Irish Nettle-Infused Skincare. Made To Do More.
Irish nettles. One bottle or jar, more than one use.
Nettles are best known for their sting. I discovered how much more there was to them when I set out to make skincare for my family with ingredients I understood. The nettles I’d always walked past gave me a place to start, right here on our certified organic family farm in North Leitrim.
Nettle leaves naturally contain vitamins C, E and K, several B vitamins and beta-carotene (provitamin A). My father, my children and I pick the leaves by hand and slowly infuse them in olive oil. After three years of research and development, both Améa formulas showed anti-inflammatory properties in lab tests at Munster Technological University, reducing markers associated with inflammation. They both comfort irritated skin.
Nettle-Infused Oil is silky and unscented. Use a few drops to soften nourish skin on your face or body, or to smooth dry hair ends.
Nettle-Infused Balm is richer and melts into dry hands, elbows and heels. It smells of lavender and sweet orange. As one customer put it, her skin “drinks it up”.
With Améa, you know where your skincare starts, what goes into it and how to use it. One bottle or jar, several uses and one less decision in your day.

What our customers are saying:
"I love everything about this balm, the smell, the texture, and how it melts straight into the skin. I use it before and after the sauna and my skin just drinks it up."
— Patricia
"My skin is very sensitive and reacts to most products, but the balm leaves it feeling calm, hydrated and comfortable, with no irritation."
— Yvonne
"I spent a day erecting sheep wire along a ditch full of briars and blackthorn, and my hands were scraped to bits and throbbing badly by evening. I tried the nettle oil that night and again the next morning, and the relief was almost instant. The soreness and throbbing practically disappeared."
— John
