CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF SPIEZIA ORGANICS

Spiezia are celebrating a decade since its inception by original founder and formulator, Dr Mariano Spiezia in 1999. A great deal has changed and developed in the organic skincare market since Amanda Barlow and co-director Sally Read invested in Spiezia in 2002.  

Amanda and Sally helped Spiezia grow from a cottage industry to an internationally recognised brand which has won many awards and accolades for its promotion of the benefits of organic chemical free skincare which only uses 100% organic ingredients as well as Spiezia’s ethical approach to business.  

The original formulations, methods and processes created by Dr. Spiezia 10 years ago are still used to hand make the wonderful Spiezia products at Gear Farm in Cornwall. The team at Spiezia have all retained the ethos and philosophy of the original formulations and have used these to create new products such as the Lemongrass and Marigold Body Scrub and Rose and Camomile Gentle Face Scrub.

To celebrate 10 years, here are 10 really great Feel Good factors about the Spiezia 100% Organic range which are simply MADE FOR LIFE TM.

 1) Spiezia still believe Nature does it best.  All Spiezia products are truly authentic, created using the original methods and formulations created by Dr Spiezia.  These methods integrate modern science with ancient wisdom to create beautiful and effective products that will benefit the whole family.

2)100% Organic means organic through and through. Spiezia still hand produce and finish everything on one of the first organic farms to be established in Cornwall. At the heart of each of their products lies a maceration of organic oils and herbs, biodynamically matured to harness the energy of the sun and moon.  This is an essential part of the Spiezia production process which ensures that the naturally occurring chemicals from the herbs and flowers we use develop gently for a full cycle of the moon. 

3) Spiezia led the way. Spiezia was first organic skincare range to gain 100% accreditation from the Soil Association across every single product.  And they are still recognised as the leading and original 100% organic skincare brand.

 4) Spiezia has tiny feet. Their packaging reduces our carbon footprint as well as celebrating their Cornish roots. A recent redesign has been awarded an international design award, reduced our carbon footprint and environmental impact by 12% and even reduced breakages to 0.08%. All the bottles and jars are made from recycled glass, all the cardboard sleeves are recycled and all the lids are recyclable aluminium.

5) Spiezia cares for the environment.  All ingredients are completely bio-degradable and the only bi-product from production is water. That’s why they are really popular with people who love and appreciate Nature, health and beauty.

 6) Spiezia lifestyle benefits. Over 8 years ago Spiezia Organics developed a number of therapeutic, holistic spa treatments which have been trademarked and introduced into many UK spas, including some of the top hotels and spas in Cornwall. These treatments are also used in their Made for Life TM events.

 7) Spiezia set up the Made for LifeTM Foundation to provide support and help for women diagnosed or recovering from cancer.  They have held 16 Made for Life days over the past 12 months supporting over 250 women.  Spiezia events are recognised and supported by the Mermaid Centre nurses in Cornwall, Macmillan and Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres .  The Foundation is a result of our belief in the importance of always giving something back in life.

8) Spiezia is tops. Once again Spiezia has been rated by The Times as one of the top 100 skincare brands  – this is the 4^th year running.
