MOLTON BROWN - Elsenham, Hertfordshire

The Heritage: Established on South Molton Street, London in 1971, the brand transitioned into luxury bathing products. Despite now being owned by the Kao Corporation, manufacturing remains anchored at their historic Hertfordshire facility.

The Verdict: While it operates on a multinational scale, Molton Brown warrants inclusion for continually investing in its UK production base. It remains a reliable domestic source for premium, vegetarian-friendly bathing fragrances that support UK manufacturing jobs.

Core Products: Bath and shower gels, Eaux de Parfum, candles and hand care.
