Hello

…and welcome! As part of the Kindersley family, we feel incredibly lucky to call ourselves the owners of Neal’s Yard Remedies. This iconic company is very special to us and we’re proud to create effective, award winning health and beauty products that are natural, organic and ethical.

As passionate advocates of organic living we want to help people to live happier, healthier lives and protect our beautiful planet.

Blue bottles for a green future

We’re fond of our iconic blue bottles and jars. The blue pigment reduces the light reaching the product, helping to protect the delicate aromas and herbal properties, allowing us to make skincare with few, if any, preservatives. We regularly upcycle these Yorkshire-made glass bottles for store displays – pop in-store to have a look! One stunning example is a blue bottle chandelier in our store in Westfield, London. We hope this inspires you to get creative and reuse your bottles in your own way! Otherwise, please do recycle them.
