Brand overview
Lucky Cloud Skincare is a multi-award-winning vegan friendly and eco conscious skincare brand founded in 2015 by Lucy Cardwell in Edinburgh, Scotland. Created for people who are frustrated with sore, irritated and inflamed skin that causes discomfort and pain, Lucky Cloud gives you the confidence you deserve using natural, high-performing, plant-based ingredients that don’t cost the earth. Value driven, Lucky Cloud products have sustainability at their core; from the way they are manufactured in small batches to the efficacious ingredients chosen and to Lucy’s decision to opt for plastic-free and biodegradable packaging.
Lucy says that enrolling in Formula Botanica courses was one of the best decisions she has ever made, and one that went beyond helping her grow her business. The experience really helped her to build her confidence, expand her knowledge and drive her passion for natural skincare. Lucy had already launched her business before enrolling with Formula Botanica, but she says that the courses helped her increase her formulation skills considerably, and deepen her knowledge of skin science and amazing plant-based ingredients. Lucy is constantly learning and developing her skills, and appreciates having The Lab at Formula Botanica on tap. She says that having resources she can refer to time and again is such a goldmine, as is the online classroom in which you can learn by engaging with other students who generously share their experiments, successes and stumbling blocks.
