Gorgeous Cow
As Cowshed celebrates 15 years in the beauty industry we get under the skin of its director Christina Russillo to talk inspirations and aspirations

British ethos of natural and organic products made and inspired by the English countryside,’ says Russillo. ‘We were created for a spa so our products smell great and do the job – off ering comfortable luxury.’ Ever since it fi rst opened its doors in the old
cow shed at Babington House, Somerset in 1998, Cowshed has stayed true to its British Heritage, drawing inspiration for all its scents, colours, botanical ingredients and herbal remedies from the English country garden.

inspired by a variety of things, everything from the walled garden at Babington [House], to the team members that produce it, to the needs of our customers.
