Counter Culture Store - Who Are We?

We’re an independent retail platform that’s on a mission to make it easier to shop from sustainable and ethical beauty and wellness brands.  

Brands - We’re home to over 130 brands - from iconic brands you already know and love to trending and emerging indie brands you’ve yet to discover.    

Sustainable & Ethical - We don’t believe any product is truly sustainable.  We see sustainability as a journey, not a destination.  We select brands who meet a number of criteria within our framework.  Whilst they must all be cruelty-free, they may then meet a number of the following criteria - vegan, organic, natural, plastic-free, no single-use plastics, waterless, refillable, recyclable, upcycled ingredients, female-founded, diversity-founded, societal and eco initiatives.

Female Founders - We’re advocates for Buy Women Built and we actively champion female founders.  Throughout our site you will see the Buy Women Built logo on brand pages where the brand is female founded or co-founded.   Of course we very much welcome all founders with great products onto our platform, but in recognition of the fact female founders only get circa 2p in every £1 invested by VCs in the UK, we want to champion women in business as much as possible!

Eco & Societal Initiatives - We like to play a part in people and planet initiatives and to-date have protected over 60,000 trees via our partnership with OneTribe.  We also make microloans to women in business in developing countries every month through our partnership with Kiva. 

Award-Winning  - We are very proud winners of the 2024 Marie Claire Best Multi-Brand Retailer in their iconic sustainability awards and 2023 Women & Home Best Sustainable Service.

Ambassador - We are delighted to have Oscar & BAFTA-winning hair & makeup designer  Christine Blundell as our Brand Ambassador.
