MITCHELL AND PEACH HAVE ALWAYS EMPHASIZED SUSTAINABILITY. WE BELIEVE THAT TO BUY A BRAND THAT IS LOCALLY MADE IS ONE EASY WAY TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT AND BOTH FLORA NO.1 AND THE ENGLISH LEAF COLLECTIONS ARE SOURCED, BLENDED AND BOTTLED IN THE UK.

THE COLLECTIONS ARE CREATED USING AN UNUSUALLY HIGH PROPORTION OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS - MANY OF THEM ORGANIC, WHICH INCLUDE THE HONEY FROM OUR OWN HIIVES, FOXBURY FARM GROWN LAVENDER AND LOCALLY SOURCED MINT OILS AND SHEA AND COCOA BUTTERS. OTHER NATURAL INGREDIENTS INCLUDE PLANT KERATIN, COCONUT, ALMOND, JOJOBA AND ARGAN OILS.

THIS NATURAL APPROACH ALSO GOES BEYOND INGREDIENTS; THE MITCHELL FAMILY'S FIFTH-GENERATION ESTATE NEAR SEVENOAKS IN KENT HAS ALWAY BEEN MANAGED WITH SENSITIVITY TO ITS FLORA AND FAUNA. FROM ESTABLISHING NESTING AREAS FOR SKYLARKS AND OTHER BIRDS, CREATING WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND SEEDING WILDFLOWER MEADOWS, THE PROTECTION OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IS KEY.

THE MITCHELL’S HAVE BEEN FARMING IN KENT FOR FIVE GENERATIONS, CULTIVATING THE LAND, TENDING THE SAME BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE AND WORKING WITH LOCAL FAMILIES TO CONTRIBUTE TO A PROSPEROUS RURAL COMMUNITY. SINCE 1894 THE FAMILY HAS GROWN A WIDE RANGE OF HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCE.

FOLLOWING THE SECOND WORLD WAR THE MITCHELL LORRIES WOULD LEAVE KENT EACH NIGHT, PILED HIGH WITH GOODS TO ARRIVE AT COVENT GARDEN MARKET BEFORE MIDNIGHT, THE PRODUCE WOULD BE UNLOADED BY HAND BEFORE RELOADING THE EMPTY BOXES FOR THE RETURN JOURNEY TO THE FARM.

AT THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY COVENT GARDEN WAS A MELTING POT, WHERE MARKET BUYERS AND PORTERS WOULD MINGLE WITH THEATRE-GOERS, TOURISTS, FLEET STREET JOURNALISTS AND CITY WORKERS.

SIR HENRY COOPER, THE CHAMPION BOXER, WOULD OFTEN STOP AT THE MITCHELL AND PEACH STAND FOR A CHAT. IT IS THIS HISTORY THAT CONTINUES TO SHAPE MITCHELL AND PEACH TO THIS DAY.

INDULGENT, SOFTENING, EFFORTLESSLY ABSORBED, THE FETED ENGLISH LEAF BODY CREAM HAS ATTRACTED PRAISE FROM EDITORS AND CELEBRITIES ALIKE.
