Rí Na Mara

In the early 20th century, scientists uncovered a remarkable similarity between our blood plasma and seawater. Recognizing the crucial composition and concentrations of certain trace elements, vitamins, and minerals essential for our health, Rí Na Mara delves into the ocean's depths to harness the power of marine algae. These marine wonders stand as the primary active ingredients in Rí Na Mara's skin and body care range.

With meticulous care, Rí Na Mara handpicks a diverse selection of organic seaweed species, harvested by local cutters in Connemara using traditional and sustainable techniques. This ensures that the pristine West of Ireland coastline remains untouched.

Rí Na Mara employs a unique and gentle extraction method, preserving the therapeutic and revitalizing properties of the seaweed. Complemented by pure botanical extracts, the beneficial algae extracts form the foundation of Rí Na Mara's active beauty range. Packed with Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, amino acids, antioxidants, and a rich collection of minerals such as calcium, iron, iodine, and phosphorus, easily absorbed from seaweed, this skincare regimen enhances the skin's physiological functioning.

Liz Christy

Liz Christy, designer hand-weaver is inspired by Art, from paintings to poetry. She infuses her handwoven scarves with the hues of the changing seasons. Her colour palette echoes her surroundings; the fresh hues of springtime daffodils and bluebells, the vibrant highlights of the Irish summer landscape followed by rich shades of autumn and water-filled winter scenes

In describing her weaving, Liz says ‘the threads pass through our hands many times during the process from start to finish. Time is what goes into every rhythmically handwoven piece. In her down-to-earth way, Liz’s passion for what she does began over thirty years ago, and she has been building relationships with her customers and suppliers since. This authenticity is woven into each scarf. Her designs feature mainly natural materials – beautiful Donegal yarns, specially spun bouclé wool and kid mohair, and locally bred Alpaca. During the handdyeing process, these yarns take on part of her colour-loving soul in magical alchemy, resulting in memorable and vibrant colours.
