Q&A With Vegan Skincare Brand Betty Hula
Over the last year the beauty world has gone mad for cruelty free beauty.
At Taylor & Jackson we are proud to now be stocking Betty Hula skincare. These products are free from parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates and artificial colours. The Betty Hula range is good for psoriasis, eczema, scarring, stretch marks fine lines and pigmentation.
We understood that the brand believes in honest and natural beauty, so we decided to get an honest insight from Lisa at Betty Hula HQ on all things relating to the brand and what they stand for and believe in.

It would be lovely to say that we have our offices on a beach in Hawaii, but we think that our base in the North Yorkshire Moors isn’t too bad either!

Mine and my partners background in marketing/advertising came into play when we decided to create a skincare range with the positioning and creating of the brand. Our product was always going to be natural and premium quality products. We needed a differentiator to help our range standout and that’s where Betty Hula was born. The Hawaiian look and scents make our collection stand out from many others. The association of the natural good honest ingredients fitted perfectly with the Hawaiian skincare rituals.
Where did the name Betty Hula come from?
Where did the name Betty Hula come from?
The name Betty Hula came from a bottle of wine one night, (which really helps when coming up with creative thoughts). We did have the idea of ‘Betty’ as a caring Hawaiian girl who grew up being taught natural skincare recipes and traditions passed down from her relatives. She's brought over her love of all things natural to the UK, and is now spreading her lovely products and knowledge to our British ladies.
Which two Betty Hula product should everyone have in their beauty stash?
Which two Betty Hula product should everyone have in their beauty stash?
Our hand cream is a must for the handbag as it’s a dual-purpose cream that’s anti-bacterial, so saving you having to carry a bottle of anti-bac gel around with you.
The other is our Secret Oil Rollerball. It’s an award winning, highly praised, versatile and great smelling moisturising oil. It’s a great little multi-tasker, from laughter lines, to cuticles, to dry patches. It’s easy to apply using the rollerball, and has a great following of people how keep it in their pocket and bags.
Are you vegan yourself?
I try my best to be.
We understand the scents are inspired by Hawaii (at Taylor & Jackson our personal favourite is the Lime & Mango scent!), have you ever been to Hawaii?
