HOTEL, MIKE is a world of EXPLORATION and DISCOVERY.

We are proud pioneers celebrating newness and INNOVATION, but we also draw on natural WONDERS as old as time. 

At once earthly and other-wordly, at HOTEL, MIKE you’ll find novel processes, emerging technology and INGREDIENTS you’ve never heard of (in a good way). 

HOTEL, MIKE was founded by Harriet Murphy, our metaphorical BOTANIST travelling across the world to collect RARE new specimens. We study, harness and replicate the best of nature, without depleting its resources. We exist to find new ways to interact with the planet, HARMONIOUSLY and in the spirit of ADVENTURE. 

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

At Hotel, Mike, we are committed to sustainability through innovative practices. From biotech advancements and fermentation to upcycling, cold pressing, and eco-friendly packaging, every step of our process minimizes environmental impact. Our certified CarbonNeutral factory runs entirely on renewable energy, ensuring we protect our planet while delivering high-quality products.
01.

BIOTECH

Biotechnology allows us to recreate powerful natural ingredients without negatively impacting our planet and oceans. Biotechnology uses bacteria, plant cells and yeast to produce the same properties as natural active ingredients, minimising the impact on the environment and producing actives with better quality control.
02.

FERMENTATION

Fermentation is a sustainable process to obtain large quantities of beautiful performance ingredients quickly without growing lots of crops and using less energy.
03.

UPCYCLING

Upcycling is a form of waste management, recreating value from non-commercially used ingredients or bi-products from other industries.
04.

COLD PRESS

All Hotel, Mike products have been cold pressed. Cold pressing is significantly better for the environment than heat or chemical extraction methods, as it doesn't produce chemical waste and requires less energy.
05.

PACKAGING

Hotel, Mike cartons are fully recyclable made from FSC card printed with sustainable kelp ink. The Hotel, Mike aluminium bottles infinitely recyclable.The Hotel, Mike pump is a part of the product we know we can improve, we are constantly looking at new innovation. As a brand we experimented with mono-plastic recyclable pumps, however, they weren’t reliable and kept breaking. As soon as we come across an improved solution we will be swapping out our existing pumps.
