ishga, it’s our little secret.

On a faraway isle, near the north west coast of Scotland, we’re using an ancient secret to create award-winning natural skincare, using the life-giving power of the sea to restore the skin and the soul.

This paradise is a world of myth and legend, and an age from stress and strain, where clear Hebridean waters cleanse golden sands to wash problems away.

ishga is derived from the Gaelic for water. The Hebridean islands speak an ancient language too. The ocean is their heartbeat, a source of infinite abundance with the ability to heal and rejuvenate.

Hand-harvested seaweed yields vitamins; minerals; amino acids; anti-oxidants and essential fatty acids, and we combine them with local spring water to harness over 86 vitamins and minerals.

Our scientists use a bespoke, natural process to create a truly unique range of organic skincare with the most remarkable anti-aging, hydrating and skin-renewing properties.

Light base oils such as sweet almond or jojoba, essential oils like rose geranium or lemongrass, and nourishing moisturisers including cocoa and shea butters, glide blissfully on and balance, nourish, smooth and repair.

Across the world, ishga’s luxurious, regenerative, vegan skincare products are transforming more and more people’s skin, to make them look healthier, younger and more radiant.

Everyone will notice the change in yours - trust ishga, it’s our little secret.

Menopause occurs when a woman’s periods stop, this can occur naturally or because of surgery, genetics or cancer treatments. The age this happens can vary from woman to woman but typically it occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, and the periods stop due to lower levels of estrogen and progesterone being produced. The major hormonal shift brings can bring challenges physically, mentally and emotionally, with some women experiencing anxiety, brain fog, hot flushes, disrupted sleep and mood swings. Some women can experience multiple symptoms, or very few as they go through this significant change in life.

These hormonal changes can also affect your skin and how you look after it.
