Global Excellence Awards 2025

28 | LUXlife Magazine Best Organic Luxury Skincare Manufacturer 2025 – Scotland The idea that products should not have to come wrapped in newspaper to be truly environmentally friendly and cruelty free is what guides Leon Luxury, a manufacturer of luxury products specialising in skincare items for the face, eyes, and body. Offering a safe, comprehensive product line of items dermatologically tested by independent and certified UK/EU laboratories – its ingredients are traceable right to the source – Leon Luxury sets a precedent in both the natural and the luxury spheres. We caught up with the brand’s own Ella Minty for more on the back of its recognition with this award. Leon Luxury’s affinity for the lavish has permeated this Scottish skincare manufacturer at every level, beginning with the colour scheme of black and gold used across the recyclable and reusable packaging each of its items comes wrapped in. This, of course, is just the beginning, as the brand also handles every aspect of packaging, artwork, and product manufacturing in-house, ensuring every customer receives something special and reflective of the dual aim of luxury and nature strived for across every element of its operation. Guided by the noble mission of making luxury skincare affordable for every budget – seen through the unofficial brand motto of less is more – Leon Luxury allows everyone to enjoy the luxury of nature through its products. The brand’s commitment to accessibility is seen further through its commitment to using no water across its line, which is often not the case for those more mainstream manufacturers. Water means preservatives, and these can be harmful for those tackling sensitive, problem, or generally dry skin. The purity these products offer as a result sees them last much longer than their conventional counterparts, and a small drop of them can more than go the distance for the user. Take, for example, the 50g Face and Eye Elixirs that are one of Leon Luxury’s leading products. Just three or four of these jars can last upwards of a year, which is incredibly convenient. However, it is not just product purity and convenience that has ensured Leon Luxury’s frontrunner status, as it also prides itself on balancing the bespoke with the multi-purpose. Exploring this in more detail, Ella told us: “Innovation to us starts with attempting to create a combination between bespoke and multi-purpose, thus minimising the requirements for a ‘shopping bag’ of products, one for each area/condition.” A great example of this is the Leave-On Exfoliating Body Butter offered by Leon Luxury, which – as its name suggests – doubles as both an exfoliator and a no-rinse body butter. Beyond this, it has also proven effective in alleviating symptoms during eczema/psoriasis flare-ups. Ella continued: “One of our best-selling products – the Bee Bliss – is multi-purpose: it can be used on very dry and rough skin patches such as cracked heels and hand calluses but, also, it can also be used as an overall foot and hand elixir. It is also ideally suited for sore bunions and minor cuts (especially paper cuts or nail file cuts) which are stubborn to heal.” What makes products such as the Bee Bliss even more impressive is that they can also be used on children aged three and above, again highlighting this natural ethos. The magic of all of this happens in Leon Luxury’s little workshop in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with this location up north putting the brand a little closer to nature and its miracles. Products are made in small batches at this workshop, thus ensuring the quality, consistency, and uniquity the brand has become known for. On the back of this, and in addition to all of the challenges faced by other small businesses in the UK relating to issues such as taxation, the main challenge for Leon Luxury is to encourage people to back using pure ingredients. Immense growth potential is therefore something that has been on the cards for Leon Luxury for a while, and the brand has already received two exclusive distribution offers across international markets for its products. As it chooses a partner to take its operation worldwide, keeping the strength of its character intact is the main concern, not to mention preserving its small manufacturing operation so that it never operates as a ‘factory’ in the traditional sense – pumping out products as quickly and cheaply as possible for profit. As we take our first steps into a year that will see Leon Luxury expand its product line to encompass lip balms, deodorants, and perhaps even a perfume based on a 3,000-year-old mix of essential oils, it is our pleasure to recognise this manufacturer of natural luxury products as the Best Organic Luxury Skincare Manufacturer 2025 – Scotland here in this programme.
