Found in the Highlands of Scotland, rowan berries often the last plants to be found high up on a mountain path and are traditionally known for their resilience and endurance of harsh environments.

In Scottish folklore rowan berries have been used for millennia to ward off evil spirits and enchantment. Now we use natural rowan berry vitamin C to ward off the daily stresses and free radicles our skin faces.

At Napiers both rowan and heather are plants close to our family’s heart. Duncan Napiers’ sons, Walter and Duncan Jr, would spend days wandering in the highlands collecting herbs for our remedies.

Duncan Jr recalls in his memoir "memorable days” of finding the most glorious specimen of lucky bell white heather and such was it beauty that he and Walter resolved to leave it in situ for the next forager to find.

Rowan berries are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and have anti-inflammatory properties which, when combined, help to give you a radiant glow. This makes them an excellent natural skincare ingredient. Lean more about them here.

The Rowan Moisture Formula is enriched with shea butter, macadamia oil, and squalane, which lock in hydration without heaviness. This nourishing base supports the skin barrier while giving a smooth, supple feel.


Lion’s Mane mushroom, Scottish seaweeds, and speedwell extract are blended to support skin renewal, firmness, and elasticity. With regular use, fine lines and wrinkles appear softened, and the skin looks healthier and more resilient.
