An ode to Ireland, Hibernicis’ logo is presented in ancient Ogham script and its products all bear Gaelic names.
As a body care fiend, I thought my life was complete when Bath & Body Works finally set up shop in Hong Kong. But now, it seems like something even better has come to the city, this time in the form of Irish skincare brand Hibernicis. I guess now my life is truly complete.
Inspired by the wild and untouched Connemara on the west coast of Ireland, Hibernicis celebrates the country’s cultural and linguistic heritage with its bath and body care range. At its heart, the brand is driven by the search for the most efficacious and naturally derived ingredients suited for all skin tones, types and gender.
Seaweed, from the surrounding Atlantic coasts, is a crucial ingredient throughout Hibernicis’ range. Its extract is packed with vitamins K, B, A, and E, which help improve skin tone, texture and elasticity, and delivers antioxidants to fight free radical damage.
“For me, Ireland is an incredibly beautiful land with a fascinating and complex history,” says founder Catherine Logue. “Hibernicis is my journey of developing a range which reflects how I feel about the country.”
Hibernicis’ range currently includes Glan, a lightly scented, low-foaming bath and shower gel; Athlíon, a body lotion with a blend of rosewater; Síoda, a highly absorbent body serum; Úr, an exfoliating gel designed to be massaged on dry skin prior to bathing; and Cara, a hand cream supported with nourishing natural oil extracts, seven seaweed extracts and Vitamin E.
