Our Deep’s brands – Deep Heat, Deep Freeze and Deep Relief – are well recognised as leaders in the topical pain relief market, which gives Mentholatum a solid foundation throughout the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East. Our wellness range including Japan’s biggest-selling skincare range Hada Labo is growing which makes this an exciting time to join Mentholatum.
From our head office just outside Glasgow, we manufacture our gels and creams, which ship to as many as 60 countries. We have a focus on new product development which allows us to make our products as sustainable as possible, while ensuring our customers experience is a priority.
We’re an ambitious team and everyone works together to drive our company values, of integrity, collaboration, and energy.
We seek to strengthen our team with passionate individuals who can constructively challenge to drive change, while building effective relationships. We aim to create a work environment that encourages cross-functional collaboration and personal accountability. We value open-mindedness, courage in upholding our beliefs, and mutual respect. We aspire to always find positive ways to progress. By embracing change, understanding different perspectives, and inspiring others, we always strive to go the extra mile.
Personal relationships form the foundation of our business. People who have strong personal values around building the right relationships will find it easy to get things done here.
Don’t expect huge resources or teams of people – we do a lot with small dedicated teams who help each other out and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
We are refreshingly different and quirky without the usual constraints of large corporate organisations, and we need people who can think of creative ways to achieve growth, overcome challenges and achieve business objectives.
Owned by global healthcare company Rohto, we specialise in improving the health and wellness of people throughout the world with effective, innovative and accessible products. Our UK site located in Scotland, is the home of the iconic Deep Heat brand. Here we develop, manufacture and market healthcare products for our UK, European, African and Middle Eastern markets.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our consumer research helps drive our passion to create and develop meaningful products and solutions using the latest ingredients, packaging and technology, while being mindful of our sustainability commitments and goals. We are specialists in muscle and joint care and Rohto are world leaders in eyecare and skincare. All our products are designed so you can feel the difference when you use them.
Life is for living and our vision is to help everyone live a healthier, happier life with respect and compassion for our environment and society.
“After a brilliant year and we’re just finalising our strategy for the next three years. This will definitely include more focus on our Middle East markets – which are growing quickly – and growing our skincare and eye care brands.
Our Deeps trio (Deep Heat, Deep Freeze and Deep Relief) are core brands for us, and maintaining our market share whilst growing new ways of developing the brands will also be key. Our parent company – Rohto Japan – has a multitude of different brands and offering across the world, and launching and developing some of these brands within our markets will also be core within our strategy. It is an exciting time for Mentholatum UK!”

As well as working in close collaboration with our clients, and the online marketplaces, we are active members of groups that have been established to combat illicit trade. These include the Scottish Anti-Illicit Trade Group, the European Intellectual Property Office, The Scottish Business Resilience Centre, the Anti-Counterfeiting Group, and the China Britain Business Council. Members of our senior management sit on the boards of ACID (Anti-Copying in Design), the Scottish Ministerial Trade Board, and the European Union Intellectual Property Office’s Observatory Panel for SMEs, amongst others.
Each team member nominates good causes or charities that are supported on both an individual and corporate basis. Wherever possible, we support the employee’s involvement whether through time or fundraising events.
We deliver purpose-driven work from an extremely welcoming environment near the City Centre. We actively encourage the responsible use of resources, from using public transport to reuse, recycling, and, of course, a minimal impact office environment. We have benefited from the advice of the Energy Saving Trust and Resource Efficient Scotland. Our waste contractor also provides us with a monthly report on volumes and types of material and the carbon emissions avoided through recycling.
Over 80% of our employees can walk or cycle to The Lair and, pre-pandemic, 10% were using public transport as their normal daily commuting mode. Without doubt, online meetings will replace considerable miles, going forward, saving resources, time and energy. Where possible, when possible, the train remains our preferred option.
Our people are our most important asset, and their mental well-being and happiness are core to our success. We love our diverse workforce, actively embrace flexible working (even pre-pandemic!) and encourage a healthy work-life balance. We have been recognised as one of the most diverse SME workplaces in the UK and are holders of the Scottish Business Pledge which exists to promote a fairer Scotland. We have also just been included in the 2021 Culture Leaders Top 25 – an accolade of which we are very proud!

We currently represent 15 nationalities and speak 20 languages. Age is no barrier, and we recruit for attitude, providing and encouraging appropriate learning and training for each and every role.
We are also proud members of IP Inclusive, a network of professionals working to make the intellectual property industry more diverse.
Our aim is to combat illicit online trade by identifying and removing counterfeits for sale. Counterfeits not only damage brands, their reputations, and revenues, but can cause significant harm to the end customer – whether as a fake toy or a fake medicine – and the consequences can be life threatening.
Counterfeiting is a significant economic and social issue.
The OECD reports that counterfeit and fake goods make up more than 3.3% of the world’s global trade. Those involved in the trade of counterfeits have been linked to people trafficking, prostitution, and drug dealing.
As such, reducing illicit trade is about much more than brand protection but also about human rights, safety, and social equity.
And this is what we do, every day.
