An Enniscorthy-based business is making waves in the beauty sector after shunning what they perceive to be a ‘fake’ cosmetic industry by producing their own line with unique ingredients.

Ancestral Cosmetics was founded in early 2023 by husband and wife team Mihael and Renata Sanko in Wexford. What began as small-batch tallow balms made in their own kitchen has grown into one of Ireland’s fastest-growing skincare companies, with products now shipping daily to customers across Ireland, the UK, and the United States.
