Our Penclawdd shelves have had a beautiful little update with these gorgeous local cards by Felicity Lloyd, Felicity Lloyd Bespoke Art - they felt rather perfect alongside our skincare.

⚠️ Some health conditions and medications can increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illness, including:
• Heart conditions

We're incredibly proud to share this.

Many of our patients will already know us as pharmacists and independent prescribers, but over the last year they've also been working on something new.

Gower Apothecary was created to bring together professional expertise and thoughtfully formulated skincare that people can genuinely trust.

The collection is now available online and in Penclawdd Pharmacy.

Please give the page a follow and help us spread the word 💙

✨ Why We Started Gower Apothecary

Hi, we're Stacey and Jon - the pharmacists behind Gower Apothecary.

We're pharmacists, independent prescribers, pharmacy owners, parents, and now the founders of Gower Apothecary.

For years, we've helped patients with a wide range of skin concerns, from dryness and sensitivity to acne, rosacea and age-related skin changes. Time and time again, we saw people spending money on products they didn't need, while struggling to find skincare they could genuinely trust.

As pharmacists and independent prescribers, we spend every day helping people manage their skin health. Gower Apothecary was born from a simple belief: skincare should be effective, uncomplicated and backed by expertise.

We wanted to create products that are clinically considered, beautifully made and designed to support healthy, happy skin.

No gimmicks. No impossible promises. No 10-step routines.

Just thoughtful, pharmacist-led skincare you can trust.

We're incredibly proud to finally share Gower Apothecary with you.

Our collection is now available online at www.gowerapothecaryskincare.com and in Penclawdd Pharmacy.

Thank you for being here at the beginning of our journey.
