About Us

Nature's Laboratory manufactures natural medicines and skincare products. But we're much more than just a manufacturer. We're driven by research. And alongside our links with leading universities, our team includes both PhD qualified scientists and a world-renowned expert on propolis, James Fearnley.

Based at our factory in Whitby, North Yorkshire, we operate three distinct brands. Herbal Apothecary is our herbal practitioner brand. We produce one of the largest ranges of herbal tinctures and supply whole, cut and powdered herbs to medical herbalists. BeeVital is our propolis brand, focussed on the research & development of propolis-based healthcare products. Sweet Cecily's is our natural skincare brand, producing high quality creams, lotions and balms with the absolute minimum of chemical ingredients.

With over 30 years experience in our field, Nature's Laboratory is going from strength to strength. We want to make natural healthcare accessible to all, and help consumers make informed decisions about the products they buy. We aim to work in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
