OUR FOUNDER

A Physiologist with a background in Pharmacology, Rachel Williams BSc(Hons), MSc(Dist) studied at both the University of Nottingham and the University of Wales, before beginning a successful 10 year career within academia.

Her published research primarily focussed on the physiological & neuroendocrine effects of exercise, stress and climate on the skin & body and led to research consultancy & support roles for Team GB spanning 3 Olympic Games.

 

With her unique understanding of how the skin responds & adapts to environmental challenges over time, her passion for beauty, travel & adventure, Rachel was inspired create Albus & Flora, following her time skiing in the French Alps – seeing first hand the acute & chronic damage UV could cause on un-protected lips.

A speaker at the UK’s scientific FACE Aesthetics Conference, and a long time member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, Rachel’s passion for combining natural botanicals and high potency cosmeceutical, science backed actives is at the heart of the brand.

“Lips are so often left out of the anti-ageing and UV safety conversation – we exist to change this, to simply make lip care better. To create targeted cosmeceutical solutions which protect, nourish, hydrate & treat the delicate lip skin, with its unique anatomy & physiology”
