About The Company
Hawthorn Handmade Skincare creates and sells skincare products. Her products include nourishing body butter made from shea butter and sweet orange, protective lip balms made from mango butter and peppermint and protective hand balm, made from mango butter and lavender.

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.
What does being a business owner mean to you?
-
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 needed to find an accountant I could trust.''
