It’s pronounced noo-nigh-ya.

If you’re a fan of natural, ethical skincare, you’ll have heard the buzz about the Irish brand Nunaïa Beauty and now it’s about to land in Cork.

The brand, founded by Nicola Connolly, who spent over a decade living, studying, and researching wellness with local communities, biologists, and healers in Ecuador and Peru, will be available in Blarney Woollen Mills and Meadows & Byrne, in Clonakilty from Thursday, March 9th.

Nicola follows a ‘soil to skin’ philosophy, meaning their unique raw ingredient sourcing and manufacturing process can be traced back through three simple production points.

All Nunaïa products have been formulated and crafted to nourish, restore and renew not just your skin, but your overall well-being and inner balance with simple ritual steps that bring more mindfulness to your skincare ritual.

All goodies, no nasties 

Star buys from the range include the multi-award-winning organic Nourishing Radiance Serum (€80), a deeply moisturising infusion created to help balance the skin’s natural moisture levels, and reduce redness and the appearance of inflammation.

The Superfood Cleansing Balm (€60) deeply cleans and removes even tough eye makeup without stripping or drying the skin. It also pulls double duty as a radiance-boosting mask.

The Sacred Space Candle (€26) is Ireland’s first eco-luxury candle, designed as the first step in the Nunaïa nighttime skincare ritual. Crafted to help relax, calm, and prepare you for a good night’s sleep, it’s made using 100 percent essential oils of lavender and rose geranium for deep aromatherapeutic benefits, with no synthetic fragrance, lead, or paraffin.
