Reviewing your skincare routine at the beginning of a season is what our Wildsmith Skin experts advise. Just as your wardrobe changes and we switch out heavy knitwear and coats to lighter fabrics and jackets.

Just as the spaces we inhabit can become messy over time, so too can our minds. Persistent mental chatter drains our energy, leaving us anxious and unfocused. When everything feels urgent, it’s difficult to discern what truly matters. A mental cleanse serves as a much-needed reset, helping us break free from the cycle of stress and create space for clarity. 

Jane Scotter, Head Market Gardener at Heckfield Estates, shares her wisdom on nurturing the soil, preparing for the growing season, and the significance of the Three Kings preparation—a biodynamic tradition honouring our connection to the earth.

Ahead of the busy festive season, we sat down over a cup of tea to learn more about how she weaves small but meaningful moments of stillness throughout her busy schedule.

Every Summer we join our friends at Heckfield Home Farm to harvest Calendula and Chamomile flowers.

Nature serves as the perfect antidote to the busyness of modern life. In a world that pressures us to function like machines, spending time in nature effectively restores our sense of vitality. It’s essential for maintaining emotional balance and psychological wellbeing.

The trees planted by William Walker Wildsmith in the 1860s are a particular inspiration for our formulas – they adapt, heal, and grow according to their environment.

Wildsmith formulations are inspired by nature and rich in bio-active and botanical ingredients, but it’s the lab-grown actives we include that make them truly unique.

In our mission to make Wildsmith skincare as efficacious, yet sustainable as possible, we use lab-grown actives – alongside bioactive and botanical ingredients – in many of our formulations. But what does ‘lab grown’ actually mean, and how exactly do they benefit the environment?

The effects of hot and cold therapies are increasingly apparent – from stimulating blood flow, to enhancing immune response. One of the most accessible ways to experience this at home is in water.

The most well known function of our circadian rhythm is its role in setting our sleep-wake cycle, in response to our body’s ability to recognise when it’s dark and when it’s light and create a sleep-wake cycle.

As a skin concern for some of us congestion can feel like a constant battle with the texture of our skin constantly feeling and appearing uneven, and for others we may just need a monthly check-in.
