About Odylique

Margaret Weeds from Nottingham was a coworker of Anita Roddick was and a trained practitioner of herbal medicine and aromatherapy. Both Margaret and her family suffered from various skin conditions.  Due to the late 1980s, the only true options were regular cosmetics or skincare that required a prescription. These were unsuitable for reactive skin because they were frequently loaded with petroleum, synthetic additives, and other skin irritants. So Odylique was founded as an alternative!

Odylique performs well in many areas of our assessment, particularly in our Environment category, where it achieves full marks.
