From Personal Journey to Plant-Powered Beauty
When 11-year-old Kathryn struggled with acne and rosacea, she tried everything. At age 16, she discovered
that
commercial products weren't the answer — nature's garden was, especially plant oils. This
early revelation lit a fire in her, leading her on the path to being a certified aromatherapist
and
organic skincare formulator, passionate about sharing the true healing power of plants.
The Phoenix Moment
Sometimes the biggest challenges lead to the most beautiful transformations. When Brexit and
COVID-19
threatened our UK-based sustainable skincare brand, which focused on transforming lives in
Africa
through fair wages, thousands of pounds of special ingredients were left stranded and rotting in
African ports. The third-party manufacturers (using our formulations) closed, and our family
tourism business was forced to shut. But we didn't give up — we evolved! Our tourist
cottages
in the Canary Islands became an artisanal skincare laboratory, and Flor y Amor was born.
Award-Winning Natural Beauty
Featured in luxury spas and national media outlets, embraced by wellness professionals,
from
massage therapists to health food shops our award-winning formulations can be found in more
than
23 locations on this island alone. Recognized with two Woman & Home Clever Skincare Awards for
"Best
Facial Oil" and "Best Cleanser", we have devoted customers worldwide. Each product unites
Kathryn's expertise in plant medicine and aromatherapy with Charles's creative direction and
marketing, enhanced by botanical artwork by their Mum and photography by their Dad. It has
blossomed
into a true family business passionate about the power of plants, shown through natural skincare.
