 We have our new lab, (hurrah!) which will be devoted to formulating, research and development.

We extract chemicals from our sustainably grown plants and use these in our perfumes, skin and hair care lines. Other carefully sourced oils and phytonutrients are added to make small batches of high quality products. Most  are made in a concentrated form, cutting down packaging and better suited to modern life.

 Our perfumes are complex and structured to give the scents depth and longevity. They suit individuals who prefer old-school scents, made with a contemporary philosophy. 

We offer most skincare and all perfumes in small sizes, so you can try before committing to a large bottle.  

Perfume organ
 

Our best-selling Rose Absolute Cream with rose, algae and green tea extract. Now in it’s fourth revamp, with enhanced antioxidant protection. This is typical of our formulating style: packed with nutrients for both immediate hydration and long term restoration. As new skin research is published, we re-evaluate our formulations. 
Our formulating philosophy is the same throughout, whether it’s a simple hydrosol cleanser or a serum with peptides more precious than gold…
We make it as effective as it can be, using the  best we can find.

We have two shampoos and two conditioners. One for dry, ‘difficult’ hair and one for fine hair and sensitive skin. The concentrated recipes mean that a small one cap full will clean a head of medium length hair. The important bit is to leave it on long enough for it to work - one minute for shampoo two for conditioner.

 If you really like big, foamy bubbles, then these may disappoint. Bubbles are not what cleans hair, although its an old association we all have. Our shampoos have quite unimpressive foam, as we use gentle surfactants, derived from plant extracts. Our conditioners contain the sort of proteins and vitamins that are more commonly found in skincare. These work best on ‘problem’ hair and on scalps that feel uncomfortable after washing with harsh chemicals (I’m afraid its those bubbles…). So if your hair needs some TLC and you can live with small bubbles, we may have what you are looking for.

Packaging
We have adopted a novel approach. We use our indigenous, pesticide-free, sustainable crops in our packaging too. Instead of using bubble wrap and plastics, we pad boxes with bags of our own, home-grown lavender and rose petals. These cushion the contents and ensure they arrive smelling lovely too.
Lavender bags
When we need to use ready-made packaging, we continue our commitment by sourcing sustainable materials: recyclable glass bottles, Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic material, (including rPET and rHDPE). Please re-use the bottles and jars where you can.
Our tissue papers and card is recycled.

Our plants provide us with their very clever photochemicals and benefit the local environment too- so everyone gains from botanical beauty!
