A minimalist skincare routine focuses on using fewer, carefully chosen products rather than lots of different steps. A simple routine might include cleansing, a targeted skincare product and moisturising.
GinGingers fits naturally into a minimalist approach because our Apple Cider Vinegar Gel is multi-purpose and designed for use across the face, scalp and body, allowing one product to have a place in several different skincare routines.
The skin's surface is naturally slightly acidic, and its pH forms part of the environment that helps support the skin barrier and normal skin function.
Apple cider vinegar is naturally acidic, but that doesn't mean every ACV product automatically “balances” the skin's pH. GinGingers Apple Cider Vinegar Gel is carefully formulated for topical cosmetic use, rather than simply applying undiluted apple cider vinegar directly to the skin.
GinGingers was founded by Tina Harris in West Yorkshire, UK. The idea began during the Covid lockdown, when Tina started experimenting with apple cider vinegar skincare and set out to create a more practical, convenient way to use it.
What started as a lockdown project developed over several years into GinGingers Apple Cider Vinegar Gel, with Tina's young daughter even drawing the brand's original logo.
Today, GinGingers remains an independent, woman-founded British skincare brand, built around purposeful ingredients, research and a refreshingly simple approach to skincare.
