A Message from our Founder | Denise Leicester
Dear friends,
As the year draws to a close, I’m pausing - hand on heart- to say thank you. Thank you for welcoming ilā into your treatment rooms, for trusting in our bottles of nature’s wisdom, and for believing, as we do, that beauty begins far beneath the surface. This season always takes me back to our studio in the Cotswolds - calm, humming with quiet mantra - where our team hand-blends each product with care and good intention. Every jar and drop carries the touch of many loving hands: the women who press oils in their cooperatives, the growers who tend the plants, and our therapists who turn simple rituals into moments of deep peace. Christmas invites us to soften: to rest, to listen, to light a candle and let the room fall still.
My wish for you is simple - may you find small pockets of silence, generous laughter, and the steady glow of kindness. We step into the new year with gratitude and gentle excitement-continuing to blend science and soul, protecting the purity of our ingredients, and nurturing the communities who make this work possible. Thank you for walking beside us.
With love and blessings for a peaceful Christmas and a bright, healthy New Year,
Denise x
