Herb And Hive began in a converted stable in 2018 with a single cold-pressed facial oil. Six years on the range has grown — a little — but the philosophy hasn't. Everything is made in-house, in small batches, and nothing ships until it's been used every day for a season.
We're not trying to be the biggest brand on your shelf. We're trying to be the one you actually finish.
How it started
A kitchen table, a second-hand cold-press and a stubborn belief that skincare could feel like food — seasonal, honest, made by someone whose name you know. The first batch of oil sold out in a weekend at a local farmer's market.
The philosophy
Slow. Regional. Refillable. Nothing leaves the studio that hasn't been lived with. Formulas are short — usually under ten ingredients — and every one earns its place.
Where it's going
A second studio is opening this spring, and with it a small workshop programme — quiet Saturdays spent blending your own facial oil, tea in hand.
