THE ALCHEMIST SPA

our ethos: derived from nature

We stay clear of nasty chemicals and parabens, using products that are as natural as they can be, nourishing your skin with lots of natural loveliness. Age, gender, race, religion, genetic predisposition or nutritional preference: our treatments really are for Every Body.

All our products are cruelty-free and most are vegan. 

We are proud to work with:
+ Natural Spa Factory
+ Dolly Lemon
+ Jennifer Young
+ The GelBottle Inc & Peaccci
Each of our spa partners has been handpicked, with the love and care your body deserves.

We care about...
SK:INCLUSIVITY gender neutral

Thinking outside the gender box, our spa experiences are designed for your skin type, not your chromosomes. They embrace you, regardless of your gender. All our treatments, apart from 'I Am: Woman' and 'I Am: Man' are gender neutral.

CRUELTY-FREE feel-good with a conscience

All our skincare is Cruelty Free, and is never tested on animals. Our partners care about their impact on natural habitats. Natural Spa Factory, for example, do not use Palm Oil. Some sources quote that areas of rain forest equivalent to the size of 5 football pitches disappear every minute due to palm oil cultivation, and we cannot let this be the price of our relaxation.

EVERY BODY new life to midlife

We are passionate about spa experiences that can be enjoyed whatever your age or life stage. From hormonal teen skin, dealing with PMT, pregnancy specific skincare to celebrating the menopause – it’s all here.

NATURAL GOODNESS back to basics

Here at Woolacombe Bay we’re just a hop, skip, and a jump from the North Atlantic Ocean. It's important to us that none of the ingredients used in our treatments will filter into the eco system. All Natural Spa Factory products are free from Parabens, SLS, MI or MCI, and Microbeads.

VEGAN SKINCARE natural beauty

If you’re vegan, you’ll understand how little effort has been made with vegan spa treatments. Especially in the mainstream. Unfortunately, we can’t quite commit to all our beauty and spa products being vegan - but most of them are. We want you to feel at ease visiting, knowing you won’t accidentally use something that’s against your philosophy, so we’ll always be very clear on what is, and what isn’t, vegan-friendly.
