Brand overview
Neighbourhood Botanicals is a formulator-led clean skincare brand, manufactured in house in a professional lab in East London. They use mostly cold-pressed and raw plant oils to ensure their products gain the maximum in beneficial nutrients from their chosen ingredients. They work with artists to create bright and interesting packaging that stands out from the crowd. Neighbourhood Botanicals is the UK’s first beauty brand to become carbon-negative. It is also a certified Living-Wage employer and its products are vegan and cruelty free. Neighbourhood Botanicals launched in 2016, but following her studies with Formula Botanica, founder Micaela Nisbet took her start-up range to the next level by moving from purely oil blends to more complex formulas. Micaela also put her deeper knowledge to work in upgrading her manufacturing processes in line with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
