Not On the Highstreet Open Door Event

Come and Meet the Maker at the Great Yorkshire Shop
This Saturday (27th February) I will be spending the day at the lovely Great Yorkshire Shop in Leeds.
Situated in the beautiful Corn Exchange building, this is a relatively new store that opened its doors to the public in November. Started by Aeneas Brewster, the shop only sells things that have been made in Yorkshire. When we were approached with a view to supplying them with our products, we didn’t need to think twice, as it is such a great concept.
Product Spotlight – Soothing Skin Cream
In this blog, I’m going to tell you a little bit about our Soothing Skin Cream.
It was formulated, developed and tested by our very own Managing Director, Cecily Fearnley. Having suffered from Eczema herself from late teens and into her early 20s, she had tried just about everything to try and sooth her problem skin. She noticed that there were a few products that were helping slightly, but not clearing the problem entirely. Cecily decided to cherry pick the beneficial ingredients that alleviated her dry/itchy skin and formulate a new product which contained all of those wonderfully soothing elements
