There’s no slowing Áine Kennedy down since her brand, The Smooth Company, first launched just three years ago in 2022.
The entrepreneur’s products have been used by big names such as Molly-Mae Hague and backed by well-known faces in the beauty industry like Trinny Woodall.
On Monday, Áine and her sister Emer, and their ‘secret weapon’, grandad Billy, were invited to appear on RTÉ’s The Entrepreneurs and received immense praise.
