About St Ives
St. Ives is an iconic skincare brand founded by the Iverson family in California, best known for creating the world-famous Apricot Scrub in the early 1980s. By the mid-1990s, the St. Ives Apricot Scrub had become a bathroom staple for millions, renowned for its ability to exfoliate dead skin cells and leave skin with a radiant, glowing complexion. The brand was acquired by Unilever in 2010, bringing St. Ives into one of the world's largest consumer goods portfolios alongside brands like Dove and Simple. In 2014, Unilever transitioned all St. Ives products away from plastic scrub beads in response to microplastic concerns, replacing them with natural exfoliating ingredients such as apricot kernels, cornmeal, ground pumice, silica, and walnut shells. The St. Ives UK range includes: - **Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub**: Targets blemishes while exfoliating with apricot kernel powder - **Blemish Control Apricot Face Scrub**: Daily exfoliation for clearer skin - **Even & Bright Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Scrub**: Brightening formula with citrus extracts In 2024, design agency Sunhouse refreshed the St. Ives brand identity and packaging, reconnecting with its California origins while maintaining the natural ingredient heritage that made the brand famous.
