Where it all began

Hello and welcome to Artio Skincare.

I can’t believe the day has actually come when I’m writing my first blog on the imminent launch of my very own 100% natural skincare range for Mum and Baby. 

To be honest I have a mixture of feelings right now. I’m nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time, is that even possible? It seems like a very long time since the idea of launching a natural skincare range came to mind and now the reality is so very close!  

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. I’m sure you’ll agree, this isn’t what 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.

Fast forward 12 months and the answer is here for you too. I really believe Artio Skincare is amazingly different. Not just because we’re a ‘truly’ natural skincare range for Mum and Baby, but because of how our products are made.  

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 guided by a doctor, as well as my passion for natural skincare. None of our products contain sulphates, parabens or synthetics, just pure, ethically sourced ingredients, vegan and cruelty free.

Every product in our Baby range is unfragranced and designed to nurture and protect even the most delicate skin. Our Mum range is just as natural. Crafted to enrich and revive using the most wonderful essential oils for supple, glowing skin and a precious sense of me-time. Luxurious and reassuringly pure!

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.

I absolutely love what we’ve created and hope you will too.
