Elave Skincare

Elave Skincare Sensitive Skin doesn't have to get in the way of life. Happy. Skin. By Gardiner Family Apothecary since 1934. B Corp Certified

Gardiner Family Apothecary, the home of Ovelle and Elave skincare have been providing sensitive skincare solutions since 1934. We have dedicated ourselves to redefining safer sensitive skincare without harsh chemical ingredients that are linked to flare up in sensitive skin. This is especially important for those of us with extra sensitive, dry skin and those of us prone to eczema, dermatitis, rosacea and psoriasis. We knew the body and especially the face can be extra sensitive to harsh foaming agents, preservatives and perfumes. Elave's multi-action formula hydrates, softens and calms the skin, however delicate, everyday. Recommended in Pharmacies nationwide, Ovelle skincare has quite literally been passed from generation to generation since 1934. Not many Irish companies can claim that legacy in Irish Pharmacy today. Ovelle is well known for its expertise in dermatology and pharmaceutical manufacturing and has earned its place as one of Irelands most successful family businesses. Founded in Dundalk by Joseph Gardiner in 1934, Ovelle formulated a wide range of apothecary skincare such as Aqueous Cream, Emulsifying Ointment, Silcock's base, Calamine Cream and more. This expertise formed the foundations for Elave skincare, Ovelle's flagship brand for dry sensitive skin. Our formula's "free from" list is the most innovative in the sensitive care market making it a top recommendation for reactive, easily irritated dry, sensitive and eczema prone skin. Elave's entire range is free from parabens, sodium laurth sulfate (SLS), fragrance, soap, alcohol, peanut ingredients, colourants, phthalates, triclosan, formaldehyde and lanolin, ensuring gentle, irritation-free use. Elave skincare is safety tested and clinically trialled.
