Our ingredients

Cowshed was one of the first brands to specialise in the use of plants and their oils, proteins, essential fatty acids and vitamins.

Every Cowshed product contains a high ratio of premium quality essential oils, providing the therapeutic benefits for which the range is renowned. Pure essential oils are at the very heart of Cowshed. They are the concentrated, aromatic essence of a plant, extracted from its leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds, stems or roots. Essential oils enhance both psychological and physical well-being.

A single drop of our trademark infusion of herbs and flowers hand-picked from the Victorian walled garden at Babington House goes into every Cowshed formulation.

In addition to expertly blended essential oils, herbal infusions and flower waters, Cowshed products contain countless other nourishing natural ingredients. Never compromising on quality, we select cold pressed, extra virgin and other premium grade oils to ensure their essential vitamin and naturally replenishing fatty acid content are not lost as they would be with oils of a lesser quality.

Our formulations are suitable for vegetarians and contain no animal products except organic beeswax and wild flower honey. Cowshed has never and will never test on animals.

Our products contain no petrochemicals, parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances or colours.
