Branche d'Olive
Branche d'Olive is a UK-based sustainable company that specialise in luxury home fragrances and naturally derived bath and body products. At Cotswold Trading we stock a wide range of their gorgeously scented hand soaps, hand & body washes, body lotions, candles and diffusers.
Branche d'Olive was established in 2003 by Jane Comyn and Ruth Watson with a shared goal: to discover luxury items that embodied a philosophy of unwavering quality and sustainable style without complexity.
Over the last 20 years, Branche d’Olive's product range has been meticulously curated so that they can now boast an extensive array of opulent home fragrances and indulgent bath and body essentials that are stocked in a wide selection of retailers nationwide.
Four years ago, a pivotal decision was made to reformulate the Olive bath and body series, relocating its production to the UK. Collaborating closely with a family-run enterprise in Suffolk, Jane and Ruth have achieved an average of 95.6% naturally derived ingredients in the range, while preserving its much-loved citrus/floral aroma. Alongside this, Branche d'Olive now also work with a UK manufacturer specialising in recycled plastic bottles, resulting in packaging crafted entirely from 100% PCR plastic (post-consumer recycled), including caps and pumps - which is all fully recyclable.
Branche d'Olive is completely dedicated to pursuing the goal of environmental sustainability across all aspects of the business. In addition to the introduction of recycled bottles, all packaging is now sourced from UK suppliers using carbon-balanced paper certified by the World Land Trust. Gradual integration of recycled card and paper is underway, along with trials of new soap wraps to replace cellophane, including compostable and anaerobically biodegradable cellulose film.
