Molton Brown is an independent company.

British luxury fragrance and lifestyle beauty brand co-founded in London in 1971 by Caroline Burstein and Michael Collis, initially blending haircare products by hand above a salon on South Molton Street in Mayfair. Molton Brown built its identity around exotic, botanically inspired fragrances and a rigorous no-animal-testing stance, expanding from haircare into body wash, body lotion, bath oils, hand care, and home fragrance. The brand is distributed through its own boutiques, luxury department stores, five-star hotels and travel retail globally, and is positioned as an accessible luxury brand with strong gifting credentials. Kao Corporation acquired Molton Brown in 2005. Products are made in England.
