Sustainable Skincare Brand Joins Forces with Chester Zoo

Known for its sustainable practices and natural ingredients, Origins is a modern skincare brand founded in 1990.

Recently, the forward-thinking company formed a partnership with The Reserve at Chester Zoo to officially provide essential guest accessories for its luxury eco-friendly accommodation that is launching soon.

As part of the opulent experience it offers, The Reserve is featuring Origins rejuvenating “Peace of Mind” collection, which was created to boost comfort with a uniquely tailored blend of basil, peppermint, and eucalyptus-based essential oils. Products provided to guests will include bodywash, shampoo, conditioner and body and hand lotion. All are supplied in refillable 400 millilitre bottles to align with the Chester vacation centre’s dedication to sustainable luxury.

General Manager for The Reserve at Chester Zoo, Adriaan Erasmus, commented on the partnership:

“Origins products are created with sustainably sourced plant and earth-based ingredients and, importantly to us, free from animal-derived ingredients. The products will be available for the use of our luxury lodge guests.”

Specially selected to suit the zoo’s 51 luxury lodges, the bespoke toiletries also reflect the rich and earthy hues of Africa’s savannah that has inspired the colour palette and décor of the impeccable accommodation in Chester. The recent union is a first for Origins, as The Reserve is the only hospitality business boasting its products in the Northern hemisphere.

The Reserve at Chester Zoo will officially be open for guests to stay overnight from Monday, August 18. Its lodges are situated within the conservationist’s record-breaking Heart of Africa installation.
