That's because an awful lot of us are Molton addicts and our bathrooms are filled with our favourite MB products.

The chances are you were introduced to the British company when you stayed in a up-market hotel, visited a spa or travelled with a prestigious airline. All the best places in the world tend to use Molton Brown products because while they might be a bit more expensive than your run-of-the-mill face/body and home products, they ooze style, glamour and luxury and promote a feeling of well being.

Ask fans what they love most about them and they are likely to say "fabulous products that do what they say they will" or "lovely, natural products that work and smell divine". The one drawback is that many believe they are not readily available on every high street.

The company is doing its best to rectify that situation and has chosen Halifax as one if its starting points. Molton Brown products went on sale this month at Harvey's department store and staff can't believe the response. "We've been trying to get Molton Brown in for some time and are ecstatic we have finally succeeded.

"Products have been flying off the shelves which proves there is definitely a demand in Calderdale for them," says Sue Harvey.

The history of Molton Brown is a interesting one. Think back to the 1970s and lava lamps, man-made fibres and disco. Britain was in love with synthetics but then Molton Brown opened its ground-breaking hair salon in South Molton Street, Mayfair, London, and introduced la natural, which was an instant hit.

The first retail products were hand-mixed upstairs from nettles and camomile and decanted by hand into glass bottles.

The company started making plant-based make-up, body, skin and grooming products to go with its hair range and the salon evolved into the first Molton Brown emporium. By the 1980s top-end stores, airlines and hotels in cities around the world were stocking products. Liberty's of London invited Molton Brown to be its first cosmetic brand.

By the late 1990s Molton Brown notched up another first when it became the first cosmetics company to sell products on-line, and by 2000 had expanded into new territories opening in France and Germany. Products are now sold in America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.

Molton Brown Men was introduced in 2002 followed by a home and travel collection. Last year the company returned to its roots with the introduction of Molton Brown hair: a 14-piece range promising nourishment and shine.

Harvey's are stocking some of the hair range along with bath and body products for women, products for men and candles. Prices start at £14.
