Bramley

Bramley is a British natural bath, body, home and skincare brand founded by Chloë Luxton. It started at The Beckford Arms, the family's countryside inn. She wanted guest products made without synthetic ingredients or single-use plastic, could not find them, and made her own instead. Fifteen years later the range has grown a long way, and she is still at the helm. The brand line sums it up. Made by nature, crafted by Bramley. Products are made in the British countryside using pure essential oils, the brand's own apple ingredient and natural botanicals. Bramley is a Certified B Corporation with a strong impact score, and it carries the Buy Women Built mark, so this is a clearly women-led business. All products are suitable for vegans, and none are tested on animals. Formulas contain no synthetic colours, no synthetic fragrances, no parabens, no petrochemicals, no silicones and no sulphates. Everything is biodegradable and marine-life friendly, and no plastic microbeads are used. Refills are available across nearly all home, skin and body products, in biodegradable and compostable pouches, and those have saved 28 tonnes of plastic to date. Bottles, lids, pumps and boxes are all recyclable. Local sourcing is taken seriously, with 55% of purchases from suppliers within fifty miles of head office. The brand donates 1% of every full-size bath, body and home product to the wild plant charity Plantlife, over £15,000 so far. Sub-lines cover children and even dogs. For UK beauty, sustainable beauty or women-owned brands, Bramley shines. The scents are pure essential oil. The refills work properly.
