Richard Austin and his daughter, Bessie, have spent their lives immersed in the world of organics. Anyone who’s visited the East Anglian city of Norwich, England, will know of Rainbow Wholefoods, one of Britain’s oldest and most established natural and organic food stores, which Austin senior set up in 1976.
His daughter, Bessie, grew up eating organic food and using natural products. When she finished her work in design and advertising, the duo has teamed up to create Austin Austin, a small-scale, six-piece collection of hair- and skin-care products that’s driven by aesthetic principles as well as ethical ones. The entire line is made without silicone, parabens or SLS — a detergent that creates foam but often irritates the skin. Rather than fall back on citrus smells that are common to organic beauty, the Austins incorporate more complex, offbeat notes such as vetiver and petitgrain.
The Austins conceive of each collection as a harmonious set whose parts are meant to sit side by side. Seen together, the hand soap and hand cream look rather like a handsome couple contemplating their relationship. The next installment is set to come to fruition early next year, and from there, the Austins will settle into a natural rhythm that sees the line constantly refreshed by new collaborators.
