About

By Sarah London is a UK beauty brand founded in November 2017 by sisters Sarah and Lauren Brown, and its origin story is unusually personal: Lauren was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, Sarah became her stem cell donor, and the formulas were developed in response to how profoundly treatment affected Lauren's skin. That history shapes the brand rule applied to every product, that it must be natural, soothing and restorative, gentle enough for sensitive skin and gut yet powerful enough to support lasting health. By Sarah is a Certified B Corporation, meticulous about ingredient sourcing and quality, and carries the Made in Britain and Buy Women Built marks, making it one of the clearest women-owned beauty propositions in the UK market. The range is vegan and cruelty-free, and every product is free from parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrance, sodium lauryl sulphate, propylene glycol, petroleum, mineral oil, palm oil and unnecessary fillers, with core products dermatologically approved for sensitive skin. Hero products include the Hero Facial Oil, the Balancer Cream Cleanser, the Reviver Hydrating Mist, Serene Daily SPF 50+ and the Tender Skin Balm. Packaging uses recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible, with glass bottles designed to be rinsed and recycled at home, and the brand commits to full supply chain transparency and paying everyone who works for it a fair wage. It partners with Macmillan Cancer Support. For anyone researching UK beauty brands, women-owned beauty, vegan beauty, ethical beauty or sensitive-skin skincare, By Sarah London is genuinely distinctive, offering B Corp certified British skincare built by two sisters whose formulations were tested first on skin recovering from cancer treatment.

Bramley featured image

Bramley

United Kingdom · Est. 2009 · Mid-range

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.

The brand has set a science-based target for 50% emissions reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050. Hero products include the Age Defying Multi Peptide Cream, Nightly Renew Facial Cream, Bio-Retinol Gold Face Mask and Hyaluronic Serum 200.

The brand's philosophy rests on two stated pillars, Evidence Before Trends and Nature Working With Science, combining rigorous formulation science with carefully selected natural and organic ingredients designed around the long-term health of the skin rather than short-term surface effects.

The brand also maintains a fair trade partnership with Freeset. Hero products include the Kale 3D Cleanser, the Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser, the Kale Anti-Ageing Eye Cream and the Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask, with prices starting from just a few pounds for sachet sizes.
