Press & Features

Valley Mist has been quietly building a reputation for handmade, natural skincare and aromatherapy since 2016 from our roots in Lancashire, with a thoughtful approach to plastic free packaging at it's core since day one.


Here you’ll find our story, what makes our products different, and news of our evolving brand.

For press enquiries, product information, founder interviews, photography or editorial sample requests, please get in touch. Let us know what you’re working on and any deadline, and we’ll let you know how we can help.

Our work has always been guided by a simple intention: to offer premium yet affordable products with a focus on reducing plastic waste. Treading lightly on the Earth is part of how we live and how we run Valley Mist, from the ingredients and packaging we choose to the glass we take back and reuse. We help our customers do the same.

A New Look, Unfolding Naturally


Valley Mist is introducing a new look across our skincare, aromatherapy and gifting collections.

Our refreshed packaging brings together botanical and wildlife illustrations, clearer product information and a more connected feel across the range. Behind the designs is an ongoing commitment to reducing packaging impact, including moving away from decorative foils and laminates.

The new look is appearing gradually as we prepare products in small batches and use existing packaging thoughtfully. Alongside it, we’re continuing to refine our range, choosing British-grown ingredients where suitable and making considered improvements to selected formulations.

At the heart of it all, we’re still Valley Mist: an independent business making products by hand, with care for the people who use them and the world around us.

Discover the Stories Behind Our New Look

Our rebrand is about more than new labels. It brings together thoughtful packaging choices, the people we work with and illustrations that connect each collection to the natural world.

Through our Journal, we’re exploring how it all comes together — from design and print to the characters you’ll find across our range:

Each illustration brings its own character to our collections:
  • The Noble Owl for our Natural Skincare.
  • The Sleeping Fox for our Aromatherapy.
  • The Powerful Stag for our Men’s Grooming.
  • The Mother & Baby Hare, celebrating the family bond, for our Mother & Baby Skincare.

These illustrations help you find your way through our range, while the collections naturally overlap. Essential oils bring an aromatherapy element to many of our skincare products too, with our Pure collection offering fragrance-free alternatives.

Our Story

Founded by Jo, Valley Mist began with a small range of natural lip balms and a desire to offer an alternative to everyday plastic packaging.

Today, we create a wider collection of natural skincare and aromatherapy products at our shop and workshop in Leyland, Lancashire. Opened in 2021, this space brings together making, shopping and conversations with the community that has helped us grow.

Our guiding intention remains simple: to make effective, enjoyable products with carefully chosen ingredients and a thoughtful approach to waste.

We welcome opportunities to share the people, processes and ideas behind Valley Mist, from natural skincare formulation and pure essential oils to small-scale manufacturing, packaging and independent retail.

We make things that work better and last longer. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.

A Little Note About Gifted Collaborations

We love enthusiasm for Valley Mist, but our products are handmade, our team is small, and social mentions don’t cover the cost of making them.

We don’t routinely send free products in exchange for posts or exposure. We choose a small number of collaborations where there’s a clear fit with our values and customers.

Thanks for understanding, there are real people, ingredients and an awful lot of washing-up behind every jar.
