The Family, the Passion & the Story Behind KBIV London
Kelly Boswell | Founder of KBIV London
Behind every independent business is a story, and ours begins with family, passion, determination and a dream to create something truly special.
Hello, I’m Kelly Boswell, a British entrepreneur, mum of two wonderful boys, Kyiran and Kayson, and the proud founder of KBIV London, our family-run, natural skincare brand based in Farnham, Surrey.
Alongside my husband Dean, I’ve been building a brand that represents so much more than beautiful skincare. For us, KBIV London is about family, love, confidence, self-care and creating something meaningful that we can one day pass down to our children.
How It All Began
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for creating something of my own. But becoming a mum gave that ambition an entirely new meaning.
As a mum to two autistic boys, family life has taught me so much about patience, determination, individuality and the importance of creating a world where everyone feels comfortable, confident and accepted.
I wanted to build something that reflected those values. Something that wasn’t just another skincare brand, but something personal, something created with genuine love and care.
And that’s where KBIV London began.
What started as an idea quickly became a passion for developing beautiful, nourishing body butters using carefully selected ingredients, from rich shea and mango butters to beautiful natural oils.
I wanted products that felt luxurious, melted beautifully into the skin and made everyday self-care feel like a little moment of happiness.
Today, our collections include everything from our much-loved Kids & Cubs range to our Original, Spa, Men’s and specialist skincare collections.
Every product is developed with thought, care and a genuine passion for what we do.
More Than Just a Skincare Brand
One of the things I love most about running KBIV London is meeting people.
Whether I’m standing at one of our local markets, chatting to customers at an event, working with another family business or packing an order, I genuinely love the personal connections that come with what I do.
I’m not someone who wants to build a faceless, corporate brand.
I want people to know who’s behind their products. I want customers to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing their experiences and becoming part of our journey.
There’s nothing more rewarding than someone coming back to tell me how much they love one of our creams, or seeing another independent business believe in what we’re creating.
Those little moments mean everything to me.
Meet Dean – My Husband & Business Partner
Of course, none of this journey would be quite the same without my husband, Dean.
Dean is not only my husband and the father of our two beautiful boys, but also my partner in KBIV London.
While I’m very much the creative force behind the brand, from developing our products and collections to building relationships and growing the business, Dean is an important part of our journey.
We’re a family team, and that’s exactly how we want KBIV London to feel.
We love attending events together, meeting customers and watching something we’ve created grow into a business we’re both incredibly proud of.
Building Something for the Future
For me, success has never been just about selling products.
It’s about building something that lasts.
Something my children can look back on and feel proud of. Something that shows them that with determination, hard work and belief in yourself, it’s possible to turn an idea into something wonderful.
We’re still growing, still learning and still dreaming big.
From our home in Surrey to seeing KBIV London products stocked in independent businesses and enjoyed by families across the country, every new milestone is incredibly special to us.
And the most exciting part? I truly believe we’re only just getting started.

You’re supporting a family, a dream and a little business with very big ambitions.
