Collection: Herbal Skincare

At Seaside Squirrel, the process of making herbal skincare is a labour a love. From start to finish, these little magic potions in a jar are prepared by hand, from tending to the plants to labelling the tins. 

Nurtured in a little herb garden in West Cork, all the plants used in the making of these luxurious ointments are native to Ireland and cultivated using organic methods. Over a period of several months, they will be dried, steeped in organic oils, and left to infuse in jars at a sunny windowsill like in the Olden days. This traditional folk method allows the oils to take on the therapeutic properties of the herbs used, and natural beeswax produced by local honeybees will be the only ingredient added to the mixture, to ensure the highest quality and purity of the products.
