Summary

We believe beauty should never come at the expense of the planet.


From ingredient sourcing to packaging design, every decision we make is rooted in a commitment to purity, responsibility, and longevity. Our goal is simple: create skincare that’s as kind to the earth as it is to your skin.

Pure Ingredients, Responsible Sourcing

Our products begin with nature’s finest raw materials — organic, unrefined, and cold-pressed botanicals chosen for their purity and potency. We work closely with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, ensuring that every ingredient is sourced with respect for both people and the environment.

We never use bleached, deodorised, or chemically refined oils, and we reject fillers, microplastics, and synthetic preservatives.


Our commitment to clean ingredients extends beyond the skin. Many conventional skincare products contain microplastics, silicones, and non-biodegradable compounds that can accumulate in waterways and harm marine ecosystems. By using only natural, biodegradable ingredients, our formulations are as gentle on the planet as they are on your skin.


Purity to us means transparency — knowing exactly where our ingredients come from, how they’re processed, and what they contribute to the skin.

Packaging with Purpose

Our packaging is designed to protect what’s inside — and the world outside. We use amber glass to shield our delicate botanical oils from UV light and oxidation, helping them stay fresher and more effective for longer.

We avoid unnecessary plastics wherever possible, opting instead for recyclable glass, biodegradable materials, and minimal packaging waste. We use glass bottles, jars, and aluminium caps — the most widely recycled materials in the UK — to ensure our packaging can re-enter the cycle again and again.

Our ingredients are equally clean and environmentally conscious. We never use microplastics, silicones, or non-biodegradable fillers, which can accumulate in waterways and harm marine life. Every formula is designed to be gentle on your skin — and safe for the environment once it leaves your hands.


Even our droppers and pump tops are selected for precision and durability, reducing product waste over time. By partnering with UK-based suppliers, we also reduce transportation emissions and maintain strict oversight of our supply chain. This local-first approach ensures quality, consistency, and a lower environmental footprint.

Cruelty-Free, Always

Herbal Gardens is proudly cruelty-free. None of our products or ingredients are tested on animals — and we only work with suppliers who uphold the same standard. Our belief is simple: the wellbeing of animals, people, and the planet should never be separated from the pursuit of beauty.

Beauty with Integrity

Every Herbal Gardens bottle represents a promise — that luxury skincare can be natural, ethical, and sustainable all at once.

Our approach is guided by three principles: purity in formulation, responsibility in sourcing, and purpose in design. By protecting our products thoughtfully, we protect what truly matters — the planet that provides them.
