Crabtree & Evelyn

Businessman Cyrus Harvey founded Crabtree & Evelyn with designer Peter Windett in the 70's. Harvey through global travel believed he could improve lives by his discoveries and experiences and this led to a range of products and collections that were about storytelling, wellbeing and beauty. The name Crabtree is another word for a type of apple tree which in native Britain was prized for its beauty and the role it played in medicine at the time.

And Evelyn came from the 17th-century horticulturist John Evelyn whose philosophy inspired Harvey. A visionary of his time, he believed that humans needed to work with nature in order for them to truly connect with themselves.

Today the mission of Crabtree & Evelyn is a combination of both men's philosophies and is to empower everyone to explore and grow, whilst redefining what beauty means along the way. Finding the unique and crafting the unexpected, discovery, connection and creating different better experiences.

Beauty is more than what you put on your skin. It's how you feel and your attitude to life.
