*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.

G
Store Owner
My professional journey began in Human Resource Management, where I spent over fifteen years building expertise in training, development, and people-centered practices. Armed with an MBA in Human Resource Management, I enjoyed a successful corporate career before choosing to pursue a different path.
That path led me to my family's Physiotherapy Clinic, where I gained a deeper appreciation for the many dimensions of health and wellness. Through that experience, I became increasingly fascinated by skincare and the science behind achieving healthy, resilient skin.
Like many people, my teenage daughter and I experienced our own skincare challenges. As I immersed myself in research and evidence-based skincare practices, I began applying what I learned to our routines. The positive changes we experienced transformed not only our skin but also my perspective on skincare as a whole.
Today, I am passionate about promoting products and treatments that prioritize both effectiveness and skin health. My philosophy is simple: achieve visible results while minimizing irritation and unnecessary complexity.
Skincare Approved by G was created to share trusted skincare recommendations, education, and solutions with individuals who value a balanced, thoughtful approach to skincare.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Warm regards,
