This is our first co-branded collection created in partnership with Morris & Co., curators of fine fabrics and wallpapers inspired by the artistic vision of designer and environmentalist William Morris. Morris’ love of nature gave him an unrivalled ability to distil Britain’s natural beauty into patterns for the home. This collection draws inspiration from his ‘Blackthorn’ print and features organic home-grown lavender, calendula and other nurturing herbs and wildflowers found in the meadows of England.

This is also our first fully vegan hand care collection. Where our other hand creams contain beeswax, English Lavender & Calendula Hand Cream is made with carnauba wax: a vegan-friendly alternative to beeswax that creates deep and longer-lasting moisture.

There is no difference between our vegetarian and vegan formulations in terms of efficacy. We use responsible, sustainable, vegan-friendly ingredients wherever possible.

English Lavender Oil
Our organic lavender essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowers and leaves of English lavender, which is planted, grown and tended by hand on a family-run farm in the Hampshire countryside. English lavender has a fresh, floral, naturally soothing scent which is notably softer than its French cousin.

Calendula Tincture
Tinctures are a traditional and convenient way to harness unique plant properties. Just a few steps away from our organic gardens, our home-grown calendula is steeped in a mixture of alcohol and water before being pressed. This preserves calendula’s active constituents and skin-soothing benefits.

Hand Cream

Carnauba Wax – A common thickening ingredient in cosmetics, often used as a vegan alternative to beeswax. The addition of carnauba wax to our English Lavender & Calendula Hand Cream creates a rich and luxurious texture which offers deeper and longer-lasting moisture.
Brazil Nut Oil – A fast-absorbing oil which nourishes the skin without leaving behind a heavy or greasy residue after application.

Hand Lotion

Glycerine – A well-known humectant which holds onto moisture, keeping skin healthy and hydrated for longer.

Sunflower Oil – Rich in vitamin E, omega-6, linoleic acid and carotenoids which can help protect and repair the skin by soothing and nourishing dryness.

Hand Wash

Aloe Vera – A humectant which attracts moisture to help soothe, condition and hydrate the skin.

Rose Tincture – Tinctures are a traditional way to harness unique plant properties. Just a few steps away from our organic gardens, our roses are steeped in a mixture of alcohol and water before being pressed. This preserves the roses’ active constituents and skin-soothing benefits.

A patch test has shown that these products are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, due to the inclusion of essential oils we would not recommend using these products on eczema-prone skin.

The alcohol content comes from the calendula flower extract which is a tincture. A tincture is an alcohol and water-based preparation where a flower or herb is harvested and steeped in a mixture of alcohol and water before being pressed. The alcohol is used to extract the active constituents of the herb or flower to create a potent botanical blend.

Avoid in case of use of known allergy to any of
the listed ingredients: Brazil
nut oil, geraniol, linalool, limonene, citronellol,
citral. For sensitive skin users, we always recommend doing a patch test before
use.

All three products in this collection have been tested to ensure they are safe for use by all, including pregnant and nursing women.

Yes, all products are suitable for
the whole family including children aged 3+.

As two companies steeped in British heritage and untied by a love of the British countryside, this partnership is an expression of shared values between brands. The collection encapsulates a long-term commitment to preserving and protecting biodiversity, and an ongoing celebration of the perennial beauty and the nurturing properties of herbs and wildflowers found in the meadows of England.

No, this is the first co-branded collection, but further beauty and wellbeing collections will launch over the course of this long-term partnership. The English Lavender & Calendula collection is available to purchase in-store and online.

William Morris was a British textile designer, poet, artist, writer and activist associated with the British Arts and Crafts movement. He was a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and their methods of production. He headed up a collective of artists, known as Morris & Co., to develop designs that would influence ways of viewing design and styles of living. Today, Morris & Co., continue his legacy through curating fine fabrics and wallpapers inspired by his works.

Morris & Co. is part of the Sanderson Design Group. They have a variety of products which can be found here: morrisandco.sandersondesigngroup.com
