Situated on Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast, Kinvara Skincare has grown from a small kitchen table idea into one of the country’s most loved natural skincare brands.
Proudly “Galway Grown”, Kinvara blends the creativity and resilience of the west with a commitment to innovation and sustainability, bringing effective, plant-powered formulas to customers near and far.
Behind the scenes
Founded in 2010 by Dr Joanne Reilly, a scientist with a passion for botanicals, Kinvara was born from Joanne’s frustration with the lack of clean, results-driven products on the market. What started as a hero 24Hr Rosehip Face Serum has evolved into a full range, carefully developed by a close-knit team based in Galway.
Together they champion a philosophy that skincare should be simple, effective, and a pleasure to use, while also looking after people and the planet.
Hero products and community impact
From the award-winning 24hr Rosehip Face Serum to the cult-favourite Absolute Cleansing Oil, Kinvara’s products are formulated to deliver visible results using high-performance plant extracts and organic plant oils.
Each formula is cruelty free and vegan friendly, with thousands of five-star reviews from loyal customers who love how the products help them feel good in their skin. Beyond skincare, Kinvara supports local and international initiatives and reflects its belief that good business should give back.
What’s ahead
Kinvara continues to innovate, with exciting launches planned for the year ahead. A major milestone is the brand’s expansion into Canada, where a newly signed partnership with a leading distributor will introduce Kinvara’s much-loved range to customers across the country.
From independent health stores to select retailers, Canadian shoppers will soon discover the award-winning product range that have made Kinvara a favourite at home in Ireland.
Alongside this international growth, the team is working on a strong new product pipeline designed to give customers more of the results they love.
Whatever comes next, Kinvara’s focus remains unchanged: crafting thoughtful formulations, championing responsible choices, serving customers and maintaining a strong connection to its Galway roots while sharing its story on a global stage.
