Nature's Gentle Awakening
After months of development and careful formulation, Ria Harman, founder and chief botanist at Old Mill Cosmetics, is thrilled to unveil our most ambitious collection yet—the Spring Botanical Collection. This thoughtfully curated line of six products celebrates the delicate beauty and potent healing properties of wild meadow flowers and herbs.
"Spring represents renewal and gentle awakening," explains Ria Harman. "After winter's harsh grip, our skin needs the same gentle care that nature provides through her first blooms. Each product in this collection has been formulated with wild meadow botanicals that work in harmony with sensitive skin that's transitioning from winter's dormancy."

Ria Harman's Formulation Philosophy
Ria Harman's approach to formulation is rooted in traditional herbalism combined with modern understanding of skin physiology. "Each ingredient is selected not just for its individual properties, but for how it works in harmony with others," she explains. "The wild meadow flowers we've chosen—chamomile, violet, dandelion, and primrose—all share anti-inflammatory and gentle nourishing properties that complement each other beautifully."
The collection reflects Ria Harman's commitment to sustainable sourcing. All botanicals are either wildcrafted from certified organic meadows in Devon or grown in the company's own herb gardens using biodynamic principles. "We work with local farmers and foragers who share our respect for the land," notesRia Harman. "Every flower is hand-picked at the optimal time for maximum potency."
Perfect for Sensitive Skin
Winter can be particularly challenging for sensitive skin types, and Ria Harman has formulated this collection with that in mind. "After months of dry indoor air, harsh winds, and temperature fluctuations, sensitive skin needs extra gentle care," she explains. "Wild meadow flowers are naturally soothing and have been used for centuries to calm irritated skin."
"Spring is nature's gentle reminder that renewal is possible. Our Spring Botanical Collection embodies this philosophy—offering your skin the same gentle, nurturing care that helps wildflowers bloom after winter's harshness." - Ria Harman, Founder & Chief Botanist
