Neal's Yard Remedies

In a quiet and colourful corner of Covent Garden, London, the Neal's Yard Remedies flagship retailer stands as it has done since 1981.

Combining apothecary expertise with a holistic approach, Neal's Yard ditched synthetic chemicals and became one of the first brands in the industry to adopt a natural and healthy approach. In 1983, just two years after their launch, the iconic Frankincense & Myrrh Skin Cream was born and became a huge hit. And it's still a favourite today, now sold as Frankincense Nourishing Cream.

When Neal's Yard turned 21, they launched their first organic skin care range accredited by the Soil Association and by 2003 they were approved under BUAV's Human Cosmetic Standards.

Today, Neal's Yard continues to break through boundaries to be the most eco-conscious and ethical brand out there. They're committed to the environment, boast two eco-factories and are members of several societies, including Cruelty-Free International, Fair For Life, Fairtrade, PETA and UN Global Compact.
