Vegan Cold Cream & Cleansing Cloth

THE SEATED QUEEN MAKES SOOTHING + EFFECTIVE SKINCARE TAILORED TO REPLENISH SKIN AT NIGHT.

IN FEBRUARY 2020 WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST PRODUCT, THE SEATED QUEEN COLD CREAM.

OUR INTENSELY MOISTURISING CLEANSING CREAM CAN BE USED AS A MAKEUP REMOVER + CLEANSER, FACIAL OR OVERNIGHT MASK.

CREATED USING SINGLE-SOURCE, ORGANIC, TRACEABLE INGREDIENTS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, OUR VEGAN FORMULATION IS EASY TO USE + DESIGNED TO FIT INTO YOUR EVENING, HOWEVER MUCH TIME YOU CAN SPARE. WE WANT TO PROVIDE AN UNCLUTTERED + EFFECTIVE ANTIDOTE TO COMPLEX BEAUTY ROUTINES.

THE IDEA IS SIMPLE: NIGHT SKINCARE THAT COMBINES EFFECTIVE HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS WITH A MARVELLOUS SCENT CREATED USING ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS TO CALM THE BODY + MIND BEFORE SLEEP.

FOR THE NIGHT

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO OUR MIND + BODY WHILE WE SLEEP, FROM MEMORY CONSOLIDATION TO MUSCLE REPAIR. SLEEP ALSO PROMOTES SKIN CELL REPARATION + REGENERATION.
THIS PROCESS INCREASES BETWEEN 11PM + 4AM AS THE BODY FOLLOWS ITS CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. THIS IS WHY WE CREATE PRODUCTS FOR NIGHT-TIME RITUALS.

OUR PACKAGING

ALL PACKAGING, INCLUDING PACKAGING USED FOR SHIPPING + THE JAR LID, IS RECYCLABLE. WE ALSO USE RECYCLED MATERIALS TO CREATE OUR PACKAGING WHERE POSSIBLE.

WHO IS THE SEATED QUEEN

THE SEATED QUEEN, OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS CASSIOPEIA, IS A STAR CONSTELLATION IN THE NORTHERN SKY. IT IS NAMED AFTER A VAIN QUEEN IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY WHO BOASTED OF HER UNRIVALLED BEAUTY. SO NOW YOU KNOW.

THE FOUNDERS

THE SEATED QUEEN IS CREATED BY SISTERS JOSEPHINE + LIBBY BANKS, BOTH NOW BASED IN RURAL WILTSHIRE.

JOSEPHINE IS A QUALIFIED FACIAL MASSAGE THERAPIST. SHE WAS A SENIOR BUYER FOR INTERNATIONAL BRANDS INCLUDING QVC, MADE.COM + M+S FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.

LIBBY IS A JOURNALIST FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES, VOGUE, BBC + FT. SHE WORKED FOR A DECADE AT WGSN AS A CONSULTANT FOR INTERNATIONAL RETAILERS, INCLUDING GLOBAL BEAUTY COMPANIES.

TAKING STEPS TOWARDS TOTAL INCLUSIVITY IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY

EQUALITY, DIVERSITY + INCLUSION ARE VALUES THAT SIT AT THE CORE OF THE SEATED QUEEN’S PROCESSES, PRACTICES, COMPANY CULTURE + THE PRODUCTS WE CREATE.

WE BELIEVE THAT INCLUSIVITY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY TO MOVE FORWARD. ITS GATEKEEPERS MUST FULLY OPEN THE DOORS. WE ARE ALL LEARNING ABOUT DIVERSITY+ IDENTITY + THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROCESS.

THROUGH OUR ACTIONS + WORDS THE SEATED QUEEN STRIVES TOWARDS A FUTURE WHERE THERE IS NOTHING GROUNDBREAKING ABOUT INCLUSIVITY.

WE NEED TO STOP ALL OTHERING HABITS; DIVERSITY SHOULD NOT BE REDUCED TO A COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY, A COMPANY DEPARTMENT OR MARKETING CAMPAIGN. WE BELIEVE IT IS AN EVERYDAY PRACTICE. IT IS IN EVERY DECISION WE MAKE + FOREVER WILL BE EVIDENT IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

IT WOULD BE DISINGENUOUS TO SAY THAT OUR SKINCARE WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT + EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PREFERENCES WHEN IT COMES TO BEAUTY. THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY.

IF YOU HAVE DULL + DEHYDRATED SKIN THEN THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT A DOSE OF OUR COLD CREAM WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN FEEL RATHER WONDERFUL. BUT IF OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT FOR YOU, WELL THAT’S FINE TOO.

THE POINT IS THAT OUR FORMULATIONS ARE CREATED TO WORK FOR EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOUR, SEX, AGE, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION.

THE SEATED QUEEN IS NOT INTERESTED IN PROMOTING A NARROW + UNATTAINABLE VERSION OF PERFECTION.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING A SKINCARE BRAND THAT GENUINELY MAKES THE INDIVIDUAL FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHO THEY ARE + HOW THEY LOOK, ONE THAT PROMOTES HUMANITY + INCLUSIVITY.

OUR INGREDIENTS

A SKINCARE CLASSIC THAT HAS EXISTED FOR MILLENNIA, COLD CREAM IS BRILLIANTLY GENTLE, SOOTHING + VERSATILE. IN THE ERA OF COMPLEX BEAUTY ROUTINES, WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GIVE THIS CLASSIC BEAUTY HERO A 21ST CENTURY REBOOT WITH THE BEST INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE.

THE SEATED QUEEN’S CONTEMPORARY COLD CREAM IS SUPERCHARGED NOURISHING ORGANIC COLD-PRESSED + INGREDIENTS, AS WELL AS A SUBLIME SCENT BLEND STRUCTURED TO HELP RELAX + CALM BEFORE SLEEP.

ITS COOL TO THE TOUCH + UNCTUOUS CREAMY TEXTURE IS PERFECT FOR CLEANSING + REVIVING TIRED, DULL + DEHYDRATED SKIN WITHOUT CLOGGING PORES.

WE’RE PROUD OF EVERY SINGLE INGREDIENT IN OUR FORMULATION. EACH PERFORMS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN MAKING OUR COLD CREAM THE BEST IT CAN BE.
