Tried, Trusted & Timeless: Legacy Natural Beauty Brands

A pioneer of 100% organic skincare, Dr. Mariano Spiezia - medical doctor, homeopath and herbalist - formulated the first UK skincare range to be certified organic by the Soil Association in 1999. Continuing his legacy of truly organic formulation, he founded Inlight Beauty. Each product is crafted in Cornwall using time-honoured methods that preserve the vitality of botanicals, embodying his commitment to purity, sustainability, and holistic skin health.

Drawing on decades of clinical and botanical expertise, Inlight products are made by hand in Cornwall using slow-extraction methods to preserve plant vitality. Creating a legacy that is deeply rooted in alchemy, homeopathy, and sustainability. The Inlight range is 100% COSMOS Organic certified and champions minimal waste, eco-conscious packaging, and ingredient transparency.

​Founded in 2002 by pharmacist and homeopath Margo Marrone, The Organic Pharmacy was born from a desire to merge cutting-edge science with natural medicine. Marrone, disillusioned by the standard ingredients in conventional skincare, envisioned a holistic alternative rooted in herbalism, homeopathy, and natural formulation.

The brand’s legacy, as one of the first UK brands to embrace organic botanical ingredients, centres on combining clinically proven efficacy while offering products that are up to 99.8% organic.

The Organic Pharmacy continues to innovate, providing high-performance, skincare that nurtures both skin health and overall well-being.

Founded in 1931 by pharmacologist Edith Klein and her winemaker husband Franz, Olverum - meaning “true oil” in Latin – was born from a desire to recreate the curative powers of the thermal spa blends they encountered in Baden-Baden. Their carefully composed bath oil gained a loyal following for its unique aromatic profile and deeply restorative benefits.

After decades as a cult favourite, Olverum was revitalised in 2014 by the Hawksley family, with Dominic Hawksley leading its modern evolution. Staying true to its origins, Olverum has since evolved into a complete wellbeing brand grounded in craftsmanship and efficacy. In 2025, Olverum Bath Oil was honoured with a Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty King Charles III, recognising the brand’s enduring commitment to excellence and sustainability.

​Founded in 1921 by philosopher Rudolf Steiner, physician Ita Wegman, and chemist Oskar Schmiedel, Weleda emerged from the principles of anthroposophy - a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Today, Weleda remains committed to sustainability, utilising biodynamic farming practices and sourcing 81% of its plant-based raw materials organically. As a certified B Corporation, Weleda upholds rigorous social and environmental standards, ensuring ethical sourcing and minimal environmental impact. With a presence in over 50 countries, Weleda continues to honor its legacy of creating natural, effective products that connect people to nature.

​Founded in 1994 by New York City hairstylist John Masters, John Masters Organics emerged from a vision to merge professional salon-quality performance with clean, natural ingredients. Dissatisfied with the industry, Masters began crafting his own formulations in his SoHo apartment, leading to the opening of the world's first "clean air" salon in 1995.

The brand quickly gained recognition for its commitment to organic, cruelty-free, and environmentally responsible products. John Masters Organics continues to maintain its legacy as a pioneer in the natural haircare movement.
