Meet Ann Mason, the owner of No Frills Cosmetics based in Liskeard, Cornwall.


Tell us about your brand

"My brand is ‘no frills’ as the name suggests. It does not have expensive labelling or packaging. My aim is to provide a quality product at a reasonable price."


"My moisturisers are certified animal free by Vegan Med which is a Californian company run by Pharmacists. We connected through the Pharmaceutical Industry. I am a Pharmacy Technician by profession."


What type of products do you sell?


"My core business is natural moisturiser which is formulated for dry, sensitive and problem skin. I currently have a balm undergoing safety assessment."


"My rose geranium moisturiser won a bronze award last year 2022 in the ‘Free From Skincare Awards’. I am entering my natural moisturiser (no essential oil) this year."


Why did you start the brand?


"This venture started when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Whilst undergoing chemotherapy I was advised not to use any products on my skin that contained perfumes as my skin would be very sensitive. Being naturally inquisitive I researched as much as I could and became aware that some ingredients used in products used on the skin can be absorbed, and I came to the conclusion that ‘natural’ products would be best for me. Natural substances being of botanical, mineral or animal origin."


"There are a lot of natural products on the market but they are often expensive. Having been involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing for over 30 years I had a light bulb moment and thought I can make that myself."
