Short Ingredient Lists, Written By Somebody Called Lisa.
There is a great deal of skincare in the world and a conspicuous shortage of people willing to tell you plainly what is in it. Lisa makes hers in Bristol, in small batches, from plants, and the whole operation has the unmistakable quality of being run by one person who answers her own emails. The FAQ is written in the first person. So is the blog. That sounds like a small thing and is in fact most of the difference.
Rose geranium runs through the range like a thread, which is a good deal more pleasant than it sounds: the hydration cream, and a micellar water that takes the day off your face without also removing your will to live. Red mandarin turns up in the lip treatment. There are bath salts for the end of a week that has thoroughly earned them. Everything comes in glass rather than the usual plastic apology, and there is a range made for skin during menopause, which is a stage of life the beauty industry spent four decades pretending did not occur and has only lately remembered.
For more for the bathroom shelf, have a browse of our beauty and body care and bathroom collections, or carry on to gift sets and hampers, gifts for her and bedroom. There are more businesses like this one in women-led brands and small batch artisans, and more close to home in British makers.
