Molton Brown

History

The year was 1973. Molton Brown opened at 58 South Molton Street in London's Mayfair as a hair salon. The salon's name paid homage to the location and the company set out to be unique from the start. But here came Molton Brown: soft, individual and Natural with a capital N. The salon became a hit and it didn't stop at that. The first retail products were hand-mixed upstairs from nettles and camomile; Dale Daxon Bowers joined the team in 1978 fresh from Mary Quant cosmetics, and set to work in a makeshift lab in the kitchen above Browns boutique. By the 1980s the salon had evolved into the Molton Brown emporium where Dale's plant-based make-up, hair, body, skin and grooming products were sold to those in the know. You can now experience our creations in more than 70 countries world-wide, in our own emporium, spas, and online and in the world's leading luxury hotels and airlines. Welcome to today's Molton Brown.
