Company Focus

 Heavenly skincare from an island home

In 2001 Liz Earle opened her first shop in the Isle of Wight’s lovely coastal resort of Ryde, selling the Naturally Active Skin Care range for which she is now a household name. Developed initially for her own skin problems, their gentle pampering formulations are based on effective natural ingredients, which are suitable for all skin types. Nourishing advocado, calming neroli, healing rose-hip and natural-source vitamin E form the basis of The Naturally Active Skin Care range.

Having a fixed cut off date of 1998, Liz insists on “High quality, safe, naturally active ingredients” and ensures her suppliers are monitored on an annual basis.

Companies need to ensure that they are totally transparent in terms of ingredients used and share this with their customers. This would do a great deal to reassure customers as to the safeness and efficacy of products. Customers should feel able to ask product companies in-depth questions and have these answered promptly and thoroughly.
 

Formulations are tested by qualified dermatologists on panels of human volunteers, and manufactured to pharmaceutical standards that comply with and indeed exceed European and USA FDA safety regulations.

Promising stress free festive shopping, Liz Earle’s seasonal selection offers something for everyone, from stocking fillers to inspirational gifts and indulgent treats, which even arrive individually hand wrapped and boxed.

Indeed quality and outstanding customer service, have been a number one focus from the outset. This commitment to customer service was recognised when Liz Earle Cosmetics received the prestigious Outstanding Customer Service Category of the ECMOD 2002 Awards.
