Philip Kingsley, the globally recognised authority in trichology and hair and scalp health, is proud to announce its new retail partnership with John Bell & Croyden, one of the United Kingdom’s most historic and respected pharmacies.
Established in 1798 on London’s Oxford Street, John Bell & Croyden has played a pioneering role in shaping pharmacy as a profession in the UK. Founded by John Bell and later advanced by his son Jacob Bell—who established the Pharmaceutical Society in 1841 and launched The Pharmaceutical Journal—the retailer has long been synonymous with trusted, science-led healthcare solutions.
This new partnership marks a significant milestone for Philip Kingsley as it continues to expand its presence within premium retail environments aligned with its clinical heritage. Both brands share a rich history rooted in British family enterprise, making the collaboration a natural fit.
As consumer awareness around hair and scalp health continues to grow, so too does demand for expert-led, results-driven solutions. Increasingly, shoppers are turning to pharmacy retailers for products that combine scientific credibility with proven efficacy—particularly when addressing concerns such as hair loss, and scalp conditions.
Philip Kingsley, widely credited with pioneering the concept of treating the scalp as an extension of the skin, is at the forefront of this movement. Its approach to the “skinification” of hair care—utilising high-performance, clinically backed ingredients—resonates strongly with today’s informed consumer, who seeks targeted treatments grounded in expertise.
Joseph Grigsby, CEO at Philip Kingsley, commented:
“We are incredibly proud to partner with John Bell & Croyden, a retailer that represents the very best of British pharmaceutical heritage. As a brand founded on trichological expertise, it is important for us to be present in environments where consumers actively seek trusted, science-led solutions. This partnership allows us to bring our clinically proven hair and scalp treatments to a highly engaged audience who value efficacy and credibility.”
Alexander Johnston, General Manager at John Bell & Croyden, added:
“Philip Kingsley is a natural addition to our curated portfolio of expert-led brands. With increasing consumer focus on scalp health and hair wellness, their clinically grounded approach and trichological authority align perfectly with our commitment to offering trusted, results-driven solutions. We are delighted to introduce the range to our customers.”
