Heckfield House, home of Wildsmith Skin

Introducing Wildsmith Skin and Kim Cochrane

Created by a small team of like-minded individuals passionate about skin health, and with nature as their foundation, Wildsmith Skin works with scientists, innovators, growers, practitioners, educators, formulators and experts to create clinically proven natural skincare.


They use the latest plant derived bioactives, botanicals and minerals combined with targeted delivery systems to give clinically proven results. What more could you ask for?


With aligning ethos's and philosophies to work with you to help you achieve your best skin health and empower individuals to live healthier and more connected lives, Pfeffer Sal has stocked Wildsmith Skin for over two years and what a partnership it's been!


Today, we hear from Kim Cochrane, Head of Education for Wildsmith Skin and find out a bit more about their impressive product lineup and why we love them so much.

We’ve been working together for the last 2.5 years, can you tell us a little bit about what drew you to our clinic?

"Pfeffer Sal is a such a renowned and highly respected brand within our industry and we were immediately struck by your dedication to blending natural ingredients with cutting-edge technology. 


Your ethos aligns perfectly with ours—prioritising efficacy, sustainability, and well-being of skin. We were drawn to your commitment to personalised skincare, ensuring that every treatment and product recommendation is tailored to each guests unique needs. This philosophy resonates deeply with our own approach at Wildsmith, making our partnership a natural fit from the start.


Your team are also so dedicated, for example when we first met you asked for samples of our Cleansing Balm so that every single one of your therapists could try the product, and the same with the next product. I respected the care that went into you selecting the partners, making sure your team of highly respected practitioners were convinced by the performance of the products, and we now have the majority of our skincare within your clinic!"

What is it about Wildsmith skincare that makes it so special?

"Wildsmith Skin is deeply rooted in nature, science, and craftsmanship and our formulations are not only powered by some of the finest natural and lab-grown ingredients , but they’re also backed by rigorous clinical and consumer trials. 


What truly sets us apart is our commitment to responsibility and sustainability —every product is designed to deliver visible results while also respecting the environment. We use botanical ingredients that are responsibly sourced, and our focus on skin health goes beyond the surface, aiming for long-term improvement and resilience thanks to our lab-grown formulations. This commitment to quality, sustainability, and efficacy is what makes Wildsmith truly special!"

You talk about continually adapting and healing. Could you tell us about the first ever Wildsmith product, and how you’ve improved/adapted it over the years?

"Our very first skincare product was the Active Repair Copper Peptide Cream


It was developed to address multiple signs of aging and to support the skin’s natural repair processes. Over the years, we’ve continued to refine this product by incorporating the latest advancements in skincare science. For example, we’ve enhanced the formula with more potent botanical extracts and optimised the delivery of active ingredients to ensure they penetrate deeper into the skin. 


We also continually review and update the sustainability of our packaging and sourcing practices, ensuring that our products are as kind to the planet as they are to the skin."

Here at Pfeffer Sal, we love to combine natural ingredients with our top-notch technology. Could you tell us more about your innovative delivery systems?

"At Wildsmith we use delivery systems that transport a precise ingredient dosage, to a specific part of the skin at the best time of day. We have two examples below for you from our collection:


  • Time-Release Pre-Serum Drops contains encapsulated Vitamin C, the skin’s natural enzymes will breakdown the encapsulation allowing small traces of the Vitamin C to be absorbed into the skin throughout the day.

  • Active Repair Copper Peptide Cream transports copper ions directly into the skin’s deeper layers, where they support collagen and elastin synthesis and boost hydration. These smart peptides also signal to the skin to regenerate damaged cells."

Finally, we’re a nosey bunch here at Pfeffer Sal, and we want to know what is your Wildsmith skincare routine?

"Everyone’s skin is different, but for me personally, I cleanse every evening with Active Repair Nourishing Cleansing Balm, I love how this melts away my make-up, dirt grease and oil from my skin as well as a sensorial experience for my mind from the blend of essential oils. 


I follow this with an application of Time-Release Pre-Serum Drops , Active Repair Copper Peptide Serum and rich layer of Active Repair Copper Peptide Cream."
