Handmade skincare from the herb garden

SKINCARE FROM THE
HERB GARDEN

Our soaps and skincare products have been formulated ‘from the herb garden’ and you’ll notice that most include common plants or herbs that you could be growing outside your back door! We strive to use suppliers sourcing ethically produced ingredients and check that none of our ingredients are on any endangered species list. Our essential oils are sourced as much as possible from the UK or Europe to ensure a smaller carbon footprint. This isn’t so easy with some of the base recipe ingredients, so we try to source fairtrade and/or organic as much as possible.

ABOUT US

Sun & Flower was founded by Sam & Richard McArthur in 2023. Sam’s interest in skincare began after being afflicted with problem skin in her teenage years and trying everything to alleviate it!  For a while she bought natural skincare products and spent a small fortune along the way, so decided to learn more about it. A few years ago she went on a herbal medicine course to learn about healing plants, and more recently attended a course learning how to make facial serums and creams. She's also read many books on the subject over the years.  

 

The skincare course led Sam to start making her own soaps, particularly as so many commercially available soaps contain palm oil plus all sorts of other questionable ingredients. After making lots of batches of soaps and getting positive feedback from friends and family, she decided to turn it into a business and Sun & Flower was born. Other skincare products are in the pipeline so watch this space! 

 

Sam’s husband Richard is also joining her in the business. He has led a production team while working for an artisan food company so his production knowledge is proving very beneficial to the business! A keen gardener and running his own gardening business, he is not only the perfect partner, but the perfect business partner!
