Seilich Botanical Meadow Grown Skincare: Nourishing Beauty from Nature

Seilich Botanical Meadow Grown Skincare, is a remarkable brand rooted in the wildflower meadows of Pathhead, Scotland.

At Seilich, beauty isn’t just skin deep—it’s a harmonious blend of nature, science, and sustainability. Founded by botanist and passionate nature conservationist, Dr. Sally Gouldstone, Seilich is a brand that celebrates the beauty of wildflowers and their transformative power for our skin. Nestled in the picturesque Lothians of Scotland, Seilich’s wildflower meadow serves as the heart of their award-winning skincare products.

The Meadow: Where Magic Blossoms

Imagine a sun-kissed meadow, alive with vibrant blooms and buzzing pollinators. This is where Seilich’s journey begins. The company handpicks botanicals from their own wildflower meadow, ensuring a sustainable and ethical approach to skincare. These meadows aren’t just pretty landscapes; they’re havens for biodiversity, supporting native plants, insects, and wildlife. Seilich’s commitment to Wildlife Friendly certification ensures that their practices protect the delicate balance of nature while yielding potent ingredients.

Their skincare isn’t just about vanity; it’s about reverence for the Earth. By choosing their products, you’re supporting a brand that treads lightly, celebrates biodiversity, and empowers you to embrace your natural beauty.

Now you might ask what a food blogger is doing reviewing skincare?? Well there are many similarities.

Everything that goes into Seilich botanical skincare can be eaten or drunk is some form and we have shared appreciation for sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. Just as food bloggers emphasize the importance of knowing where our meals come from, so does Dr Sally. Both food and skincare benefit from conscious choices so, whether you’re savouring a farm-to-table dish or applying a Seilich face oil, it’s all nourishing your body.

Plus, a food blogger deserves some pamper time too!

Visiting the Seilich Meadow: A Botanical Adventure

I recently visited the enchanting Seilich Meadow, and honestly the air seemed to hum with the essence of wildflowers. Dr. Sally Gouldstone, charmed us with her passion for these meadow botanicals and it was contagious. She shared stories of each plant—the delicate chamomile, the resilient lavender, and the vibrant calendula—explaining how they thrived in harmony with the Scottish landscape.

We strolled through the meadow for our botanical tour and there is just something about reconnecting with nature that makes you feel so good.

In the meadow, a bell tent awaited for Seilich beauty treatments. As the sun dipped low, Sharlene Muir, a skilled facial therapist and wellness advocate from Organic Cabinet, guided us through a delightful DIY facial journey. We cleansed, exfoliated, and applied the meadow’s magic-infused oil to our faces. After sipping freshly picked herbal tea, it was time to head home. My skin felt rejuvenated, beautiful to the touch.

Fortunately, we took some products home, and now I enjoy using the luxurious Meadow Face Oil (£52). This carefully curated blend of UK-grown botanical oils—hazelnut, raspberry, blackcurrant, borage, and arvensis—balances omega 3, 6, and 9, deeply penetrating the skin while enhancing its outer barrier. Infused with daisies, plantain, calendula, rose petals, and red clover, this oil is a true treat. I also mist my face daily with the Meadow Face Mist (£28), crafted from meadowsweet, nettle, wild carrot, chamomile, and yarrow. It hydrates and refreshes, bringing a moment of calm to my day.

Seilich’s products are a heartfelt ode to Scotland’s wildflowers. Knowing that each application connects me to a blooming legacy nourishing both skin and soul adds to the joy.

For those seeking skin nourishment, consider starting your Seilich journey by visiting the meadow or attending a Skincare Making Workshop. All the details are available on their website.
