Where It All Began - Gingingers !

UK's Best and Award Winning Family-Led Skincare Manufacturing Brand

Hi, I'm Tina, founder of GinGingers.

People often ask me where the name GinGingers came from.

The truth is, it didn't start with a business plan, a laboratory, or a marketing strategy.

It started with my daughter. A curious little redhead with endless questions, a big imagination, and a habit of wanting to help with absolutely everything. We spent hours around our kitchen table mixing ideas, testing ingredients, making notes... and, if I'm being honest, making quite a bit of mess too.

She wasn't trying to create a natural skincare brand. She was simply spending time with her mum.

Her nickname was "GinGinger."

One day she even drew the very first GinGingers logo. And without either of us realising it at the time... ...she became the inspiration behind everything that followed.

How It All Began – Real Life, Real Skin, Real Curiosity

Back in 2020, like many people, life slowed down.

Between home-schooling, keeping everything together, and trying to stay sane, I found myself going back to something I’d always been interested in - natural skincare.

Not the complicated kind.
Just simple, natural skincare ingredients that actually do something.

I started experimenting with making gels - no heat, no unnecessary chemicals, just cold-processed skincare using ingredients I trusted.

At first, it was just curiosity.
Then it became something I couldn’t ignore.

Because it was working.

Why “GinGingers”? (Why It Means So Much to Me)

My daughter didn’t just inspire the name.

She was there for all of it.

She drew the first version of the logo when she was four.
She still helps me pack orders now.

And more than anything; she keeps me grounded.

Because I always think:

👉 If I wouldn’t use this on her, I won’t sell it to you.

That’s the standard.

So yes, GinGingers is a family-led natural skincare brand in the UK.
But for me, it’s also something more personal than that.

From Kitchen Table to Something I Could Stand Behind

Over the years, I worked through 100+ formulation trials and explored 20+ carefully selected natural ingredients before finding the balance I was looking for. I chose real, raw Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother", developed a cold-processed formulation to help preserve ingredient quality, and accepted one thing from the very beginning: it would smell like vinegar for a couple of minutes. After all, that's because it is real apple cider vinegar, and I never wanted to hide that behind heavy fragrances.

Six years on, GinGingers has grown from a kitchen-table idea into a trusted family-led British skincare manufacturing brand, helping customers across the UK through our website, Amazon, Etsy and other online marketplaces, as well as open arms for retail and wholesale deals. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing; every trial, every setback, and every small success helped shape the brand we are today.

Where We Stand Today

Today, GinGingers is proudly family-led, made in Yorkshire, and built on over 7 years of passion, perseverance, and continuous innovation. What began around a kitchen table; alongside my daughter, our very own "GinGinger," who inspired our name and even sketched our very first logo; has grown into an award-winning natural skincare brand trusted by customers across the UK.

Our Apple Cider Vinegar Gel is made with real Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother", cold processed, 99.92% natural, independently laboratory tested, and strengthened through collaborations with the University of Bradford, University of York, Sheffield Hallam University, and Coventry University.

Let Me Be Honest About the Smell (Because You’ll Notice It)

Yes... it smells like vinegar.

I'd be more worried if it didn't.

That's because we use real, raw Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother; not a fragrance designed to smell like it. We don't mask it with heavy perfumes because we believe honest ingredients should stay just that... honest.

The natural tea tree aroma soon takes over, and for most people, the vinegar scent fades within a couple of minutes.

Real Apple Cider Vinegar. Real ingredients. Nothing to hide.

My Approach to Skincare (Simple, Honest, No Nonsense)

I never wanted GinGingers to become a brand with shelves full of products telling you what was wrong with your skin. I wanted to create honest natural skincare that fits into real life.That's why every Apple Cider Vinegar Gel is built around a few simple principles:

✔ Carefully balanced ingredients
✔ Real Apple Cider Vinegar with "The Mother"
✔ Cold-processed formulations
✔ Minimal, purpose-led ingredients

Because skincare shouldn't feel complicated.

It should feel honest, thoughtfully made, and trusted enough to become part of your everyday routine.

Simple. Honest. No nonsense. Just skincare made with purpose.

A Note From Our Founder

This brand started with my daughter, a kitchen table, and a bit of curiosity.

It’s grown slowly, properly, and with a lot of care.

And if you’re here reading this;
thank you for being part of it.

“GinGingers was created with one goal; to make skincare that feels honest and simple. Products that people understand and trust.” – Tina

Why Customers Trust GinGingers ?

Great skincare isn't created in isolation. Every GinGingers formulation has evolved through conversations with scientists, formulators, universities, innovation centres, retailers, and, most importantly, the customers who use our products every day. We listen, we learn, we refine; and then we do it all again. That's how we believe products should grow.

Today, our Apple Cider Vinegar Gel is proudly made in Yorkshire, independently laboratory tested, COSMOS Natural Certified, and Leaping Bunny Approved. Through collaborations with the University of Bradford, University of York, Sheffield Hallam University, Coventry University, and the UK's bio-based innovation network, we're continually exploring better ways to formulate, manufacture, and improve; while staying true to our promise of honest, natural skincare.

We're not trying to make the most products. We're trying to make every product worth remembering.
