In the heart of Edinburgh, the legacy of Duncan Napier, a pre-eminent Victorian botanist and the most famous herbalist in Scotland, lives on through Napiers the Herbalists. Founded by Duncan himself, the store at Bristo Place, Edinburgh, has become a haven for those seeking original herbal remedies, natural therapeutic skincare, botanical beauty, and herbal food supplements and teas that stand out from the rest.
Duncan Napier’s dedication to harnessing the power of nature for holistic well-being is evident in every corner of Napiers. The store has evolved over the years, adapting to modern needs while staying true to its roots. Today, Napiers offers a wide range of products, from herbal remedies to skincare and beyond.
Among the latest additions to Napiers‘ offerings is the Herbal Bodycare line—a collection designed to naturally hydrate and protect your skin. Let’s delve into some of the standout products that exemplify Napiers‘ commitment to blending tradition with innovation.
Napiers Wild Rose & Lavender Hand and Body Wash
Imagine an opulent blend with calming lavender and indulgent patchouli for blissful and hydrated skin. Napiers‘ naturally-foaming and sweet herbal hand and body wash offer the perfect union of deeply cleansing actives and indulgent plant extracts. This leaves your skin soothed, soft to touch, and with a natural veil of delicate scent. A sensory experience that goes beyond mere cleansing.
Napiers Starflower Dry Skin Cream
Counted among their bestselling emollient creams, the Starflower Cream is a moisturizing and calming elixir. Enriched with natural, active herbal extracts like Borage seed oil, which is naturally high in GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid), an essential Omega-6 fatty acid crucial for healthy skin cell walls. The absence of GLA can lead to dry, itchy skin. Borage oil, penetrating the skin, delivers GLA benefits directly to your skin cells, ensuring your skin stays moisturized and healthy.
Napiers Lavender Bath Crystals
Picture yourself relaxing away the cares of the day in a luxury, scented salt bath. Napiers Lavender Bath Crystals combine sea salt, Epsom salt, and the soothing aroma of lavender essential oil to soften and condition your bathwater. A sensory retreat that not only rejuvenates your body but also calms your mind, leaving you ready for a restful night’s sleep.
AKT After Thunder Deodorant Balm
For a life-changing, natural deodorant experience inspired by London’s West End, look no further. AKT After Thunder Deodorant Balm is not just effective but also eco-friendly. Plastic-free, aluminum-free, and cruelty-free, this enriched blend of fragrant botanicals and Deo-Barrier Complex(TM) keeps you feeling dry and confident all day long. The fragrance takes you on a journey—a walk through the woods after a thunderstorm, with notes of damp cedar, fresh leaves, citrus rays, and the lingering scent of wet earth and cedar.
At first, the invigorating scent of Eucalyptus, Caledonian Pine, and Orange sunbeams captivates your senses. Then, the aromatic blend of Rosemary, Morning Dew, and a sense of wonder unfolds. Finally, you’re enveloped in the grounding notes of wet earth and lingering cedar, bringing a sense of calm and connection to nature.
Napiers‘ commitment to quality, natural ingredients, and the art of herbalism is not just a testament to its rich history but a promise to modern consumers seeking genuine, holistic wellness. As you explore the diverse offerings at Napiers the Herbalists, you’re not just purchasing products; you’re investing in a tradition of herbal excellence that has stood the test of time. So, why not embark on a journey of self-care with Napiers and let the healing power of herbs elevate your well-being?
