The GinGingers Story
In 2020, like many others, I found myself with time to think. Life slowed down, and between home-schooling my four-year-old and trying to stay sane, I leaned into something I’d always loved - skincare!
We started experimenting at the kitchen table, using simple, natural ingredients to make skin gels without heating or unnecessary chemicals.
My redheaded daughter (my little “Ginginger”) and I were onto something.
The more I learned, the more serious it got. I spent nights researching and connecting with experts, including brilliant teams at local universities and innovation centres.
Over time, I developed a formula I could truly stand behind - a cold-processed Apple Cider Vinegar Gel, made with local ingredients, no fuss and a clear purpose: to help people feel good in their skin.
No gimmicks. Just real, natural skincare.
Let’s get the obvious bit out the way: yes, it smells of vinegar.
But it should - it’s real apple cider vinegar, not a watered-down essence.
That said, the natural tea tree scent soon takes over, and within minutes, the smell fades.
We don’t mask it with heavy perfumes or alcohol—because that’s not what this gel is about.
It’s about being open, effective and sustainable.
From the formula to the packaging.
What matters to us:
- Made in Yorkshire, using locally sourced ingredients where possible (including our ACV).
- Cold-processed to protect the natural actives and minimise our carbon footprint.
- Certified COSMOS Natural by the Soil Association.
- Cruelty-free, tested only on willing humans (never animals).
- 50% recycled plastic packaging, fully recyclable, with no outer boxes.
- Vegan-friendly and made with care - not greenwashing.
Why we're called GinGingers
My daughter - nicknamed the "Ginginger" - drew our logo when she was four and she still helps to pack orders.
This brand is for her, for you, and for anyone looking for simple, honest skincare that does what it says on the tin.
It’s not fancy. But it works. And it’s made with integrity.
