Our Journey towards Niche Perfume and Natural Skincare

Makers of artisan fragrances and natural skincare created from the heart and made with a conscience.

The Lake District. Rain-lashed fells, low-hanging clouds, and winds that cut to the bone. This is where we come from, and this is where our story begins. Living in these rugged landscapes, surrounded by untamed beauty, we learned to embrace the rawness of nature, not as something to resist, but as something to work with, to learn from, and be inspired.

In 1997, Bath House was born out of this respect for the natural world – a desire to create skincare and fragrances inspired by the land we live in, made with ingredients that are as pure and powerful as the landscapes that shaped us. We wanted to create products that didn’t just care for skin but told a story of craftsmanship, integrity, and the bond between people and place.

It started simply; small batches, local hands, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Every cream, every oil, every fragrance is still made by us here. We take full ownership of the process – every blend, every bottle, every detail. For us, there’s no other way. To hand over the making would be to lose sight of what makes it meaningful; the control, the creativity, the connection to the land, and the promise of quality we owe to you.

Since those early days, we’ve grown, but our ethos remains unchanged. Our focus is on creating skincare that works and fragrances that transport – crafted with green science, vegan ingredients, and a steadfast dedication to sustainability. We use only what’s necessary and always consider how to do better, from eliminating plastic, using recyclable glass and aluminium, to working with like-minded partners who share our values.

Our accreditations – Leaping Bunny, Green Small Business, Plastic Bank – aren’t just badges on a website. They’re the result of rigorous audits, third-party checks, and a determination to stay accountable in everything we do. Every choice we make, every material we source, is scrutinised, recorded and refined to align with our mission – to create exceptional products that care for both people and planet.

Bath House is more than skincare and fragrance. It’s a reflection of the Lake District itself: wild, resilient, and deeply rooted in a connection to nature. We’re proud to make everything here, in the heart of these landscapes, and to share it with you – products designed not just to nurture your skin, but to resonate with the stories and places that inspired them.

This is who we are. Always looking forward, always learning, always inspired by nature.
