The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
No7 was founded in Britain in 1935. The brand makes skincare and cosmetics for women. Their moisturizer became the essential product. It sold in Boots chemists across the country. During the war, women bought what they could find. No7 stayed available. That mattered. Now the brand operates globally, owned by Boots. It ranks sixteenth in Beauty and Personal Care. The bottles are still simple. The work is serious. No7 remains what it was: reliable, accessible, made to be used.
