Get To Know Wildsmith Skin: High Performance Skincare Created With Rad

Taking their name from William Walker Wildsmith - a pioneering 19th century horticulturist, Wildsmith Skin creates botanical skincare that's science-based and works to transform your skin and evoke your sense of wellbeing.

William lovingly planted and tended to the grounds of the Heckfield Estate in Hampshire, England, which is the spiritual home of Wildsmith Skin. The estate now harnesses the power of biodynamic farming principles to grow Wildsmith Skin's ingredients. The brand took inspiration from the trees that William so carefully nurtured - recognising their ability to carry nutrients, adapt, heal, and survive - and created a skincare line that would carefully nurture, protect, and restore skin to its optimal health.

Created From Radical Botany

Using science-based products and experiences, Wildsmith Skin formulas have been expertly created by many hands. From scientists, scrutinists, and skin experts, to perfumers, horticulturists, and practitioners - discover more about the multi award-winning range in today's post.

Made Responsibly And Sustainably

Wanting to be a part of the creation of a more equitable and sustainable world, Wildsmith Skin products are made with traceable ingredients that are locally grown wherever possible and are always made in small batches in England. With packaging made using less secondary packaging, the rang is presented in ceramics, aluminium, compostable mycelium, and glass.

Cruelty-Free

Wildsmith Skin recently announced that their cosmetic and personal care products are now approved under the cruelty-free international Leaping Bunny programme. The globally recognised gold standard for cruelty-free products, the Leaping Bunny Programme is the leading organisation working to put an end to animal testing and champions cruelty-free skincare.

Pregnancy Guidelines

Sometimes during pregnancy, your skin can become more sensitive to skincare ingredients and scents. Wildsmith's skincare products contain a blend of essential oils that are at a maximum concentration of 1.75% and are blended with botanical oils. Because of this, all the Wildsmith Skin facial products are classed as safe to use during pregnancy due to the low percentage of essential oils. However, the body oils contain a blend of essential oils that have a maximum dilution of 3%, which means they aren't recommended for use during pregnancy. Similarly, the body serum also isn't recommended due to the included ingredient, capsicum.

Allergen Guide

Although it's a rare occurrence, sometimes natural ingredient skincare can activate a reaction in your immune system that causes your body to see the ingredient as a foreign substance. In turn, this causes your body to begin releasing histamine. This type of reaction can be influenced by many factors, right from your immune function to your diet and lifestyle choices. With this in mind, it can make it difficult to label and pinpoint products as potential hazards. To limit these types of reactions further, Wildsmith Skin conduct extensive clinical and consumer trials, and have rigorously high safety standards.
