Mitchell & Peach

Mitchell and Peach bring the purity of the unspoilt English countryside into a collection of beautifully hblended bath and body products, including shower washes, bath oils, body creams and soaps. These carefully hand blended products are naturally perfumed with their signature lavender essence, always cultivated within the same 30 acre plot in Kent. These products stand out amongst common, industrially produced cosmetics, suspected of containing potentially dangerous chemicals as all ingredients are sustainably sourced from within the family estate assuring consumers that their products are completely natural and never tested on animals. This careful attention creates a quality and essence within these products is both exceptional and rare, leading to a glowing reputation within the beauty industry epitomised by the Dorchester Collection’s launch of the exclusive Mitchell and Peach spa package.

The Mitchell and Peach story centres around the sustainable cultivation of the same 30 acre plot in Kent, which for five generations has produced a variety of treasures from traditional strawberries and apples to the unusual hops and cob-nuts. However, the introduction of English Lavender by Ian Mitchell in 2002, unearthed an essence of such indisputable quality that it naturally created an extraordinary sense of English heritage in a bottle.

The picturesque estate is the heart and soul of these stunning products as each one is painstakingly yet expertly blended by hand using only natural ingredients ranging from the lavender in their fields to even the honey produced within their hives. This entirely natural fragrance shines through and envelopes the user in ylang-ylang petals as well as Palmarosa mingled with pure English lavender. This beautifully captures the tranquillity of the countryside, perfectly complimenting the more sensuous vanilla and violet base notes. These small bottles of luxury embrace the purity of the countryside by remaining free from any synthetic colouring, parabens, mineral oils, sodium and lauryl sulphate.

For five generations, the Mitchell family has been farming the same 30-acre plot of land in Kent, which is known by some as “the garden of England”. During that time they’ve grown anything from strawberries to hops. In 2002 Ian Mitchell decided to try and cultivate some English lavender, and the results were of such a high quality that it inspired him and his son, Jod, to create a range of lavender-inspired products for bath and body. The selection includes shower washes, bath oils, body creams and soaps, all of which are handblended and 100% naturally perfumed. The honey used in some of the products comes directly from the estate’s hives too and all Mitchell & Peach bath products are free from; parabens, mineral oils, sodium lauryl sulphates and synthetic colouring.
