I’ve been lucky enough to work in the fascinating world of Cosmetics and Fragrances almost all my career. From early days training in perfumery evaluation, where I worked for a Fragrance house in Grasse in the South of France to developing bespoke products for niche brands here in the UK. Throughout this time I was always keen to learn how everything was made and to expand my knowledge, combining this with a natural love of crafting which I developed as a child forever making things from cast off bits and pieces.
All of this has come together later in my career as an opportunity to write books and to teach classes in Natural Skincare and Candle Making, based around my Handmade Beauty and Handmade Spa illustrated books. The books also acted as a springboard to creating my own Collection of natural skincare and home fragrance products in 2018, appropriately called Handmade by Juliette Several years on, you can now find those early ideas augmented by many more on this website.
In addition I have joined up with some wonderful stockists, both locally in East Sussex where I live and further afield. Here you will find all my books, including Hand Made Spa, joining Handmade Beauty which has become an international success and is currently sold in 8 languages. As well as my first book Junk Genius which encourages everyone to have a go at upcycling and crafting with many different materials. It’s great when people message me on Instagram to let me know what they have made.
