Jo Browne, Founder and Owner, Jo Browne Beauty

Carlow-based holistic therapist, Jo Browne created her natural beauty and wellbeing brand in 2016, when she spotted a gap in the market for solid perfume and men’s cologne.   

Stocked in major retailers, including Kilkenny Design, and did have substantial airport sales, but lockdown has affected sales.

Handmade in Ireland, the range now includes award-winning natural skincare, including a cleansing balm and hydrating facial serum, luxury soaps, bamboo aroma diffusers and a sustainable bamboo pillowcase collection.

Jo spent lockdown finalising the production and marketing for the launch of a new body scrub and facial oil using all natural and sustainable ingredients.   She also worked day and night with her husband to create an alcohol-based fragranced hand sanitiser, to boost sales, and marketed a Fresh Hands hand lotion to counter the drying effects of frequent hand-washing.

The brainchild of twin sisters Lauren and Emma Oliver from Cork, the clothing is made from ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon yarn derived from pre and post-industrial waste such as discarded fishing nets. Plus, the stock is shipped instead of being transported in the air to reduce the brand's carbon footprint.
