Green & Spring Natural Skincare Products

Inspired completely by the British countryside, Green & Spring products are created using herbs and flowers native to the British Isles. The products breathe in the goodness of land and, mixed wth other ingredients to assist their efficacy and aroma, they exhale the amazing.

 Our Commitment

British Ingredients

Green & Spring products contain extracts from plants native to the UK which have been cherished for their therapeutic qualities by English apothecaries for hundreds of years. These include lavender, chamomile, reosemary, rosehip, red clover, elderflower, thyme, geranium, marshmellow, comfrey, dandelion, peppermint, fennel and rose.

Natural and Ethcial Ingredients

Green & Spring use 100% natural botanical materials. All herbal extracts are sourced from the UK and all our ingredients are sourced ethically.

Essential Oils

Green & Spring uses natural essential oils of the highest quality (never nature-identical oils). Essential oils are the concentrated, aromatic essence of the plant, extracted from all its parts (leaves, stems, roots etc) and have been used for centuries. They have been scientifically researched and are shown to contain remarkable therapeutic properties - both psychological and physical. Their credibility runs hand in hand with care and level of ratios used. Green & Spring uses high ratios of essential oils in order to maximise well-being.

An essential oil consists of chemical compounds which have hydrogen, carbon and oxygen as their building blocks - the only material used in the cosmetic industry that is truly holisitic (ie penetrating the skin and affecting the mind, body and spirit).

Hard-blended Products

All our products are made by hand in the British countryside, This ensures the freshest batch quality and allows for considerable attention to detail (for example, avoiding the overheating of key ingredients which would make them 'pasteurised' and thereby destroying any natural benefits).

Faith Products - Natural beauty products

Faith Products is a manufacturer of the award winning natural beauty product range 'Faith in Nature' and the household cleansing brand 'Clear Spring'.
The business was founded by Rivka Rose over thirty years ago, with a clear mission to produce skin and hair care products from naturally derived sources, that had no synthetic additives and which damaged neither the user nor the environment. This is as true today as it was then.
From these early pioneering days has grown a company, still headed by Rivka and her husband Aaron, which manages to combine the most up date production and manufacturing techniques with formulating skills and a knowledge of plants that are in some cases, thousands of years old. A true blend of the best of the old, with the best of the new.
In order to keep pace with the demand for Faith in Nature, the company completed its latest move into new premises in Radcliffe, Manchester in Autumn 2007.
The 18,000 sq ft (1,672 sq m) of factory and office space utilises the latest manufacturing plant and technology which has enabled us to boost production to keep up with ever increasing demand, minimise wastage, maximise energy efficiency and boost productivity. All of these factors play their part in ensuring that our products remain affordable to all.
As is to be expected with products that conform to the highest standards and are registered with the Vegan Society, quality control is of the highest order. To avoid cross contamination between products, equipment is thoroughly cleaned between each batch, and testing of all the products takes place constantly, both during and after manufacturing.

H.Bronnley & Co Ltd - leading British soap and toiletries company

H.Bronnley & Co Ltd was founded in 1884 by James Bronnley when he was just 19 years old. He had spent a year in Paris studying the art of soap making and was determined to establish himself as a maker of soaps of the highest quality.
His first soap making took place in a humble shed situated in Holborn, Central London. His insistence on producing only the finest quality soaps saw his reputation grow and eventually he relocated to larger premises in Islington, North London. With such a growing reputation came increased orders and he was compelled to move again to a much larger factory in Acton, in those days one of London's outer suburbs and within easy reach of the countryside.
The company remained there until 1949 when a disastrous fire destroyed the factory. A number of temporary premises were used until the company permanently relocated to Brackley in Northamptonshire. The first factory in Brackley was in a former Brewery and this served the company well until the present purpose built factory was built and opened in 1989.
Today, Bronnley remains a leading British soap and toiletries company famous for the abundance of natural almond oil, herb, flower and tree extracts blended into our soaps and toiletries. The magic of soap making demands skill, luxurious materials and careful attention to detail. Essential oils made from plant extracts, super fatting - the addition of avocado oil and triple milling - which assures blended consistency - must be combined to perfection to produce our soaps. Quality above everything is the cornerstone of Bronnley which is why we are "Makers of the best soaps in the world".

Molton Brown London

The year was 1973. Molton Brown opened at 58 South Molton Street in London's Mayfair as a hair salon. The salon's name paid homage to the location and the company set out to be unique from the start. This was a London very much in love with synthetics. But here came Molton Brown: soft, individual and Natural with a capital N. Out went hairdryers and tonging, in came finger drying. Identikit styles from TV or magazines were out, and Molton Brown brought in haircuts designed to flatter the client's individuality.

The salon became a hit and it didn't stop at that. The first retail products were hand-mixed upstairs from nettles and camomile; Dale Daxon Bowers joined the team in 1978 fresh from Mary Quant cosmetics, and set to work in a makeshift lab in the kitchen above Browns boutique. Dale's passion, creativity and belief that nature would be the focus for her new inventions, was the source of a whole new range. She was a perfectionist and she wanted to follow her own path.

By the 1980s the salon had evolved into the Molton Brown emporium where Dale's plant-based make-up, hair, body, skin and grooming products were sold to those in the know. This was just the beginning and from here we were approached to supply top-end stores, airlines and hotels in cities around the world.

Two decades later and our creative team have expanded out of the South Molton Street make-shift lab to a more glamorous set-up in Hertfordshire, just outside London. Today the scale is bigger, but the same passion still flows through the veins of the company and inspires everything we do. You can now experience our creations in more than 70 countries world-wide, in our own emporium, spas and online and in the world's leading luxury hotels and airlines. Welcome to today's Molton Brown.

Penhaligon's luxury fragrances, perfumes

Fragrance is liquid emotion. It unlocks memories and opens doors; it can stop us in our tracks, lost somewhere for a moment in time. Recollections triggered by a dusting or iris, a whisper of clove, a burst of juicy nectarine, a trail of smoky incense, a creamy lick of vanilla. At Penhaligon's we understand the emotive power of scent. Our luxury fragrances, perfumes and colognes are still made in England using the finest rare ingredients - from hand squeezed bergamot, to jasmine at twice the price of gold.

Over 135 years since the doors of the Penhaligon's barber shop first opened on Jermyn Street, William's hugely precious archives continue to inspire and inform everything we do. Our passion is to carry on his incredible legacy of creative and innovative perfumery, challenging the traditions of the art and seeking new ways to interpret elegance.

MASON PEARSON

MASON PEARSON , founder-engineer-inventor, went from Yorkshire, Northern England to London in the mid 1860's to work at the British Steam Brush Works, in London’s East End, in a partnership later known as Raper Pearson and Gill. The business was in general small-brushmaking. The brushes were made by hand. Mason Pearson invented an automatic brush-boring machine to speed up the whole process of brushmaking in 1885, for which he won a Silver Medal at the International Inventions Exhibition in London in that year. In the same year he invented the "pneumatic" rubber-cushion hairbrush. It took until 1905 to improve his technique, much of which was still required to be done by hand. His widow continued the business on her own for a further 20 years, when the next generation was ready to take its part.

During this period, the decision was made to concentrate on Mason Pearson's rubber-cushion hairbrush. The product design used nowadays is similar to the original 1885 model with the improvements of the fully developed models of the early 1920s. The basic product has not changed since then and some of the model names are still with us : Large Extra, Small Extra, Popular and Junior.
