Happy International Women’s Day! My name is Laura Dowling and I’m the Founder and owner of fabü. Before setting up fabü I worked as a Pharmacist for 20 years after graduating from the School of Pharmacy in Trinity College Dublin in 2002.

This belief in women led me to set up my own business fabü in 2022 with a range of growing products to benefit women.     View this post...
