Our organic seaweed extract comes from serrated wrack, or fucus serratus, which is foraged locally on the Wild Atlantic Way. It contains a high level of vitamins and amino acids, which are known to improve skin elasticity and reduce inflammation.
Marshmallow Root
The root of the marshmallow plant contains mucilage, an anti-inflammatory which soothes and softens even the most dry and damaged skin.
Horsetail Extract
With its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, horsetail extract helps skin to heal while tightening pores and soothing irritation.
Flax
An historic Irish plant rich in oleic and linoleic acid, which are essential for healthy skin and hair. Flaxseed oil is excellent for treating blemished and scarred skin.
Calendula
The petals of the calendula plant have been used for centuries for their anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties. A natural antioxidant, it soothes and heals irritated skin.
Chamomile
A traditional medicinal plant, chamomile has long been used to aid sleep and ease anxiety. A powerful antioxidant, we use it to help regenerate the skin.

A tip from Dr. Simon Jackson
“I’m very proud of this formula and its innovative ingredients. I use it to cleanse my face every day – and once a week, usually during a long Sunday morning bath, I’ll apply it as a mask, let it melt in and then remove it with a hot damp cloth.”
DR. SIMON SAYS
“It took me a long time to develop the consistency and the luxuriousness of this balm. I also wanted to add some powerful botanical extracts, so this is the first of our products to contain the root of the marshmallow plant, a fantastic ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It also has horsetail extract, which naturally exfoliates as it cleans, and it is one of the first products to use our organic foraged seaweed extract, locally sourced in West Cork.”
DR. SIMON JACKSON
“I have more than 30 years experience in the natural products industry. For me, the most important thing is for every product I formulate to be truly natural. It is critical that every one of our formulations contains active ingredients which are truly efficacious, and replicable in every bottle."
At Modern Botany, we work with the belief that you should never need to use more than five or six key ingredients in one formulation. Less is more, and this is a key principle in the way we formulate.
Our focus has always been on skin health. I wanted to make toxic-free products which could be used by people with all skin types, including sensitive skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis – not to mention pregnant mums or customers with a lower immune system. It’s especially rewarding to hear from patients undergoing chemotherapy who say that our Oil is the only thing that they can use on their dry skin.
We try to make all of our products 'Cosmos Natural’, as a minimum benchmark; our products are always made in GMP or Good Manufacturing Practice facilities; and all our outsourced companies are ISO quality certified as standard. All our products are cruelty-free, with absolutely no animal testing, and are vegan-certified. We only use botanical and mineral extracts in our products. All Modern Botany products are 100% natural, safe to use and non-toxic and made of high quality and potent botanical ingredients.
In order to guarantee the highest quality and deliver innovative solutions, I run all the research and development processes in-house. Every time we develop a product, I thoroughly research any proposed ingredients. If it is on the CITES list of endangered species, we will not take it to market. For every ingredient we use, we have a process to check the marketability of that species: whether it is a commonly known ingredient; whether it needs more research before we can use it; the socio-economic impacts that particular species will have on its local environment. Our customer may not see it, but there’s a huge amount of work that’s done before we even set foot in the laboratory.
