We began many years ago as the brain child of our Head Alchemist, Bex, when she realised just how many nasty chemicals could be found in some skincare products - snake venom to name just one. I know. Pretty freaky, right?
This realisation started the old cogs turning in her mind. This turned into creating all-natural beard oils and balms for her partner's epic facial hair and, later, into making oils for her baby daughter's eczema and baby massage (if you have a newborn baby, Google baby massage - it's a lifesaver!).
From there the idea kept on growing and evolving, and along the way candle making got thrown into the mix (I mean, who doesn't like candles?) because Bex is all about learning new crafts. What she didn't realise was that candle making is pretty hard to get right. After a lot (and I mean a LOT) of trial and error she finally nailed it.
But, it wasn't until 2019 that she decided to take the plunge and actually make her ideas into a business - eek!
So, here we are today - still fanatical about botanicals! We may still be a small company, but we have some pretty big ideas and with your help, as our customers, we hope to be able to achieve them.
So, with that in mind, we'd like to say THANK YOU.
