MEET HELEN
COTSWOLD REMEDIES FOUNDER
Cotswold Remedies started life as a passionate hobby in my kitchen in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. It bloomed into the business it is today after I was made redundant during the first lockdown and found myself in a position where I was time rich and could follow my dream and retrain in organic skincare formulation.
As a busy mum of two girls, juggling work and family life, I was always looking for the best products on the market to keep my skin looking great as I grew older. I wanted products that would keep my skin strong and supple as I entered my 40s but not blow my budget or require a complicated 10-step routine.
So I carried on making my own and was amazed at how I could create products that delivered real results at a fraction of the price tag of my favourite high-end products, without compromising any quality or result in the process. In fact, I ended up improving them by stripping out any synthetic ingredients and adding more active ones.
I have spent several years developing the unique Cotswold Remedies formulas. Friends tell me I am a bit of a perfectionist and maybe that’s true as I will not stop until the formulation is absolutely perfect. It took me 18 months and many long soaks in the tub (tough job!) to create the bath oils range and fine tune the balance of the essential oils.
Having completed my training in Aromatherapy and Organic Skincare Formulation I am so happy to bring these products to the market and show other people that you can have high quality, natural and organic products that deliver real results but don’t cost the earth.
I am confident that you will love using the Cotswold Remedies range, and I genuinely hope they bring you as much joy as making them has brought me.
