The Secrets of Caledonia

We manufacture high quality botanical extracts specifically developed for cosmetic applications sourcing nature’s most effective raw materials and transforming them into potent, pure, and functional ingredients.

Inspiration

Our Products are inspired by the long history and know-how of traditional herbal medicine in Scotland, and we work in collaboration with established herbalists.

Efficacy

We weigh the knowledge of traditional remedies against published scientific data. Our products undergo extensive in-house laboratory efficacy testing.

Scotland

Scotland is filled with pristine nature and unique biodiversity, which is why many of our raw materials are sustainably foraged from the wild or grown on our own organic farm.
