Our Story

I have always had sensitive, problem skin. I started Naturally Balmy after a well known skincare brand designed to improve my skin, actually made it worse. I thought, there must be a better way. I wanted to strip back my skincare and only put 100% natural, pure, nourishing ingredients on my skin. 

After taking an Aromatherapy course, I was hooked. I never knew that so many wonderful essential oils, vegetable oils and botanical extracts existed, and was amazed at the multitude of skin benefits they could offer. Yet a lot of the big skincare brands use so little in their products. Despite marketing their products as 'containing plant extracts' etc, in reality they only consist of a few % of pure or active ingredients. The rest can be cheap fillers such as silicone and petrochemicals (paraffin, mineral oil etc).

So I wanted to create a skincare brand where every single ingredient was designed to nourish the skin. We don't use pore-blocking fillers such as silicone or paraffin, we use pure plant or vegetable oils such as Rosehip, Jojoba or Argan oil, even in our cheaper products such as shower oils. Even in our creams, we use organic floral waters in place of ordinary spring water, so you are getting the most nourishment and skin benefits as possible from the cream.

You'll find a lot of our products are made with 100% oils & butters, i.e. water-free, so we are able to make them without the need for preservative.

  

While researching suppliers for making my own brand of skincare, I realised there was a lack of suppliers with quality ingredients. So I set out to sell my own quality supplies which I sourced from various different suppliers to become a one-stop shop for quality skincare making supplies. My first product I tried making, with great success, was lip balm. But there was a lack of a diverse range of lip balm supplies, so I became the only supplier who specialises in lip balm making supplies.

Our Ethical Ethos

We strive to be as ethical as possible; all our cosmetic packaging is fully recyclable, and we also use recycled / biodegradable bubble wrap & bags where possible.

Kind to Animals
We have never tested and will never test on animals, and we make sure all our suppliers are cruelty-free too. Most of our products are vegetable or plant-based, so suitable for vegans. Although beeswax can be found in some of our products, making them non-vegan, it should be noted that using beeswax doesn't mean it is cruel to animals. Beeswax is simply a by-product the bees produce in the hive, and neither the bees nor the hive are harmed in any way during the process. 
Unfortunately, many products were tested on animals in the past and sometimes this historical information will appear on safety data sheets.
