Analyzing The Molton Brown Portfolio In-Depth

Hand Care

While Molton Brown first launched with haircare, today they‘re renowned for ultra-rich hand washes and creams. Using premium ingredients like sweet almond oil, aloe vera and allantoin, these products smell good enough to eat! I‘ve found the pumps dispense just the right amount to get fully cleansed and hydrated hands in one application.

My History With Molton Brown

I first discovered Molton Brown during a trip to London in 2016. Wandering the streets of Mayfair, I popped into their flagship store and was instantly enthralled by the sophisticated yet playful branding. I loved reading about the founding story starting out in the back of a salon. The store staff sprayed the iconic Orange & Bergamot fragrance on my wrist and I was hooked – fresh, zesty citrus with a hint of spice truly evoked my memories of London summer days.

While the prices gave me pause initially, I decided to invest in the miniature Delicious Rhubarb & Rose gift set. At only $25 it included a shower gel, body lotion and hand cream allowing me to properly trial the range. The shower gel scent and silky lather impressed while the hand cream relieved dry skin beautifully.

When the set ran out, I took advantage of a holiday sale to restock my full sizes of the shower gel and hand cream. I‘m now on my 5th repurchase of both!

Below I share more thoughts on some beloved Molton Brown staples in my routine spanning bath and shower, body care, candles and gifting sets.
