Molton Brown - Dark Leather

Mehr über Molton Brown

In 1973, a hair salon called Molton Brown opened at 58 Molton Street in London's Mayfair district. The salon was special from the outset, as late 1970s London was characterised by the use of synthetic products and artificial mass-produced goods. At Molton Brown, however, they worked with gentle products and placed particular emphasis on their naturalness. The haircuts were also creatively tailored to the individuality of each customer, rather than following the dictates of the masses. The hair salon was a resounding success, which was to continue unabated from then on. The first care products were mixed by hand on the upper floor using nettle and chamomile. In 1978, Dale Daxon Bowers joined the Molton Brown team from Mary Quant Cosmetics and set up a cosmetics laboratory in the kitchen above the salon. Dale's passion, creativity and belief that nature should be at the heart of their new developments was the origin of a completely new range. She was a perfectionist and followed her own path.

By the 1980s, the small salon had grown into a Molton Brown shop selling Dale's plant-based products, including make-up, body and skin care cosmetics, and hair care products. Soon they were supplying shops, airlines and hotels all over the world.

Two decades later, the development team has moved from its makeshift laboratory to a more prestigious facility in Hertfordshire, just outside London. Although the company is now much larger, it is still driven by the same passion.

The substances used in Molton Brown products are sourced from natural sources wherever possible and are gently processed to preserve their natural properties.

The various ingredients are sourced from a wide range of locations around the world. As part of its corporate philosophy, Molton Brown is also committed to environmental and climate protection and strives to implement this in its own production. This is achieved, for example, by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and waste production.
