The Bath-born skincare secret for midlife skin goes national
Featured Content
The British luxury skincare landscape is witnessing a significant milestone as Thirns, a female-founded botanical brand, officially launches its dedicated e-commerce platform.
The move celebrates a successful one-year residency at the prestigious Spa Village Bath, located within the five-star Gainsborough Bath Spa. This digital expansion now brings Thirns’ handcrafted, professional-grade formulas to customers nationwide across the UK.
Clinical Expertise Meets Botanical Power
Thirns is the brainchild of Olga Brennand, a highly respected skincare therapist and clinician. Drawing on her deep expertise and memberships in both the Guild of Therapy Lecturers and the Guild of Beauty Therapists, Brennand conceived the brand specifically to address the unique needs of midlife skin.
The brand’s philosophy centres on “skincare in rhythm with nature.” Its formulations harness the restorative properties of wild British thorn-bearing plants to restore balance, resilience, and vitality. Every product is meticulously handcrafted in small batches within Olga’s laboratory in Bath, ensuring that each bottle maintains maximum potency and freshness.
A Spa-Tested, Simplified Ritual
Thirns’ reputation was forged through professional use. Its formulas were refined and perfected through the signature Thirns facial at the Gainsborough Bath Spa, where they gained a loyal following among discerning spa-goers. The spa manager at the Gainsborough noted that the brand’s commitment to British craftsmanship aligns perfectly with their approach to luxury wellbeing, making the facial a “guest favourite.”
To achieve optimal results at home, the brand offers a streamlined, clinically approved four-step system:
- Botanical Cleansing Balm: Infused with rosehip and juniper.
- Firming Emulsion: Featuring the essence of rose from Damas.
- Eye Cream: Powered by tuberose.
- Energising Serum Mist: A refreshing blend of apothecary rose and seaweed.
Poised for National Growth
For founder Olga Brennand, the launch of the online store is the natural progression of a brand that has proven its efficacy in one of the UK’s most prestigious spa environments. “Our partnership with the Gainsborough Bath Spa has offered us an incredible opportunity to test and perfect our formulations,” says Brennand. “We are truly excited to take this next step and officially launch our brand nationally.”
As Thirns moves from the thermal waters of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath into homes across the country, it remains a beacon of British-made luxury for those seeking a thoughtful, science-backed approach to midlife skincare.
