Our Story

Born from the need
to heal gently

Made by Dermot began in a small kitchen in County Down, born from a personal struggle with sensitive skin and a desire to create something truly gentle.

Every product is crafted in our apothecary in small batches using pure natural ingredients only — essential oils, never fragrance or perfume. Carefully chosen for those who need extra care: babies with delicate skin, expectant mothers, and anyone living with eczema or psoriasis.

We believe that what you put on your skin matters. That's why every ingredient is transparent, every batch is traceable, and every product is made with love.
