Clara Challoner Walker

Founder Cosy Cottage Soap Factory

A chemistry graduate from Imperial College, Clara became a corporate banking professional. After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 and becoming aware of the harmful ingredients in everyday bathing and skincare products, Clara sought to develop natural and environmentally friendly alternatives in the kitchen of her 350-year-old cottage.

She left the corporate world and turned Cosy Cottage into a thriving online business, with a busy store and workshop in North Yorkshire that offers spa treatments, candle making courses and yoga retreats. Cosy Cottage also makes white label products for brands such as Navy Professional, which are sold across the UK and beyond.
