Philip Kingsley, British haircare and trichology brand with over 50 years of heritage, has joined the British Beauty Council as a Patron. The partnership marks a significant step in the brand’s continued commitment to supporting and shaping the future of the UK beauty industry.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the British Beauty Council is dedicated to addressing the sector’s shared challenges and enhancing its reputation. As the first industry-wide body committed to lobbying legislative issues with policymakers, the Council plays a vital role in uniting the industry and driving meaningful change.
Founded in 2018 by Millie Kendall, the Council has garnered widespread support from leading brands and businesses, establishing itself as a powerful, representative voice for the sector.
For Philip Kingsley, becoming a Patron reflects both its proud British heritage and its forward-looking ambition. Founded in London, the brand has long been synonymous with clinical expertise, innovation, and excellence in hair and scalp health. This milestone follows the recent appointment of CEO Joseph Grigsby in November 2025, whose vision is to reclaim Philip Kingsley’s authority in holistic hair and scalp health.
Millie Kendall OBE, CEO and Founder of British Beauty Council said: “From starting on the hairdressing floor to creating bespoke haircare products for A-listers and building a renowned family-run brand, Philip Kingsley is a true British beauty success story. We are delighted to welcome the brand to our network of Patrons and are excited to work with them to raise the reputation of the sector. There’s no denying hair and scalp care is booming, and we are thrilled to collaborate with Philip Kingsley during this period of growth.”
Joseph Grigsby, CEO of Philip Kingsley, commented: “As we enter a new chapter for Philip Kingsley, our ambition is clear: to reclaim our position as the leading authority on holistic hair and scalp health. Joining the British Beauty Council as a Patron is a pivotal step in that journey. The Council’s work in shaping policy, strengthening industry collaboration, and elevating standards aligns closely with our own values. Together, we have a powerful opportunity to help drive the industry forward, champion innovation, and ensure that hair and scalp health are recognised as essential components of overall longevity and wellbeing.”
Anabel Kingsley added: “The hair and scalp category is experiencing significant growth, yet misinformation remains widespread. As a brand grounded in trichology and clinical expertise, we feel a responsibility to help raise standards of education and understanding. Our collaboration with the British Beauty Council provides a powerful platform to champion evidence-based information, advocate for best practice, and ensure that hair and scalp health are recognised as an essential part of the wider beauty and wellbeing conversation.”
