The beauty industry has been booming throughout the pandemic and nowhere more so than in the UK. A host of homegrown make-up, skincare and bath and body brands are changing the landscape with their impressive formulas and packaging.

A British botanical brand, 100 Acres is a unique little company based in the Cotswolds that are passionate about creating completely natural yet gorgeous smelling products.

Made with 100% natural ingredients and in small fresh batches, each product within the range is made in the English countryside and inspired by its natural beauty and botanical diversity.

100 Acres Hand Cream

Every individual ingredient is chosen for its healing, calming or uplifting properties. They use botanicals that are associated with inducing certain moods and feelings in order to maximise over all well-being. The products don’t contain any nasties; no parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates, artificial colourings or fragrances, and are not tested on animals, so they are suitable for vegetarians. The brand have three key principles in everything they do: 100% Natural Botanical Ingredients, made in the British Countryside and tread Lightly on the Planet. They are also incredibly proud to donate a percentage of sales to REWILDING BRITAIN.

Co-founder’s Ellea and Georgie wanted to create products they could use all day, every day. From the Hand Cream to the body wash and shampoo, the 100 Acres Signature Scent base is a complex base of their favourite countryside notes that form the base of every product, and then for each one individually they layer a few unique notes on top too.

100 Acres Shampoo

The brand is all about having a little part of that countryside escape, even when you’re having a quick shower on a Monday morning in the city. Capturing the air filled with fresh herbs, flowers and fruits, the rambling meadows and orchards.

100 Ares Oil

100 Acres products are beautifully packaged and the bath oil, in a green bottle has a timeless quality, block printed by co-founder, Georgie.
