stocking up on molton brown

When you see your favourite things you should always stock on up them! Our favourite when it comes to hand lotions and such is the good old English Molton Brown. Somehow I never managed to visit those places in SF that stock on my brand (and yes, I know they also sell on Internet…), and despite most chains being global it just feels better to buy it in the country of origin. I hope I haven’t been fooled and that they haven’t moved their production yet to China or somewhere else (have to add that I did some fact-checking and the products are still made in England, but the company has been owned by Japanese for some years now).

Maybe that is a weird attitude, but regardless our suitcase is filled with Molton Brown (and Jaffa cakes for the lovely friend who is picking us up from the airport). I wonder if anyone else is as silly as I am and travels around the world with hand lotions and stuff…

Anyway the reasons we love Molton Brown are many – they actually work well (I don’t like those lotions that leave your skin slippery or too dry), smell so delicious, the bottle design is cute, and I find the names lovely too…I got some thai vert, naran ji, amber cocoon, white mulberry, heavenly gingerlily (this one is still on top of the list), yuan zhi and coco de mer. Oh I know it’s a long list, but the whole family participated in the testing and smelling process and we had a lot of fun!
