Queen - sensitive skin is our speciality

Uniquely Sensitive Skin
Queen is unique among cosmetics companies because our commitment is to sensitive skin and sensitive skin alone. By sensitive skin we mean skin which needs extra-special care (it may react to certain ingredients or environments or it may just flare up unexpectedly), allergy-prone skin, and 'problem skin' which suffers from conditions which can include acne, rosacea and eczema. Since we were founded in 1927 by three eminent Harley Street dermatologists, we have focused on making the most effective but most gentle products for the most sensitive skins.

No gimmicks and no outlandish claims
There are no gimmicks to our cosmetics. Queen products are as simple, pure and as uncluttered with unecessary ingredients as it is possible to be. Yet, they still work more effectively than most more 'sophisticated' products because we focus on what cosmetics are supposed to do - cleanse, tone and moisturise without stressing skin - and not on making outlandish claims. 

Trust not trends
We don't try to follow trends. Our clients use our products because they can trust them which is why we have women in their nineties still using the products (and being forever complimented on their beautiful complexions!) as well as their daughters, grand-daughters and, in some cases, their great grand-daughters. What better endorsement could there be?

We don't jump on bandwagons
Our products are tried and tested and, as such, we do not change the formulations to respond to scare stories. All the ingredients we use are known to be safe and of the highest-quality. Queen products are not marketing-driven but are driven by the desire to produce the best products for sensitive skins. As such, you will not find the latest fashionable ingredients including essential oils and extracts which are highly irritant to truly sensitive skin.

Loyal to our roots
We are a small, UK company. All our manufacturing takes place at our own premises to ensure the highest and most rigorous standards of quality and safety. We source all our ingredients, packaging and labelling from UK-based companies instead of from cheaper mass producers abroad. We are based on a beautiful farm in West Sussex - looking out onto sheep, two donkeys and a rather bad-tempered horse. Working in such a perfect environment makes us even more committed to sound environmental and ethical practices. We produce only small batches of products at a time to minimise unnecessary wastage, we ensure no harmful environmental discharges and we recycle - and encourage our clients to recycle by sending back empty containers to our FREEPOST address - as much as possible.
