Our Story

It all began not long after our son Tom was born. Our little Tom struggled with a few skin irritations from the early days, including cradle cap, eczema and teething rash. As a mother I wanted to help him as much as I could. We tried a number of lotions and creams recommended by friends and our GP but nothing really helped long-term. The general medical solution to these types of skin irritations seems to be hydrocortisone cream. This wasn’t something I wanted to be depending on, on a regular basis! Babies’ skin is delicate!

Cutting a long story short I decided to try some natural skincare. Finding a ‘truly’ natural baby skincare range proved difficult but with a lot of research and perseverance I eventually found a small range of products that began to help Tom. The products themselves were fragrance free but aimed primarily at adults, not ideal. There had to be a better solution for us?

There was – my solution was to create my own 100% natural skincare range. A simple, honest range that Mums can trust – not only with their baby’s delicate skin, but with their own as well.

Everything is handmade in small batches on the north coast of Ireland using only premium, 100% natural ingredients. All our formulas are unique and have been have been created and tested by a team of skin experts.  None of our products contain sulphates, parabens or synthetics, just pure, ethically sourced ingredients, vegan and cruelty free.

Keeping the planet in mind and to protect the freshness of our products, our entire range is simply packaged in recyclable, reusable paper and glass designed to look and feel beautiful.

We are a multi-award winning Mum and Baby Skincare Brand and I absolutely love what we’ve created.

My absolute favourite products are our Baby Balm (every family needs this in their bathroom cabinet), a great all-rounder for any skin problems.

And also our Stretch Mark Oil and Luxurious Bath Bombs which are perfect for pampering. You end up so relaxed and smelling like a spa!
