton pad needed.
Press in the Meadowsweet serum
Three drops warmed between your palms, then pressed gently onto damp skin. Meadowsweet salicylates refine texture over weeks, while hyaluronic acid pulls moisture from the mist you just applied.
Seal with the Sea Buckthorn balm
A rich, orange-hued balm that melts on contact. Sea buckthorn oil delivers omega-7 fatty acids that support the skin barrier, and beeswax from our apiary partner in Tramore locks everything in place.
Finish with the Elderflower lip tint
A sheer wash of colour derived from elderflower pigments and iron oxides. The twist-up crayon format means no brush, no mirror — just a swipe and you are ready to step outside.
Current formulations
What we pour this season
Meadowsweet clarity serum
Lightweight daily serum with natural salicylates that gently refine pore appearance over four to six weeks of consistent use.
Elderflower lip tint
Sheer botanical colour in a twist-up crayon. Available in three shades drawn from elderflower, beetroot, and blackberry pigments.
Bog Myrtle gel-to-milk wash
A transforming cleanser that starts as a clear gel and turns milky on contact with water, lifting impurities while preserving the skin's natural oils.
Ingredient sourcing
See behind every batch
Transparency in cosmetics should not be a marketing phrase — it should be a practice. Every product we release ships with a batch code printed on the lid. That code unlocks a page on our site showing:
- The harvest location and date for each wild-sourced botanical
- The supplier and country of origin for every supplementary ingredient
- Microbiological test results from our independent lab partner in Cork
- The name of the formulator who mixed and poured that specific run
- Shelf-life data based on accelerated stability testing at 40 °C
We publish this information because we believe the people who wear our cosmetics deserve the same data we use to make them. If an ingredient changes between batches — a different lavender cultivar, a new beeswax supplier — you will see it noted alongside the reason for the switch.
Our apiary partner in Tramore provides beeswax certified free from neonicotinoid residues. The sea buckthorn we use is hand-picked from a single stretch of the Copper Coast, dried within six hours of harvest, and cold-pressed in our Waterford studio. These details matter to us, and we think they will matter to you.
