British spa and skincare brand Moss of the Isles has partnered with luxury five-star London hotel The Berkeley to host a three-month spa and wellness residency.

Starting 1 March, the hotel’s Bamford Wellness Spa menu will be updated with three of Moss’ signature massages as well as a premium face and body ritual. The retail boutique will also stock a selection of Moss’ vegan and cruelty-free skincare and wellbeing products.

Described as a celebration of nature, Moss was created to honour the wild heritage of Ireland and the British Isles.

The collection is crafted with the help of local, small-batch harvesters who sustainably source active, raw ingredients like moss, peat, rosemary, Scottish dulse seaweed and heather.

“Partnering with The Berkeley is a wonderful way to begin our UK relaunch and showcase the best of what we’ve created after five years’ work,” said Nigel Franklyn, Moss co-founder, spa consultant and The Spa Whisperer.

“It’s an opportunity for us to share our story and our passion for creating therapeutic and sustainable wellness solutions,” he adds.

“Bringing Moss to The Berkeley gives us a wonderful opportunity to introduce our brand to a new audience.

“The Berkeley is such an iconic hotel and we feel it shares our ethos of celebrating the heritage of Ireland and the British Isles.”

The partnership will run until 31 May 2022.

Moss treatments launching at The Berkeley
– Quiet Time // 60 minutes (£150, US$203, €177)
A massage designed to help find a moment of deep silence and solitude to relieve stress, increase self-awareness and provide a space for reflection.

Relaxing oils of lavender, myrtle and bergamot combine with nerve soothing massage strokes and a gentle warm cocoon to guide guests to a moment of silence.

– Body Cleanse // 60 minutes (£150, US$203, €177)
A treatment to reset the body through a cleansing massage to regain energy, relieve stagnation, release toxins and improve skin tone.

The ritual commences with body brushing and lymphatic movements to increase blood and lymphatic flow. An aromatherapy blend including grapefruit, juniper berry, lemon and infused with Welsh horse chestnut conkers is used to massage the entire body, including abdominal manipulation to encourage detoxification.

– Warm Element // 60 minutes (£150, US$203, €177)
Relaxing warmth, motion and tissue movement are incorporated into this full-body massage to help improve flexibility, aid recovery, target muscle release and reduce tension and stress.

Relax and release stretching techniques are applied throughout, using a warming synergy blend of essential oils, and infused with pain-relieving Arnica.

– Moss Signature Face and Body Wellness Experience // 90 minutes (£195, US$264, €230)
A full-body experience crafted to achieve wellness through physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Therapists start the ritual with breathing exercises to help reduce anxiety and stress, while naturally increasing energy. The skin is prepared with a whole-body exfoliation with sea salt, dulse and an awakening blend of black mitcham peppermint, lemon basil and English lavender. A combination of marigold and shea butter is then used to moisturise the skin.

To complete the experience, the face is gently cleansed and a facial Gua Sha massage technique is used to increase circulation and promote lymphatic drainage for a toned, even complexion.
