We are a small batch distillery. We make completely natural scents, creams and balms from flowers, bark, leaves, roots, blossom and moss that we pick in the fields, mountains and gardens that we love. Our work is a conversation with the plants. We grow, harvest and forage for our own and then distil, refine and transform their essence into singularly lovely natural scent and nourishing skincare.

How to Make the Most of the September Isle Mist Offer on the blog this week. For a simple 3 step ritual for self care with the Isle Mist as step 2.

This month, for the whole of September we're offering a mini Isle Mist with every order over £60. There's no need for a code, we'll spot your orders and pop one in. It dawned on me that it might be useful to talk a little about how it's best used and why rituals in skincare are so useful. We live b...

An afternoon of snipping the pollen laden cones off the Hops today - it’s pivotal to our Sleep Cream and to have such a beautiful Hop bine to work with is such a treat. The snipped Hops are now snuggly in the dehydrator. On Monday they’ll be in a fresh batch of Sleep Cream. 💤

Wildeve flowering magnificently this morning. Roses flow through all of my work, from the original Face Cream #3 to the Wild Beauty Balm and Isle Mist, the Heartease Tincture to the Wildflower Tea. They have filled my various gardens for decades and every day I’m grateful for their constant uplifting presence and the sheer delight of working with them.

Our Story

We are unique in the world of skincare. We are a small batch distillery making natural scents, creams, aromatic waters and balms from flowers, bark, leaves, roots, blossom and moss that we grow or pick wild in the fields, mountains and gardens that we love in Sussex, Cyprus and Scotland. Our business has grown from a particular way of being, of gathering and noticing. It’s a slow, meditative process, a precise art that has been passed from hand-to-hand drawing on the alchemy of intuition and the wisdom of generations of healers, travellers and makers. We like to think that each small pot carries something subtly transformative - a vitality that comes from working with the seasons and harvesting by hand at just the right time; each one has the defining characteristics of a particular harvest, a singular moment. It’s important to us to really understand the language of smell and sensation. Scent is immediate, arresting, elusive and comforting. Like music, the notes of a scent, evoke memory, pull us back to particular places and speak to our emotions. We think that the best products capture the vitality and spirit of place within them. So many of us are separated from nature - our own nature and the rhythms of the natural world. For us, it’s all about the plants, community, environment and an appreciation of the inter-connectedness of us all. We hope that our products have a subtle, nurturing influence on body, mind and spirit and that everything that we make is a gentle catalyst for reconnection.
