Northside company rebrands as Lynoslife

A company which took over the former Yves Rocher site on the northside of the city a year ago has thrived since then.

Following an investment of €7.5 million, Cosmetic Creations opened up on the northside and began supplying hand sanitiser after the pandemic began here in March.

This week the Irish life sciences company rebranded as Lynoslife.

The announcement comes after three years of sustained growth for the company, focusing on its service offering of developing and delivering products in the health, wellbeing and cosmetics sectors.

CEO Aiden Corcoran said: “We are so excited to finally be announcing our new name and brand identity, Lynoslife. The name Cosmetic Creations has served us well but we are continuing to expand our health, wellbeing and pharmaceutical products and services, adding value to how people feel, look and live.

“As an Irish life sciences company with world-class capacity, technology and expertise, we needed an updated brand that truly reflects who we are.

“We expanded our workforce from 30 to 120 in the last three years alone, increased our product and service offerings, opened a second facility in Cork and launched our own brand, Airmedica.”

He added that by mid-2021, the company will also have invested a total of €1.5 million over 18 months into their Mayo and Cork sites.

“The next year will see us continue to scale, as we expand through strategic acquisitions in the health, pharma and cosmetic sectors as well as launching another owned product.”

In March 2020, the company launched Airmedica hand sanitiser in response to increased demand due to the pandemic. Made in Cork and Mayo, used by the HSE and available in most national retail outlets, Lynoslife increased production of the hand sanitiser to at a maximum 350,000 units a week.

Mr Corcoran added: “It has never been more important for the Irish market to have access to home-grown products they can trust, whether that is hand sanitiser, skincare or food supplements. We are committed to using Irish suppliers where possible.

“Our Airmedica range, for example, uses over 90 per cent Irish ingredients and packaging.”
