James Dashwood Chase is the ‘skincare farmer’ and founder of men’s natural skincare brand, ‘Baz & Co’. The ‘Baz’ is short for the hero ingredient basil, which is grown indoors in vertical farms and uses 95% less water than traditional farms. It can also be grown year round without chemicals and pesticides. The 3 step body wash, cleanser/exfoliator and moisturiser are the debut launches from ‘Baz & Co’ and, as James explains in the podcast, there will be new products very soon.

The company's innovative methods are clearly making the industry sit up and take notice. Baz & Co were recently awarded a place on this year’s coveted ‘Brands of Tomorrow’ programme by British luxury trade organisation, Walpole. It’s a brand very much at the forefront of where beauty and skincare are heading - natural ingredients grown sustainably - and one that makes us think about what we’re putting on our faces, in the same way that we think about what we eat. As Baz & Co put it so succinctly, ‘From farm to face!’
