The fashion designer’s childhood, with father Sir Paul McCartney and mother Linda, was split between Sussex and Kintyre in Scotland, and she said it was where she felt ‘cleanest’ .
She told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday (31.08.22): “I think growing up in Scotland is where I felt cleanest.
“It was so natural. We were always naked. My parents didn’t even wear deodorant and yet they never smelled anything.”
The mum-of-four opened up regarding her family’s life in the countryside to promote her upcoming organic and vegan skincare range, and it was unclear if she meant ‘naked’ in terms of not wearing skincare products. beauty.
Stella launched this range when her mother Linda, who died in 1998 aged 56 following a three-year battle with breast cancer, had such an undemanding approach to skincare that Stella begged her to make up more.
Stella, who shares her children Miller, 17, Bailey, 15, Beckett, 14, and Reiley, 11, with husband Alasdhair Wills, 47, added: “I actually did her makeup She was into it, but it wasn’t an obvious presence. There’s a McCartney rose. We used to grow loads of them and my mom made essential oils out of them. There were a lot of essential oils.
“I was also pestering her to wear all the fabulous clothes she wore on tour, and her jewelry.
“She had such beautiful jewelry, but she never really wore it.”
Stella says she now listens to her children’s concerns regarding the future of the planet when it comes to launching her products.
She said: “Everything I’ve done – children’s clothes, vegan shoes, mushroom leather bags, organic and certified fabrics – has been done because I mightn’t quite find what I wanted.
“There is no other line of beauty products as clean and luxurious, with all the active ingredients, as this…to get what I want right now – pure, organic, effective – I have to shop in several lines. Whereas my line is so simple. Just three products.
“The problem is that a lot of these products are terrible for the planet. So I’m like, ‘OK, just stay out of the sun’. But then I’m like, ‘And shit, the sun is so good, so maybe just two minutes, just for the vitamin D.”
“I’ll probably end up being a very sick 80-year-old. But ideally, I’d rather not be a sucker.”
She added that her father, 80, a former Beatles singer, would “love” her new beauty line, as he “mourned my first skincare line”.
