Earthbound was born in 1998 after we returned from living in Navarra northern Spain to live in Wales. I had been making herbal balms with oil, wild herbs and beeswax and came home with ideas for face creams. It all began in 1996 when Jo and her family travelled to the mountains of Northern Spain, and ended up living in a small mountain village of 20 inhabitants. Marjoram, thyme, calendula & juniper grew wild, and Jo learned to make basic macerated herbal oils and wax balms. They returned to Wales a year later, and Jo was inspired and to create a few creams, which would later develop into the full Earthbound range. She received a small grant and lots of advice from The Prince's Trust, to whom she remains eternally grateful.
