Meadows – Pure Skin Care From the Farm
From One Mum to Another this Mother’s Day – Irish Company Meadows Pure Skincare Fresh from the Farm Gift Sets are curated from their range of specialist mother and baby products
For Claire Williams, running a skincare business was never part of her plan. But like with many great Irish women her successful business idea, born from a passion and knowledge of natural products, was developed and gathered speed at a kitchen table while juggling raising children and running a home.
Meadows Pure Skincare Straight from the Farm blends their carefully selected ingredients on the farm she shares with her husband, a third-generation dairy farmer, in Co. Wicklow and is where the business originated. After becoming a mother Claire began to struggle with her mental health, eventually being diagnosed with depression and anxiety after returning to work from maternity leave brought everything to a head. During this time Claire attended a workshop for creating your own natural skincare, which not only improved her anxiety and depression but helped her find a solution for her and her son’s dry skin which seemed resistant to every product they tried. The balm she created was soon being requested by friends and family for their friends and families!
Irish mums have been stretched to their limits this year and looking after their skin has probably fallen off many of their radars but Meadows Pure Skincare hopes that its beautifully curated gift sets can help encourage mums to look after their skin and squeeze in a little ‘Me Time’. For busy mums, The Complete Skincare Set, €55, contains everything she needs in one Fairtrade cotton bag. Meadow’s Cleansing Oil gently cleanses the skin of excess oil, products and even eye make-up without stripping the skin, while natural oils in The Revitilising Face Serum and Rejuvenating Face Cream are rich in anti-inflammatories and deeply moisturises. A muslin cloth is also included.
If you are looking for a luxurious treat, The Self Care Gift Set, €40, contains their The Revitilising Face Serum and a Jade Roller for an extra boost to its beneficial ingredient list which nourishes and protects the skin while minimising visible signs of ageing. Our Faces are not the only skin we need to look after, and The Sleep Well Gift Set, €46.50, tends to the body and mind. Sleep is essential for us to function optimally, and it is only when we sleep that our bodies produce the hormones necessary for skin repair and this gift set contains the Sweet Dreams Spritz and Meadows Candle alongside the Nourishing Body Oil to help encourage the body to wind down and promote a more restful sleep.
Dairy farming follows the cows’ natural cycles, living in harmony with nature is very much a part of Claire’s daily life and living as sustainable a life as possible is very important to her. All packaging is aluminium or glass, any products with a plastic spray head can be refilled and all packaging used when shipping is recyclable. And soon solar panels will be installed on the farm, generating enough electricity to power the farm, the family home and Meadows Pure Skincare.
