The Skincare Brand That Started With a Scar
Tree Fairy started in a place no one expects a skincare brand to begin. An overseas work project, a very serious facial injury, and doctors using phrases like "significant scarring for life."
My plan was to tell everyone it was a bar fight. "You should've seen the other guy." Sadly, the truth was nowhere near that exciting.
While everyone else expected me to accept my fate, I did what any stubborn, over-researching skincare lover does. I went deep. Natural ingredients, healing ones like green tea, pomegranite, manuka honey (now essential oils for our vegans), everything that might support recovery without making things worse. I combined the best of them.
And from that came our first product, There's Nothing Wrong With A Pommy Honey face moisturiser.
What started as a "let's hope this helps" experiment became something genuinely special. Over months, the severe scarring softened, reduced, and became barely noticeable unless I'm deliberately standing under bright lights pointing it out. People started asking what miracle I had used.
So I shared it. And suddenly Tree Fairy wasn't just my personal project anymore.
The rest, the eczema parents, the thank you notes, the before and after photos, the corporate boardrooms I eventually walked away from to come back to this, that's a story for another blog.
But it started with a scar, a stubborn streak, and a face moisturiser with a ridiculous name.
No beauty standards. No self-proclaimed influencers. No gender roles. Just healthy skin. And healthy skin is your best skin.
