In an age where wellness is often distilled into trends and fleeting fads, Wilder Botanics stands as a serene, grounded presence — a UK-based brand rooted in time-honoured herbalism, thoughtful formulation, and true holistic healing. But what makes Wilder Botanics even more captivating is the journey that brought it to life: one that begins on the international runways and finds its soul in the sun-drenched mountains of southern Corsica.
From Fashion to Formulation: Rachel Landon’s Evolution
Wilder Botanics co-founder Rachel Landon began her professional journey as a fashion model, navigating the high-speed, high-stress world of beauty and image. But beneath the gloss of catwalks and campaigns was a growing curiosity — a pull toward the healing properties of plants and the desire for balance amidst the chaos.
That personal search led her to study naturopathy and herbal medicine, building over 20 years of clinical practice that would later become the foundation of Wilder Botanics. Her partner and co-founder, Charlie, brought his own passion for naturally derived formulations, blending curiosity with creativity. Together, they imagined a line of products that didn’t just nourish the skin, but also spoke to the spirit.
Inspired by Nature, Guided by Ritual
Wilder Botanics is not just a skincare brand — it is a daily ritual, lovingly crafted to reconnect people with nature and themselves. Each product is born from a deep respect for botanical tradition and the healing rhythms of the Earth.
Take for example the Wild Harvested Immortelle Cleansing Oil — a hero product that encapsulates everything Wilder stands for. At its heart is Helichrysum (Immortelle), a precious oil wild-harvested from the southern mountains of Corsica, where the unique soil conditions elevate its healing potency. With only 11 kilograms produced annually, this ingredient is rare, potent, and profoundly effective — a golden thread that ties ancient earth wisdom with modern skin nourishment.
Testimonials Rooted in Experience
Wilder Botanics isn’t just appreciated for its natural ethos — it’s loved for its real results. Customers consistently praise the brand’s luxurious oils for their ability to calm, hydrate, and deeply nourish the skin.
“Luxurious oil. Wonderful. One of my favourite products from Wilder. It’s part of my bedtime routine. Leaves the skin feeling hydrated, soft and nourished.”

Such glowing feedback speaks volumes — not just about product quality, but about the emotional resonance Wilder Botanics has cultivated with its community.
