I’m James Dashwood Chase - and like a lot of men, I spent years running hard, not giving my skin much thought. Early mornings, late nights, burning the candle at both ends.

At some point, it catches up with you. Skin looks tired. Feels off. And most of what’s out there either overcomplicates things or doesn’t really deliver.

BAZ & CO started with a simple idea:

do the basics properly - and make it easy to stick to.

Our formulations are built around basil sourced from English vertical farms, alongside other naturally derived ingredients chosen for how they support the skin day to day.

No 10-step routines.

No overthinking it.

Just four steps, done well:

cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, protect.

It’s skincare that fits into a life already in motion - whether that’s work, travel, or time outdoors.

Give your skin what it needs.

Nothing it doesn’t.

Our hero ingredient isn't just any basil. It's grown in state-of-the-art vertical farms in England, harvested at peak potency, and processed within hours. No pesticides. No seasonal variation. Just pure, powerful botanicals that your skin will thank you for.

We extract our basil oil using traditional copper pot distillation - the same method used by master perfumers for centuries. This gentle process preserves the full spectrum of beneficial compounds that harsh industrial methods destroy. It takes longer. It costs more. Your skin knows the difference.

We believe what you leave out matters as much as what you put in. That's why every BAZ & CO product is free from parabens, sulphates, synthetic fragrances, and microplastics. Just clean, effective formulations that work with your skin, not against it.

From farm to bottle, everything happens here in the UK. Our basil is grown in England, distilled in small batches, and hand-filled at our production facility. Shorter supply chains mean fresher products and a smaller carbon footprint. Quality you can trust, craftsmanship you can feel.
