About Peachy
Welcome to Peachy Natural Skincare. My name is Sinéad, I am a medical scientist, PhD.
I am also a busy mum of 3, and founder and creator of the handmade, natural skincare range Peachy. Peachy was developed after I had spent years trying to find a suitable skincare routine for my sensitive skin. I was using a lot of the top brands advertised as being “designed for sensitive skin”, however, I did not see any difference. Having set up the research & development department in my previous role, I knew how to go about extensively researching a more natural, holistic approach to skincare.
How the name Peachy was born
I did a course in natural skincare and started to make products for myself, and so it began.
The name Peachy came from when I was younger. I have a naturally pale complexion, when I was younger I wasn’t too happy about this, my Mum used to tell me I had a “peaches & cream” complexion, and it made me feel so much better, and so the name Peachy was born.
We want you to be confident in the products you use on your baby’s skin
A solo venture to help my own skin soon gathered interest from my friends & family once they could see the glowing difference in my skin. Soon I had started a small little production line formulated at my kitchen table, which then progressed to selling at farmers markets & eventually to a successful online business that now has customers in every county of Ireland & abroad.
In December 2015, I became a Mum for the first time to a beautiful little boy, and so the natural progression into skincare for children began. Our little boy was swiftly followed by his sister 21 months later & another little sister 2 years after that, so it has been a very busy household! As parents we spend every day doing the best we can for our little ones, we are so conscious about what we feed them and put into their bodies & I feel it is so important to be aware of what we place on their skin too.
Our motto and tagline is, “Be kind to yourself, be peachy!”.
We really try to promote this amongst our followers to be kind to themselves each day in the hope to play a small part in helping to maintain a healthy state of mind.
Both Peachy and Peachy Baby hold the Guaranteed Irish status of which we are very proud to promote on all products.
