The passion for fragrance and design can be seen not just in the ingredients but also through the contemporary packaging. The company is excited to be presenting these new products at the fabulous Harrogate Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival 2018 along with its existing portfolio of seasonal and all-year collections. As with all of the collections Marmalade of London produce, they are 100 per cent British-made. The candles are 100 per cent soy wax with cotton wicks and essential oils. The bath and body ranges contain lovely natural ingredients, including shea butter, vitamin E and aloe vera. These new collections have been developed and manufactured in its laboratories and premises in Cheltenham. Marmalade of London is delighted to be trading in Canada and will soon to be launching in the U.S. But as great and exciting as exporting can be, Marmalade of London has a special place in its heart for Yorkshire.
