Here at Natural Health we’re always on the lookout for the game-changing brands that are offering the products we can’t wait to get our hands on.

PHB Ethical Beauty – which stands for Pure, Handmade, British – is exactly that.

FROM THE HEART
Crafted by three passionate entrepreneurs, their 100 percent plant-powered beauty products could improve not only your skin, but your health and wellbeing too. Their pioneering formulas are always 100 percent natural, vegan, cruelty free and palm oil free. What’s more, they donate 20 percent of profits to The One Love Foundation. Started in 2012 by natural beauty lover, Rose Brown, her partner John Tierney and his mum Sally Gibbins, the brand grew out of the family’s independent cosmetics shop. Just like us, they were dismayed by the cheap, toxic, and animal-derived ingredients found in soughtafter brands, so they decided to create their own products with ethical credentials.

NATURAL SWAP
This year, PHB Ethical Beauty are launching four new skincare lines. “We truly believe in the power of plants, so our products are created to connect you to the high vibrational, healing qualities of nature.” explains co-founder Rose. “We’re super-conscious about every aspect, from the ingredients used and how they’re sourced, to ensuring our packaging is easy to recycle.” Over the last few years people have woken up to the chemicals lurking in their moisturisers and serums, so it’s no surprise that the British brand has seen a huge surge in demand. “We’ve revamped our entire skincare portfolio and are ensuring that we remain at the very forefront of this beauty movement globally.”
