Brand overview
C Beauty is the ultimate in slow beauty and self-care. Founded by Fiona Costello on the West Coast of Ireland, its range is handcrafted in small batches in Connemara and focuses on connection, care and creativity. C Beauty Rituals are finely crafted and rooted in self-care and it takes two weeks to infuse precious plants full of antioxidants and the locally-harvested sea kelp powder to create C Beauty’s nutrient-rich botanical oils. Each infusion is ‘charged’ with Amethyst & Rose quartz for extra therapeutic properties and each product in the range comes with detailed descriptions and demos so customers can create a botanical spa experience in the luxury of their own home. Formula Botanica helped by firstly training Fiona in the basics and the importance of testing, researching and making formulations before helping her zone in on niche markets and the formulations she wanted for her brand. Fiona has continued to be a member of the Facebook group so she can keep up to date. She says she feels supported even after graduating from her courses, as the Formula Botanica online community offers so much mentoring and peer support.
