Using only the highest quality, effective ingredients, Hibernicis honours not only the body but also the beauty and heritage of Ireland. While skincare has typically focused on the face, Hibernicis shifts the attention to bodycare, providing innovative and time-honoured techniques to nurture the remaining 90% of your skin — often neglected yet equally deserving.
During a journey through the ethereal landscapes of Connemara, Ireland, founder Catherine Logue was captivated by its stark beauty and solitude, sparking the inspiration to create Hibernicis Bodycare. Identifying a need for a range that combined luxurious application, skin-feel, superior ingredients, and efficacy, alongside her wish to promote equal care for all of our skin, she embarked on its development in 2015.
We are dedicated to seeking out the latest scientific advancements to enhance our formulations with the safest and most effective ingredients. Our ongoing commitment is to increase the use of the most natural ingredients available. At present, Hibernicis products contain a minimum of 95% natural and naturally derived ingredients.
Wherever possible, we prioritise natural ingredients. When this is not feasible, we opt for naturally derived ingredients—natural substances modified to optimise performance. Only when no alternative exists do we resort to synthetic ingredients, all of which are effective, safe, and globally approved by regulatory authorities.
Exceptional texture and skin-feel have always been - and continue to be - core principles of our product development. From our silk-like Body Serum and rich, indulgent Body Lotions to our gently smoothing Exfoliator, every product in our range is designed for effortless application and long-lasting moisture.
In the ancient Celtic world, water was the source of life and health. Celts bathed in sacred rivers and offered gifts to the springs and rivers. In ancient Irish medical tracts, it is found that bathing was frequently prescribed for healing.
Travel across Ireland and you will come across pillars of stone with lines etched along their edges. Each row of notches is part of an ancient system of runes known as Ogham. At Hibernicis, we honour and celebrate Ireland's cultural and linguisitic heritage. Our brand is also written in Ogham on the front of each product and is given a Gaelic name, complete with its translation and approximate pronounciation.
