Our Mission
Sealore is Built on the Lores Passed From One Generation to the Next
The Lores
The founder of Sealore, Dolores’ grandmother taught her the lores (traditional knowledge) about seaweed when she was just a child. Now after almost 60 years and decades of study in aromatherapy, natural perfumery and plant medicine along Co’s Leitrim coastline she has developed an effective range of potent skincare formulations inspired by these teachings. Delores’ formulas are effective in fighting off signs of aging like wrinkles or dryness while also providing other skin-saving benefits such as reducing inflammation, boosting collagen and protecting the skin’s natural microbiome. Sealore Marine Botanicals will soothe, nourish and strengthen, even the most sensitive and delicate skin
Our Founders
Secrets from the Sea
Dolores is joined in Sealore by her daughter Nadine, who after living and working in Japan for several years, returned home with a new perspective and appreciation of seaweed, as in Japan, seaweed is revered as a precious natural resource.

Sustainability
Hand Harvested with Care to Protect our Tiny Bay and its Gifts for Future Generations
Sealore stands out for its commitment to using only certified organic ingredients sourced sustainably. We prioritize purity, quality, and ethical production to provide you with skincare that nourishes both your skin and your spirit.
Sustainability
Seaweed is the world's most renewable resource, it is the most sustainable form of agriculture on the planet.
Sealore’s precious marine botanicals grow within meters of the small on-site processing facility in Co. Leitrim. This allows for the precise hand harvesting of individual plants, ensuring that Sealore only ever collects exactly what is needed.
This practice ensures that only the most pristine specimens are selected, maximising the inherent bioactive phytonutrients available within each seaweed. These potent vitamins, minerals and trace element-rich extracts are then concentrated by Sealore’s novel extraction processes.
This harvesting technique results in zero carbon emissions and zero waste as any by-products are used to fertilize and enrich the soil at Sealore's on-site organic herb gardens, in Co. Leitrim.
Ethical, Micro-Batch Production
Sealore’s unique Marine Botanical extractions are then combined with over 120 precious, certified organic ingredients that have been sustainably grown and ethically sourced.
Sealore partners with suppliers that ensure all social, economic, and environmental audits are carried out ascertaining the quality and longevity of each ingredient and ensuring all fair trade principles are adhered to.
Sealore handcrafts a range of 13 certified organic products in micro-batches. This type of production results in near-zero emissions. Producing only what is needed when required reduces the unnecessary use of energy required to store large volumes of products.
This novel manufacturing process safeguards the integrity of each ingredient and protects its potency and freshness. Small batch formulation supports a more sustainable circular economy.
