“The Bloom journey began in 1993 when Natalie Bloom started selling greeting cards and gift ideas that she made from her parent’s home. “When I started out, I didn’t have a long term strategy,” explains Natalie. “I simply created quality products that I was passionate about and that had a strong design sensibility.”
Natalie’s love of natural ingredients and obsession with packaging soon turned a hobby into a business and consequently a brand. Following the success of her gift collection, Bloom’s product range grew to include Essential Oil Blends, Massage Oils and an Aromatherapy Lip Balm. Lip products then led to Eye products and soon a full cosmetics line was on the horizon.
Seventeen years on, Bloom’s range has swelled to feature over 300 products including colour cosmetics, skincare and a bath and body range. From Bangkok to London and Beverly Hills, Bloom is now an internationally recognised brand that is stocked across the globe.”

“Both men and women are now placing a strong importance of good skin nutrition combined with a good skin care routine. You should also always ask advice on your diet and lifestyle when treating your skin.
By removing toxins and bringing balance to your diet, combined with a personally designed Che Skincare routine, you will achieve that sort-after healthy glow.
Also, a Che Skincare treatment is a lifestyle change not just a quick fix. Individual treatments will be designed for you and your needs, with step by step instructions and advice. You will start by completing a detailed questionnaire, have a deep discussion about your skincare goals, and have a full skin evaluation, followed by a treatment and if needed design a personalized skin care plan. At Che Skincare we don’t just treat the symptom but look at the whole problem.”
