About us

Natural Elements was founded in 1998 by Karen Blackmore, who broke new ground in formulating, and John Hamilton, a now-bio-gerontologist, cell research scientist, and dermatology specialist who had worked in conjunction with UK universities and researched through world-leading longevity universities like Harvard, Cambridge, and Stanford. 

Organically, it was a R&D manufacturer called essentially yours that formulated the first natural and organic skincare products; little did they know there were. triggering an industry to make and develop truly natural products without all the nasty synthetics and petrochemicals.

Many of today's naturals own the development because of such early pioneers. The slogan is Leaders, not Followers 

They embarked on a mission to reinvent the wheel in personal care & skincare products, and now they have products for wellbeing and people prone to many of today's skin problems, along with the very best anti-ageing formulas in the world.

They discovered that many beauty products were not that effective at anti-ageing or were certainly responsible for a growing population of skin problems, along with allergies, because of the harsh chemicals that were and still are used in most products. Such chemicals were accelerating the ageing process and cell decay, along with hormone interference.

 This revelation led to produce own in-house brands, { Natural Elements, offering them directly to the public and being used by many holistic and wellbeing therapists. 

We're not just about 'natural' or 'organic'. We dived deep into the science of botanical compounds, understanding their cellular benefits. Our approach is holistic, focusing on the overall health and well-being benefits that plants offer, not just their impact on the skin.

We embrace the principles of Ayurveda (a holistic system of medicine and wellness that has its origins in ancient India). However, what sets us apart is our commitment to a deeper understanding of compounds through physicochemical and rheological characterization. This meticulous approach allows us to grasp the precise actions of plant chemicals—a distinction that places us on the right path to achieving your wellness goals.

In our pursuit of genuine cellular benefits, particularly concerning age-related issues, we recognize the pivotal role of antioxidants. There is a huge array of products on the market. What surprises us is that many major brands opt for less potent antioxidant oils, seemingly following trends with lower antioxidant levels. 

Moreover, there is a critical consideration that often goes unnoticed: molecule size. We ensure that our products use small-molecule oils that penetrate deep into the skin, enveloping and protecting newly formed cells. This is vital, as typical creams fall short in their anti-ageing efficacy due to oversized molecules that merely linger just under the skin's surface.  

Our approach extends to stimulating new cell production, especially for cells and for collagen. We prioritize the inclusion of the best and most potent amino acids, ensuring tangible results. We understand that amino acids play a central role in achieving intense anti-ageing benefits

John and Karen formed Essentially Yours, a company that pioneered natural and organic formulations for over two decades. This venture was ahead of its time, advocating for a shift from harmful petrochemicals to natural ingredients. Essentially Yours became the silent force behind many renowned brands.

Natural Elements was introduced in response to the demand for paraben-free products, and that was 25 years ago among professional beauty therapists and salons in the UK. 

Our products gained recognition around the world, setting a new standard in natural skincare. We've also been at the forefront of innovation, being the first beauty brand to incorporate cellulose, a potent antioxidant, into our formulations.

We're dedicated to using only pure, natural ingredients. Our products are designed to correct cell damage, harnessing the concentrated benefits of botanical sources. We continue to lead in developing advanced formulations, ensuring our products offer the best in skincare while promoting overall well-being.
