The story behind Banks-Lyon Botanical
BOTANICAL BEGINNINGS
BANKS-LYON BOTANICAL
From a family heritage in retail that spans over four generations, founder Gorgina Banks-Lyon's inspiration to run her own business came from her great, great grandfather, who opened a high quality leather store on Church Street, Lancaster in 1887. With a reputation for customer service and family values, it is still run by her father today.
Growing up with very sensitive skin, Georgina struggled to find high street products that didn’t contain chemicals or preservatives that also offered the spa-like pamper she was looking for. Following a few experiments and many hours around the kitchen table with her husband Simon, Banks-Lyon Botanical was born.
After selling their first soap loaves to friends and family, the couple soon out-grew the kitchen table (and the spare room), and moved to offices in Ramsbottom, in the heart of beautiful countryside north of Manchester.
Today, even though the business has gone from strength to strength Georgina & Simon still make everything themselves by hand. They also strive for a healthy work-life balance, and make time to take a few days out during school holidays to visit the Lake District and spend quality time with their two boys, Atticus and Rufus. Soon after becoming a new mum, Georgina still worked tirelessly and even formulated a collection of beautiful baby products that make great gifts for newborns and baby showers.
We're absolutely addicted to the gorgeous smell of the Brand's uniquely named little bath bars and can't wait to see what lovely blends they come up with next!
Super easy to order, quick delivery - I’m loving these laundry sheets! As someone with a very sensitive sense of smell, I cannot handle standard laundry scents so thought I’d give these a try. They do have a strong smell at first (for me at least) but when everything was washed and dry, it was perfect! My whites (always the test) came up really good too. Very happy :)
I’ve been looking for a UK company and UK made product to replace my laundry liquids and Green Tulip are perfect. Cruelty free and vegan with the added bonus of non toxic and environmentally friendly, what is not to love about that. I’m on my first lot of sheets and they wash well with a subtle scent of clean. Will definitely be reordering.
I am extremely pleased with my ocean flask ! It has been very satisfying to buy a flask with a smaller volume as some are too big. Love the colour and the style of it plus helping save plastic .Thanks
These were very charming notelet cards, easy shopping & I was delighted with them on arrival
I recently bought Up Circle Cream and Cleansing Milk and it covers my skin like a dream - soft and nourishing. Even my 16 daughter has started using it!
