Honeybee health research inspires leading Irish body care brand

AN Irish body care brand which is winning fans across the country has finally launched in the UK.

Nuasan, the brainchild of Galway entrepreneur and scientist Dara Scott, creates natural, biologically effective lotions, washes and wipes for people leading an active lifestyle.

Vegan friendly, the products combine science and sustainability to offer self-care solutions that specifically focus on post-exercise, downtime recovery and wellness – from body washes to moisturisers and foot care.

Designed to “facilitate wellness from the outside in”, the science behind the Nuasan range comes from Mr Scott’s many research experiences to date – which stretch from time spent in underwater robot research, to working on improving the health of honeybees and ultimately to human health.

“Dara started his entrepreneurial journey in 2010 developing natural extracts to improve honeybee health,” a Nuasan spokesperson confirmed.

“The beekeeping brand, HiveAlive, is now available in over 40 countries worldwide and is leader in its category.”

They add: “A ‘lightbulb’ moment came when Dara realised there was an opportunity to harness the power of natural, active ingredients that were keeping honeybees healthy and apply them to a new category – body care for humans.”

After four years of research and development, using the team’s expertise in blending natural active extracts, Nuasan Active Skin & Bodycare was launched in January 2020.

The Nuasan range is designed for people with active lifestyles

“Needless to say, 2020 was a challenging time to launch a new brand,” the firm admits.

“Nonetheless, we persevered, and the brand has grown from strength to strength thanks to our hard-working team, loyal customers and fantastic retail partners.”

Nuasan’s current collection – which is plant-bsed, cruelty free, natural, eco-conscious, scientifically-proven and anti-bacterial - focuses on cleansing, protecting, soothing and hydrating skin to recharge and revive, promoting and inspiring wellness and self-care.

Suitable for both women and men, it includes Nuasan Active Body Wash, Nuasan Active Body Moisturiser, Nuasan Active Body Wipes and Nuasan Active Foot Care.
