Back to Nature Skincare

Handmade natural skincare from Eastwood, Nottingham

Back to Nature Skincare is a British family business dedicated to the handmade production of personal care products using natural ingredients. Its catalogue covers creams and balms for the face, hands and body, products specifically for men, bath and bedtime items, first aid, scented candles and gift hampers. The company operates from its premises in Eastwood, Nottingham, and sells through its online shop.

Beekeeping origins and history

The project began as an initiative of a married couple who started out in beekeeping. After discovering the properties of bee products, they began by collecting honey to share with family and friends and, as their knowledge grew, they made their own lip and hand balms. The company recounts that, three years ago, one of the founders became seriously ill and suffered intense itching all over his body; one of their balms helped the skin to recover quickly and they made a sleep oil that proved effective for getting to sleep. From that experience they decided to make their products available to the public and so Back to Nature Skincare was born.

Face, body and men's care catalogue

The shop organises its range into several categories. For the face it includes facial care products; for hands and body, moisturising formulas; and it has a specific line of men's skincare. Featured items include a shaving balm and a natural moisturising aftershave balm, presented as part of a duo for a smooth shave. The catalogue also includes a first aid balm called Miracle healing first aid balm and a cooling and refreshing peppermint foot balm, aimed at keeping feet cared for while wearing sandals.

Bath, bedtime and scented candles

The company sells natural bath salts and a line of aromatherapy candles. Among the shop's most popular items are the Breathe easy candle, the first aid balm, the aftershave balm and the peppermint foot balm. The candles are also offered in sets of three, presented in a gift box with foil printing and magnetic closure, in different options. The brand's blog publishes wellbeing content, such as an article on trouble sleeping and the use of an oil with a combination of essential oils with relaxing properties.
