*According to an independent third-party assessment:
“Based on an analysis of the individual ingredients and their concentrations within the formula, the weight of evidence indicates that this product would be safe for use during pregnancy and lactation.”
All our products undergo a comprehensive independent toxicological review and are third-party lab tested for a range of parameters including: microbiology, stability, pH, packaging compatibility, general safety, and compliance with UK/EU cosmetic regulations. These assessments are conducted as part of a formal Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR).
However, as cosmetic products cannot be ethically tested on pregnant or lactating women, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, we always recommend that those who are pregnant or breastfeeding consult their healthcare professional before use.

Store Owner
I am a trained Human Resource Professional with an MBA in Human Resource Management-Training and Development and have amassed fifteen (15) years corporate experience in that discipline.
I decided to embark on a new career path which led me to be involved in my family's Physiotherapy Clinic. During that period I became very aware of the multi-faceted world of wellness. I settled into the area of skin care and began immersing myself in the vast amounts of available knowledge. Some recommendations therein led me to experiment with my teenage daughter and myself as we both had skin challenges. I can say now that I am beginning to see the best skin of my life and regret not knowing about the regimen earlier.
I am the proud promoter of products and treatments which ensure minimum irritation but maximum efficacy.
The love of skincare has prompted the birth of the business Skincare Approved by G, to share and promote with those persons who believe in following a similar skincare philosophy.
Thank you for allowing me to take you on this journey.
Best regards,
G
