Our ethos

Effective and ethically crafted clean beauty 

Our ethos is simple: to create clean, effective, and ethically crafted skincare that regenerates, protects, and enhances skin’s natural resilience. We believe that beauty should never come at the expense of the planet, which is why our approach is rooted in transparency, integrity, and a deep respect for both people and the environment, ensuring every product delivers visible, long-lasting results while reflecting our commitment to clean beauty.

Ingredients

Certified organic ingredients 

Our name - an Old English word for ‘thorns’ - reflects the very foundation of our skincare; thorn-bearing plants, flowers, and bushes that grow across the UK. Each of our natural cosmetics is enriched with high-quality essential oils and hydrolats, and, where possible, we use Ecocert or COSMOS certified organic ingredients to ensure purity and traceability. Our products are plant-based, palm oil–free, and cruelty-free.

Sustainability

Handcrafted skincare that respects the planet 

We strive to reduce our environmental impact at every stage. Our natural cosmetics are crafted in small batches in the UK to minimise waste, with recyclable or reusable packaging wherever possible. By avoiding palm oil and its derivatives and sourcing ingredients ethically, we help protect vulnerable ecosystems and support fair practices. As a natural cosmetics brand, we aim to nurture your skin while respecting the environment.
