Elaine Kennedy, the founder of Hawthorn, grew up on a rural farm in Partry, Co. Mayo where she was introduced to many family traditions. Crafting, dressmaking, jam making and farming play a huge role in Elaine’s life and upbringing. Irish culture and a strong connection to nature inspired Elaine to start her business, Hawthorn Handmade Skincare.
Before starting her business, Elaine moved away from Co.Mayo to London, where she lived for many years. However, her connection to Ireland meant she moved back to the family farm to start a craft business.
Elaine carries her love for nature into her business by offering 100% recyclable packaging, avoiding unnecessary packaging, and only using 100% natural ingredients in her products.
Elaine’s philosophy is simple: “create skin nourishing products using 100% natural ingredients.”

“I have relied on Kinore to take care of the accounting and compliance requirements that are neccessary for Limited Companies in Ireland. I’ve noticed a big difference from when I started out to now. I feel more equipped to run a company now that I have my accountants support. I am informed about upcoming deadlines and I have a greater understanding of my requirements. The team also helped me move to online accounting software and I have a great relationship with my accountants – they are always happy to answer any questions I have.”
