Seven balms. One base. Six Japanese essential oils.
Each balm is made in the Cotswolds with the same moisturising base. Original is unscented; the others each use one essential oil sourced from Japan.

Two places that are part of my life.
I grew up in Hiroshima, Japan, and have lived in Britain for more than twenty years. Today I live in the Cotswolds. Wisteria Hill Botanicals brings those two parts of my life together: simple botanical balms made here in small batches, with distinctive essential oils sourced from Japan.
