NYR MEN - Neal's Yard Remedies Grooming Products For Men


NYR MEN
(Neal's Yard Remedies For Men)

Check out 'Neal's Yard Remedies’ new NYR MEN range. The range encompasses the full spectrum of male grooming products, offering a choice of products to suit all requirements – be it shave care, anti-ageing or your ‘basic’ day-to-day maintenance. True to the famed NYR philosophy, each product in the range has been individually formulated with a combination of herbs and essential oils, selected specifically for their action on the skin. There is a pleasant signature fragrance that runs throughout the range – a blend of pure essential oils including bergamot, basil and coriander, to give a fresh scent. They also look great in any bathroom.


Made in England


They design, test and manufacture all their own products at their eco-headquarters in Dorset, England. It's also home to their own team of experts, who create their award-winning products in state-of-the-art labs.

Grow your own


  They do. They know the origins of all their herbs and ingredients. They grow as many as they can in their gardens in Peacemarsh, Dorset and at Sheepdrove Organic Farm on the Lambourn Downs in Berkshire.

Greener by design


Their eco-factory uses solar panels on the roof, clay flooring and high-level windows to keep cool, and uses rainwater to flush the loos! They even compost the kitchen waste, which is mostly organic, of course!

Its heyday as a spa town was to last from about 1790 to 1850s and it was during these years that many of the town's fine Regency terraces, crescents and villas were built. There is a wide range of excellent schools in Cheltenham including Cheltenham Ladies' College, Cheltenham College (co-ed), St Edwards and Dean Close. As well as superb educational facilities the town is well known for the many literary and music festivals that it holds as well as the cricket and National Hunt festivals.
