Feel Good,
Do Good

At Celtic Silk, every bottle of lotion tells a story of love and a pursuit of a cure. Our mission is to shine a bright light on Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH), a rare genetic metabolic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down glycine. This condition affects only a small number of children worldwide, including our brave grandson, Owen. Watching him fight during his first weeks of life transformed our perspective and fueled a deep desire to help other families navigating the same uncertainties.
Every time you choose our soothing skincare, you are directly contributing to life-changing progress. All net proceeds from Celtic Silk are donated to the University of Colorado’s Department of Pediatrics, where Dr. Johan Van Hove leads the only dedicated NKH research program in the United States. These funds support the search for treatments and provide a lifeline for families facing the overwhelming daily challenges of this disorder.
Owen’s name means "Celtic Warrior," and his strength is the heart of everything we do. What started as a grandmother’s simple wish to help—first through selling garden plants and now through our natural lotions—has grown into a community of hope. We invite you to join our journey. By nourishing your skin with our handcrafted products, you are helping us fight for a brighter future for Owen and all the NKH warriors around the globe. Together, we can fund the research that will one day find a cure, providing comfort for your skin and hope for their lives.
