About the Company
- We are building a brand that represents the people of the world.
- You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics.
- We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.
- The Living Wage Foundation’s statement 'a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay' is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK.
- As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.
Equal Opportunity
- Diversity matters
- We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!
