About Us

Hello and welcome to Andrea Garland. We’re an independent, women-led British beauty brand, founded in 2010 with a love of beautiful things, thoughtful skincare and a rather healthy obsession with vintage.

Our story began with a little market stall on Brick Lane, East London, where we filled vintage tins with our handmade lip balm. It was a wonderfully simple idea – giving old, beautiful things a new purpose – and it proved to be the launch pad for Andrea Garland. From there, we began creating our own signature collection of refillable mirrored compacts, inspired by the vintage treasures we loved.

We still fill vintage tins with lip balm today, but now it’s a special tradition we bring back from October through till Christmas.

Our philosophy remains much the same: make beautiful, useful things that are kind to your skin and kinder to the planet. We formulate our lip balms (and a tiny range of skincare) in small batches using carefully chosen ingredient and our refillable compacts are designed to be treasured, collected and refilled rather than thrown away.

Our vintage-inspired designs, whimsical illustrations and beautifully tactile packaging are all part of the fun. And behind it all, Andrea Garland remains a small, independent business – created, run and cared for by women, with a little help from my very obliging husband!
