A little bit of background.

During the pandemic in 2021 I was able to commission my good friend Liz Cooke to illustrate 18 pieces of original art work based on the ingredients I use in the manufacture of 18 products.

Liz hand drew each piece on large A3 pieces of card, when the entire set had been completed & after quite a lot of trial & error we eventually managed to scan the pieces of art into the computer & using photoshop, I was then able to design all of our product labels & matching wraps which we print, cut & apply by hand to all our products.

The entire design process took nearly a full year but it was worth the wait & the learning curves.

My dream had always been to package the skincare products I make in pieces of art.

I had always felt that what I do, formulating skincare, haircare & solid perfumes is a very precious creative process, while it does have a necessary basis in bio chemistry there is a beating heart of creativity in creating the recipe, choosing & blending the botanicals, the entire formulation process feels like art to me.

I had longed for Liz to create artwork for Natural Wisdom for more than 10 years so it was an incredible joy for my wish to be realised.

I knew the moment I saw the original pieces of art that I wanted to create a collection of greeting cards, I am so happy to have been able to complete the circle.
