We've got news to share. IPERA has been named a finalist in the Wellness category, sponsored by Revive Active, of the Irish Made Awards 2026, run by Irish Country Magazine.
It's a recognition we're genuinely proud of, and one that says as much about the growing appetite for natural, Irish-made skincare as it does about this brand specifically.
A small kitchen in County Clare
IPERA started in a home kitchen in Ardnacrusha, County Clare. No investors, no big marketing budget. Just founder Danilly hand-mixing formulas from wild yam, comfrey and castor oil, built for the life stages and everyday moments that don't always get talked about openly.
The name itself carries that story. IPERA is inspired by the Ipê tree, one of Brazil's most resilient and beloved symbols. Every year it blooms bright yellow, regardless of the conditions around it. It felt like the right name for a brand built the same way: steadily, and against the odds.
From that first batch to a national stage
That first small batch has grown into a range now sold in over 100 Irish stores, spanning the Wild Yam Cream collection, HydraV Intimate Oil, Comfort Cream, the Fulvic Acid range and Hemp Skincare. HydraV Intimate Oil sold out within two hours of its first launch, and the brand was previously recognised as Best Natural Beauty Product at the Evoke Wellness Awards 2026.
IPERA is also set to exhibit at the Irish Open, running 9th to 13th September, a further step onto a bigger stage for a brand that began at a kitchen table.
Being named a finalist in the Wellness category of the Irish Made Awards, alongside some of Ireland's most established names, is a milestone in that same journey: proof that natural, honestly made products can hold their own on a national platform.
Thank you
None of this happens without the people who have supported IPERA from the start, so thank you. We'll keep sharing updates as the Irish Made Awards progress.
