Best British skincare brands

[fuckthemail]

Looking for your favourite British skincare brands, made in the UK and with good ethics, employing local people especially. Can anyone recommend anything? Bonus points if it's budget friendly! Thank you 😊

Just thought of another couple!! - Gruum and also UpCircle Beauty.

From what I've read Gruum products are mostly (but not all) made in the UK.

UpCircle I've not tried but it gets good reviews online.

Upcircle are good and all their products are made in the UK.

I’ve tried Upcircle eye cream, exfoliating soap and serum for the face. All very good.

Zoe bee bee products

Lush, if you'd consider them a skincare brand.

Arran Aromatics are all made in Scotland.

I’m a recent convert to Odylique. I use the spf as a daily face cream and have stopped using foundation because it’s made my skin so even, and somehow shrunk my pores. And the natural deodorant is the first I’ve had that actually works. Haven’t tried the other products yet but have high hopes.

Ten skincare and medik8 are both British brands.

ishga also good & depending on what you are after Highland soap company.

Not all of their products are made in the UK. They're also not cruelty-free as they sell in China hence they do animal testing. I don't think that fits with @fuckthemail 's "good ethics" requirement.

Yes this is definitely how I feel... Also just dubious about brands that spend millions on marketing, would rather the money is spent more on the product and the people who make it....

Lush also unsure. Heard dubious things about how employees are treated in factories and in-store too.

Smaller companies are more what I was after for all the above reasons. Will have a good look through it all

I really like Balance Me. They're made in the UK I think

Green People is a British brand and they have a really good all-round rating on Ethical Consumer.

Not much scent , but if I massage it in, I can rinse it off in the shower . I took a travel bottle on holiday to remove make-up /

Made in London
Leaping Bunny

I think facetheory are local to Sheffield. I like some of their serums. Their price point seems reasonable. I don’t know anything about their ethics

Ren clean skincare is made in the UK.
Balance me website says that their products are made in the UK.

This cleanser is made in the UK, it's extremely gentle.

Arran aromatics.

After the rain, is the most amazing scent ever!

Highland Soap Company.

I’m gutted about Elemis losing their cruelty free status, as their cleansing balm was my favourite.

Just in case you didn’t know@fuckthemail brands are often disingenuous about their testing. They will claim not to test products on animals, when in fact they either pay other people to or buy ingredients that have already been tested.

I always check on sites like ethical elephant or cruelty free kitty. Don’t rely on brands websites.

Ren is now owned by Unilever so that may not remain the case

Just thought of another one, don't think it's been mentioned so far - Lyons Leaf Skincare.
