A Glittering Start to 2022 for Gardiner Family Apothecary!

Barely into a new year and the awards are already starting to stack up for Gardiner Family Apothecary and our Irish free-from skincare brands, Elave and Ovelle!

Joanna Gardiner, CEO, said: “We are delighted that Gardiner Family Apothecary is being recognised across the sector and media in 2022 for the excellence of our business and our outstanding skincare formulations.

“As a homegrown family business founded over 86 years ago by my grandfather, Joseph Gardiner, we have dedicated our expertise to creating only the finest quality skincare for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone Irish skin.

“We have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to recognising and leaving out, the harmful ingredients that can irritate and damage delicate skin. Now the public is becoming increasingly aware of how important it is to treat skin right.”      

Gardiner Family Apothecary has just been awarded Best Cruelty Free Skincare Brand and Best Sustainable Skincare Brand by Global Health & Pharma, the prestigious global information sharing platform for professional decision-makers which focuses on human, animal and environmental health.

Manuka honey is a type of honey native to New Zealand which is valued for its host of healing properties. It is produced by bees which pollinate the flowers of the Manuka bush. Manuka’s antibacterial and bacterial resistant properties, attributed to an active ingredient called methylglyoxal, set it apart from other honeys. This means that bacteria should not be able to build up a tolerance to its antibacterial effects.
