This Mother's Day, we celebrate vitality in all its forms through the lens of three remarkable women who embody creativity, care and ritual. Gabriella Pereira of Beare Park, Paloma Rose Garcia of Paloma Salon, and Beth Scott of Bess, are not only pioneers in their respective fields but also mothers (or soon-to-be) who navigate the beautiful duality of nurturing both their families and their crafts. Their rituals, reflections, and go-to IKKARI remedies illuminate a shared philosophy: that true vitality begins within and radiates into every facet of life, from the atelier to the salon, the flower farm, and back home again.
Gabriella Pereira and her mother Raquel
A master of meticulous tailoring and feminine strength, Gabriella Pereira has redefined modern luxury through her label, Beare Park. As a designer, and soon-to-be mother, she seamlessly balances the precision of her atelier with the gentle chaos of motherhood. Her Mother's Day mantra? "Presence over perfection." For her moments of daily stillness, she reaches for The Ikarian Shower Oil: a luxurious oil-to-milk shower wash that cleanses while moisturiSing. It serves as a gentle reminder to breathe deeply amidst back-to-back fittings and baby kicks. Raquel, her mother, prefers to pamper her hands. A culinary expert, she cherishes Apothecary Hand Wash and Balm, which now sit proudly at her kitchen sink.
Paloma Rose Garcia, her mother Lucia, and sister Sally.
With a name as poetic as her creative spirit, Paloma adopts a holistic, conscious approach to hair care and beauty. Her salon is a sanctuary of warmth and intention, mirroring her parenting style. This Mother’s Day, she reflects on the duality of being both nurturer and entrepreneur. Her daily ritual? The IKKARI Deep Sleep Tonic: a dreamy nightcap that helps her unwind after a busy day of caring for clients and cuddling her boys. It embodies a quiet act of self-kindness in a world that rarely slows down. Lucia and Sally both concur on their IKKARI hero: The Ikarian Body Oil. With its perfect blend of three potent and meticulously researched oils, it provides an unparalleled dose of nutrients that enhance skin tone and texture, shared across generations with ease.
Beth Scott and her children, Augusta and Gardenia
Known for her wildly romantic arrangements and intuitive eye for colour, Beth Scott’s creations feel like living poetry. Her work as a florist is deeply rooted in emotion and storytelling, mirroring her journey as a mother. Between early morning flower market runs and crafting bouquets that feel like love letters, Beth turns to the IKKARI Illuminating Serum: a luminous elixir for skin kissed by dawnlight and touched by petals. For her, it's more than skincare; it’s a glow that reflects the joy she finds in both her blooms and her children. She shared her love for the combination of orange and geranium, a duo frequently utilised in our IKKARI products and one that Beth always keeps in stock.
