Since 1934, when Joseph Gardiner founded the first family apothecary in Ireland, the Gardiner family have been creating sensitive skincare solutions which combine our expertise in traditional formulations with the latest dermatological advances to provide expert, cruelty-free, sustainable, safe sensitive skincare
Ovelle's experience in producing traditional apothecary products like our Silcock’s Base, Aqueous Cream and Emulsifying Ointment enabled us to leverage dermatological advances to create Elave Sensitive, which helps prevent flare-ups in sensitive and dry skin conditions
For You, For Your Family, For Your Sensitive Skin
Elave Sensitive is about daily protection of the skin barrier in a world where 1 in 4 babies and 1 in 8 adults develop sensitive eczema. In addition to psoriasis, dermatitis and rosacea-prone skin, many of us are living with uncomfortable skin sensitivity and searching for a solution.
For three generations we have drawn upon our dermatological skills to create and manufacture products at our GMP facility which combine traditional formulations with licensed medicines, medical devices and biocide specialist skincare.
All our formulations are safety-tested to the highest international Pharma and ethical standards, and are independently certified. This is why they are trusted and recommended by pharmacists, as well as medical and healthcare professionals, for the treatment and management of chronic skin conditions and skin barrier protection.
Ovelle skincare is proud of our strong links with healthcare and our record as a longstanding supplier to hospitals and aid agencies worldwide, including UNICEF, UNWRA and Medicines Sans Frontieres (MSF), of skin barrier protectants and disinfectants for displaced people and, especially, children.
