Neal’s Yard Remedies is on a mission to prove that organic skincare works. Ever since launching in 1981, this pioneering health and beauty brand has harnessed the power of nature, delivering products with proven results, while preserving the biodiversity of our planet. The tree in their logo symbolises their belief that outer beauty and inner health should be in perfect balance, and their skincare reflects this ethos by combining the ancient powers of aromatherapy and herbalism with modern skin science. Many of the brand’s certified organic ingredients are grown in the grounds of their award-winning eco-factory in Dorset, meaning the journey from seed to their iconic blue bottle is often mere metres. In between, Neal’s Yard Remedies advocate on environmental issues, including owner Anabel Kindersley’s brilliant #StandByBees campaign.
