It began around a kitchen table, where a family of artists, plant lovers and a medical herbalist shared a cuppa tea and a simple question: could skincare return to nature?

When our teen daughters first wandered into the world of expensive skincare bottles and glossy promises, we looked closer at the ingredients and felt a quiet shock. So much of it felt distant from the earth. With the wisdom of Nana Kat, our herbalist grandmother, and the memory of growing up close to the land, we chose a different path — one rooted in folk herbalism, love of the land and old knowledge.

Today, we craft natural, ethical and mindful skincare by hand in small batches, inspired by folklore and the healing language of plants.

Each bottle is made with gratitude, as we channel the plant lovers who came before us, the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, the Celtic mythological healer, Airmid, and yes, perhaps a hint of Luna Lovegood.

NO 'NASTIES' - We keep our formulas clean and simple. You will never find parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, petrochemicals or synthetic fragrances in our skincare. We let Mother Nature do the talking, using only naturally derived or nature-identical preservatives that are approved by trusted bodies such as Soil Association and ECOCERT.

There are fairies… and then there are the fairies of Scottish folklore 🌙

The Baobhan Sìth /Bavanshee (pronounced baa-van shee) was no dainty creature with gauzy wings. The old Highland tales tell of a woman of extraordinary beauty, appearing among the forests and lonely hills to those seeking female company — particularly to those whose hearts and intentions had wandered from home.

Enchanting and elegant, she appears beneath the moonlight and lures unsuspecting men closer. But the old stories always come with a warning or a lesson. For the Bavanshee was a vampiric fairy without fangs, and hidden beneath her graceful appearance were long, sharp nails with which she took what she desired.

The fairies of old Scotland were never simply good or evil. They were wild things — beautiful, dangerous, mysterious, and always deserving of respect.
