More about No Ordinary

After a childhood of eczema struggles, Gavin Taylor teamed up with his wife Jane to develop organic, skin-friendly hair and cosmetic products. The No Ordinary brand is fuelled by a shared desire to live sustainably, ethically and modestly. Family is, and always will be, at the heart of all that they do. From its beginnings in Leicestershire to its future in the French Alps, the brand will continue to take Gavin and Jane on a journey of traditional living and family values.

The No Ordinary brand was born from a need to drive home the value of natural, organic hair care and cosmetics. We believe the products people use should be of the highest quality, but affordable and ethically sourced. And we wanted to be sure that the shampoo & Conditioner we use in our own salon stem from this belief.

So we teamed up with some amazing producers to create our own brand built on positivity, quality and sustainability. A brand that helps spread the message of our philosophy – to live a life less ordinary.
