Dutch Heritage Cosmetics Dutch Heritage Cosmetics is where tradition, nature, and a touch of quirkiness come together. No big teams. No investors. Just one woman, a kitchen, some pots of tallow, and an idea that got a little out of hand. In 2021, founder Bianca began making skincare in her own kitchen. Demand grew fast — by 2023 she'd outgrown two studio spaces. Dutch Heritage Cosmetics now operates from a beautiful 180 m² workspace in Kortenhoef, surrounded by farms and peace.

Their skincare is rooted in one of the oldest beauty traditions in the world: pasture-raised animal fat combined with carefully selected organic ingredients sourced directly from farmers and trusted suppliers — agricultural byproducts given a second life as luxury skincare. Every jar is hand-labelled and filled on site.

By Robin Creations Anti-Aging Moisturizer

By Robin Creations Robin had been an Etsy and handmade product consumer for years when, on a camping trip, a friend handed her an unlabelled lip balm. "Did you make this?" she asked — and just like that, her maker journey began. She started with vegan lip balm and deodorant, perfecting each formula before adding new products one by one. What began at craft shows and farmers markets grew into a thriving Etsy shop, and then a standalone website. Today, By Robin Creations has two employees (and two shop dogs). Every order ships within one day and arrives with a hand-written thank you note plus at least one free full or trial size item.

A portion of every purchase is donated to human rights and environmental organisations, and their entire supply chain prioritises women and people of colour as partners and vendors.

EmpireSquid Organics EmpireSquid Organics is a small, family-owned business dedicated to handcrafting toxin-free skincare from all-natural and mostly organic ingredients.

Everything is made to order, fully customisable at no extra cost, and includes organic options for pregnancy and babies. Beeswax can be swapped out on request for a fully vegan formula.

nothing else nothing else was born out of necessity. The founder is allergic to preservatives — and after discovering that all skincare preservatives are toxic (yet used in 99% of products), she learned to formulate without them. The solution: go entirely waterless, because water is what requires preservatives in the first place. She also has psoriasis. Rates of every single skin disease increase year on year — while the industry profits from the very problems it helps create. nothing else exists to change that.

The Goat To Soap The Goat To Soap began with a simple goal — to make better, natural soap. Tired of store-bought bars packed with 20+ ingredients impossible to recognise or pronounce, they went back to basics: small-batch soaps made with real goat's milk, pure oils, and clean, simple ingredients your skin can actually benefit from.

They believe less is more — fewer ingredients, better quality, and a process that honours nature. Every bar is designed to hydrate, soothe, and restore balance to your skin while being kind to the planet. Each recipe is tested, refined, and perfected to perform beautifully without compromising on purity.

Kingfisher Fennel Fluoride Free Toothpaste

Kingfisher Kingfisher has been making natural toothpaste since 1988, when founder Richard Austin — already a pioneer of the UK wholefood movement since 1976 — concluded that people shouldn't have to accept artificial colourings, flavourings, sweeteners, and preservatives in something they put in their mouths every day. The range has since grown to ten flavours and varieties. Kingfisher was the first natural toothpaste to receive approval from the Oral Health Foundation, and Richard still works in Rainbow Wholefoods every Saturday morning.

KÖPPEN KÖPPEN began in founders Parag & Priya's parents' garage, long before they had the resources or experience — but with a clear vision of what could be better. They spent years experimenting with formulas, testing designs, and learning what it means to build something from nothing, guided by a simple belief: people deserve something better for a habit they'll do for the rest of their lives.

Their philosophy starts with the mouth — the first language we ever learn. We taste, speak, laugh, breathe, and connect through it, yet rarely think about its vital role in our overall health. KÖPPEN exists to change that, because caring for the mouth means caring for the moments that make us human.

Every step is made thoughtful to the environment: natural, ethically-sourced ingredients, recyclable materials, refillable packaging, and low-impact production.

Important disclaimers

Independent health brands don't always mean they use clean or the "right" ingredients. Always check labels and do your own research first. Also, try to check who manufactures ingredients, as sometimes large and toxic corporations are still in control of that rather than the health brand itself.

Every brand here is still a far better choice than what you'll find in most supermarkets. Do your research, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

This list is not definitive and will be updated and changed based on new information becoming available. This list may contain mistakes and should not be considered as legal, medical, or financial advice. Do your own research first. It's not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any diseases or replace professional medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
