About

 

The Somerset Toiletry Company

The Somerset Toiletry Company was founded in 1999 by Sakina and Roger Buoy with a simple goal: to create beautiful, honestly priced luxury toiletries.

Based in Clutton, between Bath and Bristol, the company produces a wide range of bath, body and home fragrance products, with a gift shop and café at its Somerset headquarters.

Roger brought his expertise in entrepreneurship, while Sakina contributed her passion for aromatherapy.

Together, they saw an opportunity to offer something unique to the industry. Their early success in producing private-label body care products quickly evolved, leading to the launch of their own brands in 2010.

Today, their products are sold and cherished in over 50 countries.

Bath, Body and Home Fragrance Products

The Somerset Toiletry Company sells its own brands as well as working with large retail groups to design, formulate and manufacture private-label goods.

With an extensive range of products, from shower gels and hand washes to lotions, soaps, diffusers, candles, perfumes and more, the company has a wealth of experience and expertise.

From beloved collections such as Naturally European and Aromas Artesanales de Antigua to the men's range, Mr Perfect & Friends, its products are crafted with care and consideration for customers.

The collections can be found in gift shops, garden centres and pharmacies worldwide, as well as online.
