STORY

skinChemists is a British-born, beauty company that traces its roots back to the 1800s, with Thomas Ridley & Sons Chemists Ltd celebrating Queen Victoria's Jubilee with their popular Quinine and Tonic formula.

Francis G. F. Walker

Richard Walkers

In 1955, our founder (Richard Walkers)’s father, Francis G. F. Walker, graduated as a Pharmaceutical Chemist and went on to take over Ridleys, in Carlisle. It was shortly after this, that he created one of the first vegan, botanical, skin creams, fusing Elderflower with a natural moisturiser - a product that went on to make people look and feel the best for the next 50 years. Even back then, the dedication to quality and the commitment to results was there to be seen by the people they served.
