A NORTH Yorkshire herbalist has launched her own skin care range as part of a business named after her two children.

Jennifer Feltham, from Ripon, has set up Mia & Dom Organic Skin care, specialising in handmade herbal products for mothers and babies.

The business grew from Mrs Feltham’s desire to use only natural products on her own children, Mia and Dominic.

She said: “I have been making what my father dubbed ‘lotions and potions’ since the age of eight and I have always had a passion for natural medicine and herbal products. This led me to gain experience and qualifications in herbal medicine and aromatherapy.

“As a result I started creating soothing creams and balms in my own kitchen, and once I had perfected them, the time was right to launch Mia & Dom Skin care.”

Mrs Feltham formerly worked for professional services firms Deloitte and Addleshaw Goddard in Leeds.
