Timotei

How it all started

• Timotei shampoo was launched in Sweden in the 1970s, and introduced to the UK & Ireland in 1983 with a promise that was revolutionary at the time. 'So mild you can wash your hair as often as you like' was loved by millions and made the brand a massive success in the late 80s.   Even now, people vividly remember the advert featuring a lady with wonderful long blonde hair walking through a sun-dappled meadow. 
• The success of shampoo led to a growing range of new formats:-   Timotei's first conditioner was launched in the UK & Ireland in 1985; a skincare range in 1988; dandruff shampoo in 1990 and "Honey & Almond Milk" formulations in 1992. 
• New lines, new packaging, and an array of new fragrances to meet a growing range of hair needs have all followed in recent years:  
• Timotei launched an extremely successful range of shampoos and conditioners for all hair types in 2002 - the "golden highlights" variant contained natural camomile extracts to bring out natural blonde tones.  
• Henna shampoo and conditioner designed to illuminate and give contrast to various shades of brown hair, followed two years later.  
• In 2006 Timotei launched 'Soft & Smooth', designed for mothers and daughters with mid-length to long hair. Timotei Soft & Smooth with Bamboo extract and Shea Butter strengthens your hair from root to tip, leaving it beautifully soft and smooth and giving it a rich, lustrous shine.
• 2008 sees Timotei go green. Now available in new look 400 ml green bottles, not only does your shampoo and conditioner go a little further, but less packaging is wasted, helping you do your bit for the environment.  Timotei has also extended its range of nature inspired products with the launch of new Timotei Softening Oatmilk & Peach.

• Timotei also turns 25 this year and to celebrate the brand has partnered with the Woodland Trust to create 25 acres of wildflowers and trees throughout the UK.  After some time, the sites bloom to create beautiful ‘Forests of Flowers’.

• In 2010 Timotei entire range has been reformulated with 100% Natural extracts to leave hair feeling & looking more healthy & beautiful. Also the brand featured iconic blonde girl in the advertising campaign – Inspired by Nature!
