I've always loved herbal plants and medical research; it's the one thing that gives me lots of pleasure, and helps me to unwind from the daily stress. For me, skincare and hygiene are very important and not all the products on the market are either natural or give any real benefit. Harley Street Cosmetic finally took shape in my mind and after several years it is becoming a recognised premium brand.

The beginning
Harley Street Cosmetic was inspired by my long-standing interest in plant chemistry and the multi-sensory experience that cosmetics offer, and my passion for development. Having studied chemistry at university, I set up my own cosmetic company. Considering my obsession with the skin care, it was probably only a matter of time before I started to create cosmetic products for my own company. I'm lucky to have been able to turn one of my hobbies into a full-time pursuit. I worked at a large cosmetic company in Harley Street that dealt with lasers. During my research I came across many cosmetic and skincare products. Many of the brands were poor quality, heavily perfumed and full of chemicals. The UK also does not have any premium skincare brands which has lead to the starting of Harley Street Cosmetic.

A rich tradition
Looking after your skin and hair has a rich and varied cultural history, and now encompasses many different traditions from around the world. But whatever the tradition, it's always a ritual practice that bestows deep benefits. Being a great believer in the physiological and emotional value of these ritual experiences, I set out to create a modern cosmetic brand. The result is Harley Street Cosmetic, a range designed to enhance the benefits that plants and science can bring. It gives me great pleasure to introduce it to you.
