ABOUT
THE FOUNDERS
The Seated Queen is created by sisters Josephine + Libby Banks, both based in rural
Wiltshire, UK. Josephine is a trained facial massage therapist.
As someone who struggles with eczema + contact dermatitis, she knows how important it is
to create products that are soothing + gentle, as well as effective.
Libby is an journalist + consultant, who worked for more than a decade as a consultant for global retail +
beauty brands.
THE NAME
The Seated Queen – officially known as Cassiopeia – is a star constellation in the northern
sky. Cassiopeia was a vain queen in Greek mythology who boasted of her unrivalled beauty.
We love the idea of someone who is strong, but also imperfect + unpredictable. For us the
word ‘queen’ exists beyond the confines of gender, instead it represent a state of mind + a
way of doing.
