Sole owner of one of Britain's fastest-growing private companies (recognised for the past seven years and counting).I started Tropic at 15 with one goal: to help my mum pay the bills. Inspired by my Grandma’s Australian homemade body scrub recipe, I recreated the delicious blend in my mums kitchen and sold it at Greenwich market every weekend. Fast-forward 20 years and we have moved from my mum’s kitchen table to our Surrey Beauty Kitchen, where we freshly make our nutritious, natural skincare and beauty products. Over 300 staff work together to bring our award-winning formulas to life, from initial conception and testing in our Innovation Lab, through to manufacturing (we are proudly Made In Britain), and finally picked, packed and dispatched to homes across the UK. In 2013, we launched our social-selling model, to offer beauty lovers the opportunity to build their own business as a brand Ambassador. Our mission is to give our Ambassadors the means the accomplish their dreams and inspire them to make a difference in the lives of others. Tropic now has a family of over 20,000 active Ambassadors, all earning on their own terms. As we’ve grown, our principles have never changed. We still use the finest ingredients sourced from the tropics for exceptional, clinically proven results. We still freshly make every formulation. And we still do good beyond beauty – it’s all part of our mission to help create a healthier, greener, more empowered world.
