Clean beauty ingredients inspired by nature  

Advanced botanical skincare

Wild botanicals, clinically blended

Wild and cultivated thorn-bearing bushes and plants thrive across the UK’s rolling hills, windswept moors, and ancient woodlands, with their rugged exteriors protecting potent
healing botanicals. These powerful botanicals, shaped by nature and the land itself, sit at the heart of our natural skincare products, each hand-selected due to their ability to support the skin’s natural rhythms and nurture its ability to restore, repair, and rebalance. Each of our handmade skincare products draws on the extraordinary power hidden within these plants. The result is a curated collection of made-to-order luxury skincare products of uncompromising quality.
Potent, purposeful, and rooted in the quiet strength of nature. Discover the natural skincare ingredients that sit at the heart of Thirns. 

Rose

Rose is a deeply restorative
botanical that reflects our commitment to potency and simplicity. The high-quality rose extracts in our formulations help soothe inflammation, reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, and support long-term resilience. Rich in antioxidants and natural sugars, rose works in harmony with skin-identical lipids to lock in moisture and boost elasticity, resulting in a subtle, luminous softness for the skin. Beyond its regenerative benefits, rose also carries a delicate, calming aroma that helps to nurture not just the complexion, but the emotional space you inhabit. Find this natural skincare powerhouse in our Firming Emulsion, Revitalising Mask, and Energising
Mist.

Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn is one of our signature thorns. The small orange berries from this unassuming thorny bush are an extraordinary botanical powerhouse. Carefully selected for its remarkably high levels of vitamins C (10 times higher than an orange), E, and A, plus rare omega-7 fatty acids, our sea buckthorn extract supports skin regeneration, strengthens the skin barrier, and protects against oxidative stress. Sea buckthorn’s concentrated nutrients lock in hydration, helping skin retain its natural resilience and giving it an incredible glow. You’ll find this powerhouse botanical extract in our Overnight Recovery Cream, a rich and restorative night cream that leaves skin plump and replenished by the morning.

Rosehip

Rosehip is a cornerstone clean beauty ingredient, carefully selected for its exceptional ability to regenerate and rebuild. Rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, as well as a natural retinoic acid derivative, rosehip helps support cellular renewal, smooth fine lines, and even out skin tone. It is also rich in vitamin C, providing antioxidant protection and helping to shield skin from environmental stressors. You’ll find rosehip in several of our skincare products, including our Overnight Recovery Cream, our Firming Emulsion, and our Intensive Botanical Lip Balm.

Raspberry

Raspberry seed oil is a beautifully understated yet powerful part of Thirns’ botanical palette. Brimming with vitamin E, A, and phytosterols, it offers antioxidant protection against free radical damage, while supporting the skin’s natural lipid barrier to retain hydration and resilience. It is especially well-suited for mature or sensitive skin that benefits from rich nourishment without heaviness, as it works to refine, soften, and smooth the skin’s texture, encouraging the skin to glow with health. Its subtle, gently warming scent and calming presence reflect the therapeutic experience that lies at the heart of everything we do. You can find this restorative ingredient in our Intensive Botanical Lip Balm and Eye Cream.

Juniper

Juniper is the clarifying thorn
in our botanical repertoire, a plant that brings both purification and grounding. Its natural astringency helps balance oil production and refine pores, while its antimicrobial qualities support skin clarity and calm. Juniper is rich in antioxidant phytonutrients, helping to protect against environmental stress and reinforce skin resilience. Aromatically, its fresh, woody-herbaceous character brings a moment of calm and clarity, helping you reconnect with nature and yourself. Discover this incredible, clean beauty ingredient in our Cleansing Balm, a creamy, beautifully scented balm that gently removes makeup and impurities without leaving your skin feeling dry.
