Laura Holly, a nurse and community herbalist from Wicklow, started Sugarloaf Botanics in 2020 as a way to help people reconnect with nature through a range of herbal products, from lip balms to bath salts, body butters to herbal first aid kits, all made with plants grown and foraged in Wicklow.

I grow and gather all the botanicals that go into this range of herbal skincare here on the Sugarloaf mountain. All my products are made with intention and with seasonality in mind.. as the weather changes so does our skin, and so do the plants that grow around us, and so it creating these products is most certainly a symbiotic relationship.

My new seasonal candles are topped with dried heather and gorse from the Sugarloaf, bringing a little of this wild landscape into your homes.
